Auditing JavaScript SEO

Sitebulb can easily audit JavaScript SEO issues on websites, but we wanted to know how often SEOs regularly include JavaScript auditing in their processes.

  • 88%of SEOs said they deal with sites that have significant dependence on JavaScript sometimes or all the time.

  • 79.4%said they use tools to analyze the difference between the response HTML and the rendered HTML sometimes or all the time.

How often do you deal with sites that have a significant dependence on JavaScript?

Most SEOs are having to deal with JavaScript sites a lot (“sometimes” or “all the time”). 

Do you use tools to analyze the difference between the response HTML and the rendered HTML?

Despite the apparent knowledge gap, most respondents (79.4%) said they use tools to analyze the difference between the response HTML and the rendered HTML.

It still surprises me that so many SEOs don't check the difference between the raw and rendered HTML. There are really good tools like Sitebulb response vs render report and single page analysis or the <view rendered source> extension in Chrome that you can use to diagnose this. This can be vital, especially for news websites and others too.”
