This document discusses how search engines like Google render and digest web page content. It notes that Google places more importance on text appearing above the fold, without needing to scroll. The document also references Google patents from 2012-2018 that focus on page layout. It indicates that Google limits the CPU consumption used to render pages, and that the prominence and location of content within the rendered page layout is important. Finally, it poses the question of whether optimizing for rendering and search engine processing can help websites rank better in search results.

My name is Bartosz Góralewicz and I run Onely agency. At Onely we help our clients with technical SEO and web performance, but over the last few years, we are seeing a trenendous potential with diagnosing, solving and fixing both rendering and indexing issues. Let’s start with indexing.
Oh and one more thing ... there is a lot to digest today but don’t worry about missing some of the info, sources or links. I’ll include the link to this deck on the last slide. Sit back and enjoy

Do you remember when black hat SEOs used black font on a black background to stuff keywords?

With JavaScript SEO as we know it, this is where we would finish.
Turns out that… this is just the beginning. ENTER RENDERING SEO
When working with large websites, it is crucial to have a very good understanding of how Google’s WRS is seeing links. Link location (of if its visible to Google at all) can and WILL affect your crawling budget, importance of outgoing links etc.
