What about SEO? I've noticed a lot of these sites that are rendered client-side start with very little content in the HTML, doesn't this mean the search engines can't read the content?


According to this other LinkIn blog post, http://engineering.linkedin.com/frontend/leaving-jsps-dust-m... (look for SEO in the comments), they detect cases where the client can't or won't do JS and perform the rendering server-side.


How do they do that? I can't really figure out anything apart checking user agent (for web crawlers?)


you can simply check for the accepts header.
