new research from @sejournal shows that google basically uses a virtual clock to pause time if the web rendering service goes past five seconds. it looks like anything happening after that window is just ~~ignored~~ lost in the shuffle of how they process pages. this makes heavy javascript even more dangerous for local rankings since you cant rely on delayed execution for your content to actually show up.

lowkey this is why i always prioritize server-side rendering for any client sites that rely on dynamic content.

i had a client's service area pages ~~completely drop~~ because their reviews were loading via a delayed script that never actually triggered in the index.
