so basically everything you'd want search engines to index...but it's an SPA that renders no HTML without js?

i'm on mobile and upon navigating to the site i get a "loading..." screen for a couple seconds. afterwards i see a single page with barely any surfaced content.

not a great sign. certianly neither fast nor efficient.

this is the exact SPA where SSR should have been a baseline requirement but it's somehow still missing (or not enabled by default) after 1448 commits?

Search engines run Javascript.

the big ones do...kind of.

either way, the actual user experience with real html is much better (it can be parsed & rendered in flight as it streams, etc.).

there's no good excuse for a content platform to require js to read the content.
