If you have built a single page application website, you will know how hard it is to make it SEO ready.
Current practice, webmasters/developers create a “parallel universe” of content. Users with Javascript turn on will see dynamic contents, while users on non-javascript enabled browser (including crawlers) will see content that is static and created offline.
Google have been updating its algorithm on how it will support dynamic web pages (AJAX). Previously we are using the hash-bang approach. Which really doesn’t play well with other crawlers.
For our website, we will be using Prerender.io.
What is Prerender.io? it is a caching service, in which it creates a snapshot of every page on your website. These snapshots are created base on the final output of the page (yes AJAX is supported). This is good if you don’t have enough time to create two approach on your website that generate both dynamic and static pages.

Do you think your website looks a bit dated and it’s time for a redesign? Browsing the Internet to look for inspiration and latest trends could convince you that livening up your website with eye-catching animations is the way to go. But is it?
The human brain is biologically trained to be attracted by things that move and you can see the desire to capture movement and change in a vast number of artistic creations.
Although the web has started out as a fairly static medium of linked documents, developers didn’t take long to work out ways to introduce moving and blinking stuff to add more spice to web pages.
I’m talking about primitive attempts, at times misguided like the infamous blinking text and forever animating GIF images, but at other times already aware of the opportunities for increasing usability that animation effects could offer. The first rollover effects on buttons made possible by JavaScript are a case in point: by hovering over a button image a snippet of JavaScript code would swap the visible image with a second one, thereby changing the button’s appearance. Using images made the button more attractive and closer to real life, while the rollover effect gave users feedback about their interaction with the element on the page.
The big jump in the quality and complexity of animation on the web came with Flash, a software by Adobe. Despite being something of a usability nightmare, Flash allowed developers to do pretty amazing things on the Internet, including interactive games.
Today is a magic time for animation on the web. We enjoy more standards supporting browsers, fast Internet connections, and high resolution retina screens to deliver immersive animated content. Developers and designers have mostly stopped using proprietary technologies to embrace web standards and open source libraries to play animation directly in the browser. Here’s a rundown on what’s out there.
