Is Your Lovable Site on TanStack?
TanStack sites are server-rendered and visible to Google. Older Lovable sites use CSR and may be invisible to search engines. Find out which one you have.
Why it matters
Not all Lovable sites are treated equally by Google.
Older Lovable (CSR)
- Server sends an empty HTML shell
- Content loads via JavaScript
- Google crawls the shell — sees nothing
- Pages may never rank in search
Newer Lovable (TanStack)
- Server renders full HTML before sending
- Google reads all content immediately
- Pages indexed quickly and reliably
- Strong foundation for ranking
Frequently asked questions
What is TanStack Start?
TanStack Start is a React SSR framework. Lovable switched to it for newer projects because it makes sites crawlable out of the box — unlike the older Vite + React client-side setup.
My site is CSR — does that mean Google can't see it?
Google sometimes renders JavaScript and indexes CSR content, but it's slow, inconsistent, and deprioritised. Server-rendered pages are indexed immediately. For reliable SEO you need SSR.
How does this checker work?
We fetch your URL with a Googlebot user agent — exactly like Google's crawler. We analyse the raw HTML for rendered content, SSR signals, meta tags, canonical tags, and structured data. No JavaScript is executed.
My site is on TanStack but still has a low SEO score — why?
TanStack means your HTML is crawlable — that's the foundation. A low score means you're missing elements like a meta description, canonical tag, or schema markup. LovableSEO adds these automatically.
