Whether you’re using a Sitebulb Desktop or Cloud crawler plan, you can easily compare the response and rendered HTML of web pages. Since almost all websites now use some sort of JavaScript, which Google is increasingly rendering in the browser, JavaScript SEO issues are an inevitability that needs resolving.
We use the response vs render report on Sitebulb. We run that in our regular client audits and it’s part of our processes when any key change is being made. I love the tool!
Identify at a glance JavaScript rendering issues that are present at the template level.
Sitebulb's Response vs Render report allows you to understand how JavaScript might be affecting critical SEO elements. This enables you to fix issues, such as pages suddenly no longer being indexable because crucial <head> elements, such as canonical URLs and meta robots directives, are being served via JavaScript.
It is recommended that priority internal links be included in the HTML rather than JavaScript. Not doing so could cause issues with orphan pages or low internal links. With the Response vs Render report, you can quickly identify links that are reliant on JavaScript and ensure that link equity is safely distributed within the HTML.
JavaScript rendering takes resources, and resources cost money. There are no guarantees Google will render all of your content. Content in click-to-view elements, like drop-down menus, tabs, and accordions, often isn't rendered. Use the Response vs Render report to help you become more strategic in signaling to Google which URLs are valuable enough to render.
In addition to the Response vs Render report, which identifies JavaScript issues at scale, Sitebulb also allows you to check individual page URLs with our Single Page Analysis tool.
“I think most SEOs still don’t fully understand what the response vs render means and how it all works. But with Sitebulb, I can see the lines of code, as I can when using other tools, but the other tools don’t have the Hints and Hint explanations, which gives you the context. This is what’s so helpful when communicating with the client.”
