Bad SEO (unable to crawl) is one downside of using dynamically loaded components. I've resolved it be modifying Svelte to allow using await on "top-level" of component script so that component loading blocks rendering, even on SSR. I should rebase the fork and finally try to get it to main Svelte repository if there's others that need it.

Yeah, that's a good caveat. And I need to dig more into the specifics of how crawlers are handling JS now.

But rollup fingerprints the chunks, which is good for CDN support of these static assets. So I would expect SEO to work at least as well as a traditional api-backed SPA, but possibly not as well as static pages
