Google Finally Indexes Dynamic Ajax Driven Web Pages

April 7, 2016

So enjoy the full power of HTML5 Data Bindings

Back in the days when we released HTML5 Data Bindings and the concept of dynamic Ajax driven web pages there was one big concern. Search engines such as Google and Bing were excellent at indexing HTML but not so much when it came to understanding JavaScript and crawling AJAX content. But now, we're happy to share with you that this is not the case anymore and after so many years they finally do! As long as you're not blocking Googlebot from crawling your JavaScript or CSS files, Google is generally able to render and understand your web pages like modern browsers.

The Story

With this great news, we decided to deprecate HTML5 Data Bindings SEO, which you will no longer need. Of course, there's no harm if you decide to continue to use it but we won't update it anymore. 

We did a couple of tests with showcases, created entirely with DMXzone extensions and the results are impressive, as you can see in the image below. So no more worries about search engines not crawling your websites properly!  

More info on on crawling and indexing sites you can read on the official Google Webmaster Central Blog. We also suggest that you check out Adam Audette's article on the subject, as he and his colleagues tested how Googlebot crawls JavaScript.
