Will <noscript> hide the rest of the static content to Google crawlers?

This should be an easy one for someone:

Will the <noscript> element cause the HTML page to serve only the content within the <noscript> tag itself to google crawlers and hide all the rest of my static content causing it so not to be indexed?

Thanks!

Solution

  • No. The crawlers will see all your content, both within the <noscript> element and everywhere else.

    Crawlers behave a lot like browsers with JavaScript turned off - they see all the static content plus the <noscript> content, but not anything JavaScript-dependent.
