How does Googlebot work with our collections?

Since 2015, Googlebot can execute javascript files and read DOM. So, when Googlebot looking for our collection page, it executes each js file and builds a full page, that it can read and index. Therefore, there is no difference between a static page and a dynamic loading page, Googlebot will index them equally.

There had been a few tests done to check the crawling ability of the Googlebot, here are the most important ones:

  1. Test the search engine’s ability to account for dynamically inserted text when the text is within the HTML source of the page.

  2. Test the search engine’s ability to account for dynamically inserted text when the text is outside the HTML source of the page (in an external JavaScript file).

Result: In both cases, the text was crawled and indexed, and the page ranked for the content.
