What does Google say about SEO? /

Official statement

Google can process client-side rendering and essentially renders every crawled page. Hundreds of thousands of indexed pages prove that rendering works. However, some configurations don’t work, particularly using the # (hashtag) symbol to structure URLs instead of real paths.

TL;DR

Google is able to index client-side rendered pages, but improper use of the # symbol in URLs can cause issues. Be mindful of your setup to avoid indexing errors.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Le client-side rendering est-il recommandé pour tous les sites ?
Pas nécessairement. Cela dépend de la structure du site et des ressources disponibles pour le faire correctement.
Pourquoi le symbole # pose-t-il problème dans les URLs ?
Google ne traite pas les fragments contenant # comme des chemins distincts, ce qui peut empêcher l'indexation correcte.
Comment puis-je tester le rendu de mes pages ?
Utilisez Google Search Console et des outils spécifiques comme la fonctionnalité 'Mobile-Friendly Test' pour vérifier le rendu de votre contenu.
