SEO Considerations When Using ReactPress for React Integration in WordPress

[shorielov]

Hello ReactPress Community,​

I'm exploring the integration of React applications into WordPress using ReactPress and am particularly interested in understanding the SEO implications of this approach.​

Given that React applications often rely heavily on client-side rendering, which can pose challenges for search engine crawlers, I have a few questions:​

• Server-Side Rendering (SSR) Support: Does ReactPress facilitate server-side rendering for React components within WordPress to enhance SEO performance? If not, are there recommended strategies or workarounds to implement SSR in this context?​
• SEO Best Practices: Are there specific best practices or configurations recommended when using ReactPress to ensure that React-driven content is effectively indexed by search engines?

No, SSR doesn't work with ReactPress. I am not aware of any workarounds. ReactPress gives you a standard SPA, all SEO best practices apply.

The gist:

If have have SEO content, use WordPress for that. If you want to provide a web app with dynamic content use ReactPress.
