In episode 91, Dan Reno of Botify and Zach Chahalis of iPullRank stop by to discuss how JavaScript can prevent Google from rendering all of your content, how that might impact crawling, and how you can use dynamic rendering to ensure you’re not stuck in a delayed rendering queue.

We discuss how Botify’s tools like SpeedWorkers can be used to sniff out and prevent issues before they arise.

Dan & Zach also share some insights on how Google comprehends JS rendering and where that interaction could improve.
