Is React bad for SEO?

No. React only struggles when pages render entirely in the browser, leaving crawlers an empty shell. With server-side rendering, static generation, or prerendering, React sites rank as well as any other.

Do I need to rebuild my React site for SEO?

Usually not. Adding prerendering or SSR, per-route metadata, clean canonicals, and structured data fixes most indexing problems without a full rebuild.

How do I check if my React pages are indexable?

Use View Source (not Inspect) or run curl on a page and confirm the title and body text match that page rather than the homepage. Then verify the rendered HTML in Search Console's URL Inspection tool.

React SEO vs Traditional SEO: What's Different? | Tag Easy

Traditional SEO and React SEO share the same goals — relevant content, clean structure, fast pages, good links. The difference is rendering: a React single-page app ships an almost-empty HTML shell and builds pages in the browser, so crawlers and AI engines often see nothing. React SEO adds server-side rendering, static generation, or prerendering plus per-route metadata so each page ships real, indexable HTML. Everything else is the same.

React is not bad for SEO — it just needs the right rendering strategy. If you are on React, prerender or server-render every route, give each page a unique title, meta description, canonical, and JSON-LD, and keep the JavaScript bundle lean. Do that and a React site ranks as well as any server-rendered one. This is exactly the technical SEO work Tag Easy specialises in.
