This is the most relevant chat I've ever heard around my site's architecture! Thank you for making the complicated digestible on the topic of JS SEO! We've got a long way to go, but every day we work toward making it better.
Good one ☝️ came to know ajax is asynchronous Java script 😊
Watched the second time, after nearly two years.
why google guys are like google colorful font
I wonder, could I conclude from this that SSR and SSG to achieve SEO is like using shotguns to kill mosquitos? I always wondered whether cached JSON API responses (or even pregenerated and thrown on a CDN) and URLs that also work if you directly surf to them aren't just as good for SEO. I'd love to have that view confirmed if it's true or contradicted with a great explanation why SEO would suffer 🙂
Nice info
Contenu de qualité.
Nothing to do with the SEO but is the hair colour on purpose or happy accident?
Best episode yet, Jamie asked good questions.
I love these. I wonder if they share hair dye.
PRO TIP: Change playback speed to 1.50 to save time.

Great video
Estaria bueno que esto tuviera subtitulos en español
Great episode, thank you!
Did I understand correctly that the page will not be indexed until the JS and CSS are parsed, executed, and rendered?
I was surprised (not unpleasantly) about it being better to wait a bit longer, but have the page more fully delivered. I'm sick of pages that are so focused on FCP that they are constantly rebuilding themselves as I try to engage with the content.
like magic for me too..
This was the best video of the series so far. Thank you. Looking forward to more like this.
finally some good questions!
A lot of this was a bit over my head. But I did learn about Lighthouse, so thank you very much for this video, and this series. This is very helpful to me.
