Debugging rendering problems at scale

For every website on the internet, Google has a fixed budget for how many pages their bots can and are willing to crawl. The internet is a big place, so Googlebot can only spend so much time crawling and indexing our websites. Crawl budget optimization is the process of ensuring that the right pages of our websites end up in Google’s index and are ultimately shown to searchers. Google’s recommendations for optimizing crawl budget are rather limited, because Googlebot crawls through most websites without reaching its limit. But enterprise-level and ecommerce sites with thousands of landing pages are at risk of maxing out their budget. A 2018 study even found that Google’s crawlers failed to crawl over half of the webpages of larger sites in the experiment. Influencing how crawl budget is spent can be a more difficult technical optimization for strategists to implement. But for enterprise-level and ecommerce sites, it’s worth the effort to maximize crawl budget where you can. With a few tweaks, site owners and SEO strategists can guide Googlebot to regularly crawl and index their best-performing pages.

I want you to go away after this with a really clear view on why less definitely is more, what you can do to decide what actually is too much content to have on your site, and how to go about reducing the number of pages you’ve got. Ultimately, you’re here to find out how to reduce the amount of work you have to do in the long-run to get the same amount or more traffic.

In this talk you will learn how search intent can help you benefit from the growing popularity of Google Discover. You’ll get actionable tips, a case study example and exclusive data from SEMrush.

The document discusses optimizing product listing pages (PLPs) on ecommerce websites. It begins with the author describing their experience finding a website with little obvious "tech debt" issues to address. They then analyze which page templates drive the most revenue, finding PLPs account for 60% of organic revenue. The author breaks down PLPs into individual components and suggests prioritizing optimization of filters and internal linking. They argue for considering metrics beyond just search volume, like user behavior and conversion data, when deciding which page variants to focus on.

Deep dive into session isolation and why search engines render pages in isolated rendering sessions to avoid having the rendering of one web page affect the functionality or the content of another. Web crawling tools aim to replicate search engines' crawling and rendering behaviours by implementing and using web rendering systems. This offers insights into what search engines might see when they are crawling and rendering web pages. While there is no defined standard for an automated rendering process, search engines (e.g. Google, Bing, Yandex) render pages in isolated rendering sessions. This way, they avoid having the rendering of one web page affect the functionality or the content of another. Isolated rendering sessions should have isolated storage and avoid cross-tab talking.

The document discusses SEO considerations for JavaScript frameworks. It notes that SEOs need to understand how JavaScript works and how search engines handle it, as many developers are not familiar with SEO. It provides tips for SEOs, including that search engines don't interact with the page content in the same way users do, and content should be loaded by default without user interaction. It also discusses different approaches to rendering pages for search engines like server-side rendering versus client-side rendering.

Keeping up with the state of web technology is one of the biggest challenges for us developers today. We invent new tools; we define new best practices, everything’s new, always... And we do all that for good user experience! We do all that to build the best possible web – it’s all about our users. But is it, really? Or do developers like to play with technology secretly loving the new and shiny? Or do we only pretend that it’s about users, and behind closed doors, it’s developer experience that matters to us? Did we lose direction? Is it time for a critical look at the state of the web and the role JavaScript plays in it?

The document discusses the challenges of indexing JavaScript-powered websites by search engines. It notes that JavaScript rendering takes significant computational resources, straining crawlers' budgets. It also suggests that client-side rendered JavaScript websites have difficulties with search engine indexing and ranking, as content may be missed during Google's two-wave indexing process for JavaScript. The document recommends using server-side rendering, hybrid rendering, or prerendering to help search engines properly index JavaScript websites.

With JavaScript SEO, we're crawling, rendering & indexing. We want to work together with Devs and SEOs to get the best outcome for the client.

This document contains the transcript of a presentation by Chris Heilmann on web development. Some of the key points discussed include: - The benefits of progressive enhancement and using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript together to build robust and accessible websites. - How limitations in early design can foster creativity. - The importance of error handling and defensive coding practices. - Embracing new technologies like Service Workers and Manifests to build Progressive Web Apps. - Rethinking the idea that JavaScript is unreliable and should not be depended on, as modern browsers have made it a capable tool.

It's what it says, some of the problems we've seen with JS frameworks and some of the things to look at to figure out what's going on.

London Web Performance Meetup - 10th November 2020 There is a lot of talk about web performance as a ranking signal in Search Engines and how important or not it is, but often people are overlooking how performance affects multiple phases of a search engine such as crawling, rendering, and indexing. In this talk, we'll try to understand how a search engine works and how some aspects of web performance affect the online presence of a website.

This talk will guide you through the prototyping of javascript interactions in web applications using a great and fun tool called iXEdit.

The document summarizes key techniques for responsible responsive web design, including building mobile-first responsive designs, keeping CSS images in their place, conditionally loading JavaScript based on screen size and capabilities, delivering different sized images at different screen sizes, and handling high-density images carefully. It also discusses debates around whether a one-size-fits-all responsive approach can compete with a tailored experience and ensuring responsive designs are optimized for performance.

The document discusses the problem that web crawlers cannot see dynamic or AJAX content on websites that users see. It proposes a solution where web servers execute their JavaScript at crawl time and provide the same content to crawlers and users to make AJAX states crawlable and indexable. Major search engines and web servers would need to agree to adopt standards around modifying URLs and executing JavaScript at crawl time in order to solve this problem.

SMX Advanced Europe, June 2021 - With the advent of new technologies and the massive use of Javascript on the internet, search engines have started using Web Rendering Services to better understand the content of pages on the internet. What are the difficulties in building a WRS? Are tools we use every day replicating what search engines do? In this session, Giacomo will drive you on a discovery journey digging in some techy implementation details of a search engine like web rendering service building process, covering edge cases such as infinite scrolling, iframe, web component, and shadow DOM and how to approach them.

A basic introduction to HTML5 and it's new features. Created for the HTML5/CSS3 meetup Frankfurt in March 2010.

This document discusses various tactics for improving SEO and site performance. It provides tips on keyword research using persona targeting, content strategy, internal linking to distribute link equity, log file analysis to understand crawl budget opportunities, auditing JavaScript sites, gaining real estate in SERPs through featured snippets and domain stacking, speed optimizations like code ordering and preloading/prerendering resources, and using analytics to better predict user behavior.

In the beginning, progressive enhancement was simple: HTML layered with CSS layered with JavaScript. That worked fine when there were two browsers, but in today's world of multiple devices and multiple browsers, it's time for a progressive enhancement reboot. At the core is the understanding that the web is not print - the same rules don't apply. As developers and consumers we've been fooled into thinking about print paradigms for too long. In this talk, you'll learn just how different the web is and how the evolution of progressive enhancement can lead to better user experiences as well as happier developers and users. This deck is a conference-agnostic one, suitable to be shown anywhere without site-specific jokes!

Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states. In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing. Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.
