The discipline of making JavaScript-dependent content crawlable, renderable and indexable.
JavaScript SEO covers the techniques needed to ensure content and links generated by JavaScript are discoverable by search engines, which must crawl, render and then index such pages. Common failure modes include content that never appears without user interaction, links built as non-anchor elements, and rendering that times out or errors. It is especially relevant for single-page applications and modern frameworks, where server-side rendering or prerendering often provides the most reliable path to indexing.
