I am pretty new to web development, and changed my company website to a single page site last year that utilizes a ton of js so that the user can complete many tasks simultaneously without having to leave the front page. While my users really seem to like the new layout, I did not realize the effect this would have on my SEO, and I dropped out of google searches completely.So, on this new version of my site, I am detecting whether or not the user has js enabled. If the user links to \[code\]www.myAddress.com/howItWorks.php\[/code\], for example, and has js disabled, like the google bot, they will be able to use view the content. If they have js enabled, though, I want to redirect to my main page, \[code\]www.MyAddress.com\[/code\], which remains a single-page layout. Essentially, I want only google (and the few with js disabled) to see the old layout, while everyone else uses the newer stuff.I heard meta redirects are horrible to use with SEO and that some search engines ignore sites that use them because they are a common tool for spammers.
- If I use a meta redirect after detecting that the user has js enabled, will it hurt my SEO?
- Is there something else I should use?
