Does Joyned affect SEO performance?

No, Joyned does not harm your website's SEO. Here’s why:

• Shadow DOM Usage:

Joyned operates within a Shadow DOM, meaning its elements are isolated from your website’s main DOM structure. Search engine crawlers typically do not index content within a Shadow DOM, ensuring that Joyned’s components do not interfere with your core content or SEO strategy.

• Non-Crawlable Attributes:

Joyned’s HTML elements include attributes that explicitly instruct search engine bots not to crawl or index them. For example:

<!-- Meta tag in the head section →

<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">

<!-- Joyned widget inside the body →

<joyned-widget style="display: block;"></joyned-widget>

These attributes ensure search engines ignore Joyned's content and don't appear in search results.

Summary:

Joyned is designed to enhance user experience while maintaining optimal SEO performance and page stability (CLS). Its implementation prevents any negative SEO impact by:

• Using the Shadow DOM for isolation.
• Applying non-crawlable attributes to all injected elements.
