Fundamental 4/21 Changes
Desktop Crawl is for Content &
Desktop Rendering is Canonical
• For mDot Sites
• For Responsive Design &
Selective Serving
• In App Indexing & Deep
Linking
Mobile Crawl focuses on
Rendering Rather Than Content
• Need CSS & JS to
Render
• Rendering is about UX
• Hidden Text & Links
are Devalued
