What Is SEO for Web Developers?

SEO for web developers is making sure search engines can fetch, render and understand what you ship. Google's developer's guide to Search is the place to start. Most of the job is ordinary good engineering: real links, real status codes, and content that exists in the page.

Does JavaScript Hurt SEO?

JavaScript does not hurt SEO by itself, but it adds steps that can fail. Google's JavaScript SEO basics describe three phases: crawling, rendering and indexing. One SearchNorwich talk in the podcast row is called "Maybe It Isn't JavaScript", which is a fair warning before you blame the framework.

Do Core Web Vitals Matter for SEO?

Core Web Vitals matter for SEO less than the fuss suggests, going by how many of these shows argue about it. The three metrics are Largest Contentful Paint within 2.5 seconds, Interaction to Next Paint of 200 milliseconds or less, and Cumulative Layout Shift of 0.1 or less. Fix them for people first, since a slow page loses visitors whatever it does to rankings.

Vibe Coding and SEO

Vibe coding and SEO meet when a site built by prompts goes live with thin pages and broken basics. Google's Search Off the Record team asks whether it is a yay or a nay in the last row, and Edward Sturm looks at where AI-built sites go wrong.

How Often SEO Shows Cover Web Development

SEO shows cover web development less than you might expect, given how much rests on it. The SEO TV index holds 309 videos and episodes on JavaScript, speed, site builders and developers from 25 shows, and 30 of them are from the past 12 months.
