Google appears to have removed a section about accessibility from its JavaScript SEO documentation, raising questions about the focus of the guidance.
Google appears to have quietly removed the “design for accessibility” reference from the JavaScript SEO basics documentation, a change first noticed and reported by Search Engine Land. The removed section previously highlighted accessibility considerations when building JavaScript powered websites. According to the report, the note was removed because the guidance was considered outdated as Google’s rendering capabilities for JavaScript have improved significantly over the years. While the documentation change may reflect technical progress in how Google processes modern websites, accessibility itself remains an important aspect of web development and user experience. Inclusive design practices still play a key role in usability, site quality and broader trust signals that can influence how content is perceived by users and search engines.
