      I tried using some of the moz tools like the "on page grader" and it was not able to read any of the writing on my webpage because wix uses javascript. Will this impact my rankings on google compared to my competitors? The New Wix websites allow you to build a website in HTML. Should I switch to this?

      Thanks,

      Jonathan

        Google is capable of executing javascript. Here's a post from Google on the subject.

        You can see how Google sees your page by using Search Console, then fetching and rendering the page.

        https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/

        With that said, I'd opt for the version of Wix, especially if it's limiting your ability to use tools that aren't quite as sophisticated as Google.
