SEO mistakes I've made and how I fixed them
Call me old-fashioned, but when I look at the source code of a web page designed using the "modern" frameworks, it looks like a horrible mess of JS/CSS with very little actual content. E.g. take a look at this guy's code snippet's HTML source in the middle of the page - it's just a wall of <div>s and <span>s, for every single visible character.<p>The search engines these days cannot even function without a JS interpreter, something that surely increases the complexity and cost of building one.<p>Long gone are the days when one cared about semantic elegance of HTML code, per-site optimized CSS stored in an external file for easy caching, only occassional use of JS for easier navigation...<p>Nowadays you don't build websites, you have to build "apps". It's one of many signs of the "appification" of Internet.
