Best episode yet, Jamie asked good questions.

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.

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.

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.

Did I understand correctly that the page will not be indexed until the JS and CSS are parsed, executed, and rendered?

Watched the second time, after nearly two years.

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 :)
