JavaScript sites
Google can render JavaScript, but content that only appears after blocked or failing requests may never reach the index. Server rendering removes that risk for important pages.
Page indexed without content
Google indexed the page but could not read its content. This is not a robots.txt issue. Check what Googlebot actually receives and renders for the page.
Diagnose it
Symptoms, checks and fixes
Common symptoms
- A warning in the Page indexing report for "Page indexed without content".
- The page relies on scripts to show its main content.
Checks to run
| Check | How to tell | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| What does Googlebot render? | Run a live test in URL Inspection and view the rendered HTML and screenshot. | Fix the template so main content is in the rendered page.[1][2] |
| Does content need blocked scripts or data? | Check whether the scripts or API calls that load content are blocked or fail for crawlers. | Allow those resources, or render main content on the server.[3] |
| Is different content served to Google? | Compare what a visitor sees with what the live test shows. | Serve the same content to Googlebot and visitors.[2][4] |
