Does anyone have experience with optimizing Vue.js applications for SEO? I see the general recommendation to use server-side rendering, but would love to know if there are specific practices that have proven to work.

Here's a cleaned up version of the reply to help someone with "vuejs seo":

Google has provided some valuable commentary on JavaScript SEO, including Vue.js, in a 2019 video on their search content site. You can find the video here: https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2019/03/introducing-new-javascript-seo-video. Since then, there have been further developments and improvements in this area.

To ensure your Vue.js site is properly optimized for SEO, it's essential to test and measure its performance:

Run Google's Lighthouse tool to assess how Google perceives your site. This tool provides insights into your site's performance, accessibility, and SEO.
Use Google Search Console https://search.google.com/search-console/about to monitor your site's crawl stats and identify any issues that may affect its visibility in search results.

These tools will give you a clear picture of your site's SEO health and help you avoid guesswork. If the tools report good crawl stats and Lighthouse shows that your content is rendered correctly, Google will likely index your site successfully.

To analyze your site's performance further and understand what it's known for, you can use additional tools like Google Analytics (free) and paid services such as SEMRush or Ahrefs.com.

Remember, don't rely on guesswork or let others speculate about your site's SEO. Use the available tools and data to make informed decisions and optimize your Vue.js site for search engines.
