JS made development faster and products became appealing to users but it complicates things in search engine optimization. JavaScript pages are faster than Google&#8217;s crawlers; They can&#8217;t process and render content developed on JS because pages are written on JavaScript load faster than Google&#8217;s bots. They reach to read the pages but pages loads-up and they don\u2019t even get a chance to render source codes. Google updates its algorithms and optimization techniques but still, it faces many challenges. Google has been trying to improve its ability to crawl and index web pages and applications built on JavaScript. They have made some improvements yet still they couldn&#8217;t make it.
