Are you sure about that?

This is your page code:


I don't think it's working the way you intended.

Quote:
❌ Claim 1: "Uses SSR and SSG... search engine crawlers receive full HTML"
REALITY: When I fetched the site as a crawler would, I received:

An empty HTML body with zero content
Only a title tag visible
No server-rendered content whatsoever

This is the opposite of SSR/SSG. If SSR/SSG were properly implemented, I would have received the full restaurant content (menu, about, reservations) in the initial HTML response.
❌ Claim 2: "Built-in SEO that support for managing metadata, sitemaps, and canonical URLs"
REALITY: The fetch showed:

No meta descriptions
No Open Graph tags
No structured data
No canonical tags
No evidence of a sitemap

❌ Claim 3: "Loads fast"
REALITY:

Can't properly measure Core Web Vitals when content doesn't load for crawlers
Client-side rendering typically results in slower initial content paint
Google collects Core Web Vitals by observing how real users interact with your website How Core Web Vitals affect application SEO: Understanding Google page experience ranking and Lighthouse scores - Vercel, but without proper SSR, the initial experience is compromised

The Technical Truth
The site owner either:

Doesn't understand that their SSR/SSG isn't working properly
Is being deceptive about the implementation
Has misconfigured their Vercel deployment

What Properly Configured SSR Should Look Like:
When fetching a properly SSR/SSG site, you receive:

Full HTML content in the response
All text content visible without JavaScript
Meta tags, structured data, and SEO elements present
Immediate crawlability

What This Site Actually Does:

Sends empty HTML shell
Requires JavaScript execution to see anything
Provides nothing for search engines to index
Fails basic SEO requirements
Did you check this with anything or ask someone else to review it? Do an SEO assesment of that SEO's guys own website before you decide to listen to him

It looks outstanding and does load extremely fast. Have you had any success in Google with it?
