Q: I have a critical question about SEO
Hello Sheetany Team!
I love your product, the idea of creating websites from Google Sheets is brilliant.
I have a critical question about SEO. Sites built on Sheetany use Client-Side Rendering (CSR), which makes the content invisible to search engine crawlers on initial load. This leads to serious problems:
Poor or delayed indexing in Google/Yandex.
Broken link previews in social media.
I noticed that your own blog (blog.sheetany.com) is perfectly indexable because it uses Server-Side Rendering (SSR) — the perfect solution!
Question/Wish: Are there plans to add SSR functionality for our sites too? This feature would make Sheetany an ideal SEO tool and a true must-have for all of us on AppSumo.
Thank you!

I’d like to clarify that all websites built with Sheetany already use SSR, including our own blog (blog.sheetany.com).
In some cases, search engines may still take a little time before fully indexing new sites. To help speed this up, we provide a sitemap that you can submit manually to Google or other search engines for faster indexing.

Hello and thank you for the quick response.
Unfortunately, the evidence doesn't support the claim that client sites use SSR. Checking the source code (view-source) shows only an empty HTML shell with "skeletons," and no AI (Gemini, ChatGPT, Perplexity) can read the text.
This is fundamentally different from your own blog (blog.sheetany.com), which correctly uses SSR and is perfectly indexable.
I think there might be a bit of a misunderstanding. blog.sheetany.com is fully built on Sheetany using the Blog Template, and it has the same features as all the other templates.

Thank you for the reply. Let me clarify the core technical issue.
All pages on our Sheetany-built site are served as an empty HTML shell. The content is only rendered in the client's browser (CSR).
The verifiable result: no AI crawlers (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.) can read our content or metadata. They all see a blank page. Anyone can easily verify this.
This makes the site completely invis
