Javascript content not being indexed by Google

[akih]

I thought Google has gotten better at picking up unique content from javascript.  I'm not seeing it with our site.  We rate beauty and skincare products using our algorithms.  Here is an example of a product -- https://www.skinsafeproducts.com/tide-free-gentle-he-liquid-laundry-detergent-100-fl-oz

When you look at the cache page (text) from google none of the core ratings (badges like fragrance free, top free and so forth) are being picked up for ranking.  Any idea what we could do to have the rating incorporated in the indexation.

Hi akih,

I don't believe the "text-only" cache is representative of Google's index. They process JavaScript via their rendering service before they index content - so the full cached version is a more accurate representation of the content Google has seen/indexed.

Also, I ran a search for your site using a snippet of copy from the "Common Preservative Free" badge, and Google is returning pages with this text in the displayed page description. Here's a link to the SERP for the query I used.

I'd say Google's able to see and index this content just fine - it's just the "text-only" cached content does not include any JavaScript-rendered content.

Best,
Mike

Hello!

Pretty sure the issue is that this content requires a user action before being seen. Google will not crawl/index content which is not loaded until the user interacts. This post is a great

will show you how to use Chrome's 'inspect element' as a better way to see what's going on.

But in general, the content needs to load before a user action takes place (even if in JS) and yes Google is getting better, but won't look at anything behind a click. Google just confirmed this at their recent I/O conference, stating that they do render JavaScript but it could be a week after they first render the normal HTML.
