It’s understood that indexing JavaScript content is delayed in Google, as it only happens when Google has enough resources for it. But how long are those delays? Here’s what we discovered.

The good news is that we can see that Google indexes JavaScript very quickly now. As much as 60% of the JavaScript content is indexed within the first 24 hours after indexing HTML.

But there is also bad news. As much as 32% of the tested pages have unindexed JavaScript content after one month, due to a variety of reasons.

The question here is do those websites have a no-script version? Googles indexing of Flarum has been very good overtime due to the fact that Flarum has a no-script version that the regular Google Bots can index and get information from before the Ajax Bot scans the page. I have a feeling that the sites with long delays/missing indexes either don't support no-script or only have very limited information (no SEO info).
