Audit JavaScript rendering pitfalls that prevent Googlebot from indexing dynamically rendered content

Steps

1. Use the URL Inspection tool's Live Test feature in Search Console to render a representative page and compare the rendered HTML against the raw server response
2. Identify critical content or links that appear only after client-side JavaScript execution and confirm they are present in the rendered DOM snapshot shown by the inspection tool
3. Test lazy-loaded images by confirming they have explicit width and height attributes and are within the initial viewport or use loading=eager for above-the-fold images
4. Check that internal links are standard HTML anchor tags with href attributes pointing to canonical URLs; JavaScript-only navigation using onclick or history.pushState without corresponding href values may not be followed by Googlebot
5. Consider server-side rendering (SSR) or dynamic rendering for content that is critical for indexing but depends heavily on client-side data fetching
