However, since the activity widget list area and new directory content is in Javascript (empty and unreadable by search engines), the member profiles, group pages, forum pages, and less importantly the activity item URL's, are very unlikely to get indexed in the current architecture as the crawler tries to find pages by following links off the home page. I'll try to look into fixes. Noscript tags are the best option I'm aware of currently, but require more data to be sent from the server. To make the home page activity widget have ""progressive enhancement"" of the AJAX functionality, the various sections would also need to trigger unique URL's, and have have noscript options that use links instead of nonce input AJAX (for people with Javascript disabled or search engines (who tend to ignore javascript content)). I'm not sure if this should be listed as a defect or enhancement. I'm guessing perhaps a defect given how seriously Wordpress takes SEO." defect (bug) closed major 1.2 fixed needs-feedback, needs-patch
