Let's say I am creating a webapp for a library. My base url is http://mylibrary.com. I want to use "pretty" URLs as follows:
- http://ift.tt/1M6q9ag (list all books)
- http://ift.tt/1g0cgwt (details of a particular book)
At present my approach is to create a single page app and use history api to manage the URLs. i.e I load all CSS and JS files when the user visits the home page. From then I just get data from server using AJAX, in JSON format and then create the required HTML using Javascript.
But I have learnt that this is not so good from SEO point of view.If a crawler were to visit http://ift.tt/1M6q9ag it will not see booklist at all because AJAX calls would not take place.
My question is what is the other approach to design this kind of app ? Specifically:
- Should the server create entire web page and send it to browser? I mean will the response from server include everything from
<html>to</html>or only the required parts? - Do programming languages like PHP efficiently manage to send the HTML to clients ? I would rather have the webserver do it ..
- It appears to me that in this scenario AJAX would have very little role to play other than may be change minor parts of the page. Is that a correct understanding ? ..and here I was thinking AJAX is the modern way of doing things ..
I am mostly a self taught developer so it is likely I have got some wrong notions in my head. Would like to hear from experienced pros. Thanks!
