npx claudepluginhub joshuarweaver/cascade-data-analytics --plugin kostja94-marketing-skills-5This skill uses the workspace's default tool permissions.
Guides rendering strategy selection and optimization for search engine and AI crawler visibility. **Golden rule**: Page data and metadata must be available on page load without JavaScript execution for optimal SEO.
Conducts multi-round deep research on GitHub repos via API and web searches, generating markdown reports with executive summaries, timelines, metrics, and Mermaid diagrams.
Dynamically discovers and combines enabled skills into cohesive, unexpected delightful experiences like interactive HTML or themed artifacts. Activates on 'surprise me', inspiration, or boredom cues.
Generates images from structured JSON prompts via Python script execution. Supports reference images and aspect ratios for characters, scenes, products, visuals.

| Method | When HTML generated | SEO | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| SSG (Static Site Generation) | Build time | ✅ Best | Blog, docs, marketing pages; content rarely changes |
| SSR (Server-Side Rendering) | Request time | ✅ Good | News, product pages; dynamic, personalized content |
| ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration) | Build + revalidate | ✅ Good | Large sites; static with periodic updates |
| CSR (Client-Side Rendering) | Browser (after JS) | ❌ Poor | Dashboards, account pages; no SEO needed |
| Dynamic rendering | On-demand for bots | ✅ Fallback | SPAs; prerender for crawlers, SPA for users |
HTML generated at build time; same HTML for every request. Best for SEO: crawlers receive full HTML immediately; optimal performance.
getStaticProps, Astro, GatsbyHTML generated on each request. Good for SEO: crawlers receive complete HTML; supports dynamic, personalized content.
getServerSideProps, RemixStatic at build; pages can revalidate after a period. Good for SEO: combines static performance with freshness.
revalidate in getStaticPropsServer sends minimal HTML shell; content renders in browser after JS loads. Not for SEO: crawlers may see empty content; indexing delays or failures.
Serve prerendered HTML to crawlers; serve SPA to users. Fallback when full SSR/SSG is not feasible (e.g. legacy SPA migration).
| Crawler | JavaScript | Content in initial HTML |
|---|---|---|
| Googlebot | Renders JS (Chrome); may have multi-day queue | Full weight; SSR/SSG preferred |
| AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) | Do not execute JS | Required—CSR content invisible |
| Bingbot | Renders JS | Same as Googlebot |
AI crawlers: ~28% of Googlebot's crawl volume. Critical content (articles, meta, nav) must be in initial HTML. See site-crawlability for AI crawler optimization; generative-engine-optimization for GEO.
Google does not simulate user clicks (tabs, carousels, "Load more"). Content loaded via AJAX or on interaction is not discoverable.
| Component | Requirement | Implementation |
|---|---|---|
| Tabs / Accordion | All tab content in DOM at load | Server-render; use <details>/<summary> or CSS show/hide |
| Carousel | All slides in initial HTML | Server-render; CSS/JS for show/hide only |
| Hero | Headline, CTA, LCP image in HTML | No JS-only rendering |
| Navigation | All nav links in first paint | No JS-injected menus for critical links |
Recommendation: Server-render (SSR/SSG) all critical content; use JS only for interaction (show/hide, animation). Content loaded on click = not indexed.
| Content type | Rendering | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Blog, docs, marketing | SSG or ISR | Best SEO; fast; static |
| Product, news, dynamic | SSR | Fresh content; crawler-ready |
| Dashboard, account | CSR | No SEO; auth required |
| Legacy SPA | Dynamic rendering | Bridge until SSR/SSG migration |
