I'm getting some problems with google crawlers and meta tags, I'm using reactjs with react-helmet (no ssr). React-helmet does work but google search does not seem to find the tags I added. I know that crawlers do run the website without js enabled, when testing this I can see that react-helmet does not render the tags when js is disabled (works fine when it is enabled).

The fact that react-helmet does not render tags when js is disabled might be the reason why the description and titles are wrong in google search. maybe that finding a way to renders the proper tags when js is disabled might fix the problem.

Any idea on how to do that?

thanks for the help.

You have two options if you want to make your React pages discoverable on search engines: server-side rendering (SSR) or prerendering.

Server Side Rendering:

React can render pages on the server-side, making it easier for search engine crawlers to discover and index your content. However, it requires a more advanced setup using a library like Next.JS along with additional time-consuming and expensive server.

Prerendering

Meanwhile, using Prerender is painless and straightforward. Their software will seamlessly create fully-rendered, static HTML versions of your website for social media, search engine crawlers and more. However, you have to install the Prerender.io middleware on your server.
