so basically everything you'd want search engines to index...but it's an SPA that renders no HTML without js?

i'm on mobile and upon navigating to the site i get a "loading..." screen for a couple seconds. afterwards i see a single page with barely any surfaced content.

not a great sign. certianly neither fast nor efficient.

this is the exact SPA where SSR should have been a baseline requirement but it's somehow still missing (or not enabled by default) after 1448 commits?

Search engines run Javascript.

the big ones do...kind of.

either way, the actual user experience with real html is much better (it can be parsed & rendered in flight as it streams, etc.).

there's no good excuse for a content platform to require js to read the content.

The fact that it's not SEO friendly really turn me off.

I'm looking for something quite similar to host my (software) product with the following features:

- a landing page

- a checkout page with basic promotion engine (like 50% off promo code)

- a blog engine (for SEO articles)

- maybe nice theme

I'm thinking of using Wordpress, but if there is anything good out there I'm willing to pay for it.

i recommend wordpress. you might need a plugin for the e-commerce part. although if it wasn't for the blog engine, maybe shopify is another good choice?

Thanks, my impression with Shopify is it's optimized for offline products (like clothes), but I'll give a quick look.

I gave thirty bees (https://thirtybees.com) a shot for my latest e-commerce project, and couldn't be happier. I am really enjoying the default theme. The default checkout system wasn't to my liking, so had to pay for a better checkout module.

How much Google can index client side content nowadays? AFAIK their crawler runs an outdated Chrome with some wall clock timeout for the JS to execute.

Try hugo ssg

If you don't put screen shots of any management consoles or even what the damn end users sees, I close the tab faster than it loaded.

Doesn't help that the site is in Russian
