Generally Google is a lot better at reading JavaScript than it's ever been. It seems like they are able to typically index content rendered in JavaScript that is visible upon page load to users. That said, Google does not seem to be able to index any content that requires a click. So if you are concerned about your AngularJS SEO, you should make sure that all content which you want to get indexed is visible on page load. This means any content requiring a click, such as an expanding container, contented in a tabbed experience, etc will likely not be indexable by Google.

Our tests show that Google can crawl, render, and index a pure-AngularJS site just fine when it's set up properly. However, correct crawling and indexing will .

Thanks for your views.

Don't use javascript and expect it to get indexed. Just don't do it.

If google is not indexing your pages, you might be considered webspam or just plain old fashioned crapola.

What you see and what google sees could be 2 different things.

Google is a brainless twit, needing to be spoon fed.

Don't expect your pages to show up for any great search terms if it's entirely in some script.

I can't imagine a site being completely angular.....that would be daft.

There are a plethora of problems for google crawling, from urls to server speed.

Google does not waste its time. You think google is going to wait for your page to be rendered on the fly? Then somehow make sense of it? Then index it for what you think it should be?

One obstacle after another means that google may never make it over the finish line.

You people take a good thing, abuse it to the max, use it where it shouldn't be, then expect google to love it.
