TL;DR
Using noindex solely in the initial HTML prevents rendering. As a result: no indexing. Google won't render your page, sentencing it to digital obscurity.

Comment savoir si une page a été correctement rendue et indexée ?
Utilisez Google Search Console pour vérifier l'état d'indexation et de rendu des pages.
Peut-on utiliser noindex après le rendu pour limiter les pages indexées ?
