Hello and welcome to this weeks Dev Diary, the short version and a tad more info about SEO concerns that I found out.

Last week went along with the following topics;

  • Searching for the best way to use CSS for Tabs and Loader screen, instead of Javascript. Search is still ongoing, but one of the most promising ways is to use “Checkboxes
  • Ran the Pingdom Website Speed Test to see which parts of the site loading took longer than expected and optimized the marked items as suggested by the site.
  • Investigating limits of the CSS in general, what can be done with it and what really needs to be done in JS.

I still need to determine what are the elements and functions that should be done using CSS in order to not hamper the SEO side of the website, as apparently JavaScript can affect negatively on your websites SEO, if used excessively or on certain kinds of functions. This in turn may cause the web crawlers of the search engine companies to not being able to interpret the website correctly, if it gets stuck on some JavaScript -function and may not map the site correctly due to this, weakening the sites search engine visibility, as explained here.

For more information on the matter, I recommend googling “JavaScript SEO problems” to find several good sources for this topic.
