A simple server to provide rendered html to crawlers, for ajax sites.

• Google ajax crawling standard.
• PhantomJS 2.0

1. Install PhantomJS, on Mac, you can: $ brew install phantomjs

   $ sudo apt-get install phantomjs  
   

2. Start SEO Server

   $ phantomjs seo.js
   

3. Setup nginx, add codes below into site configuration:

   if ($args ~ _escaped_fragment_) {
     rewrite ^ /snapshot$uri;
   }
   
   location ~ ^/snapshot(.*) {
     rewrite ^/snapshot(.*)$ $1 break;
     proxy_pass http://localhost:8888;
     proxy_set_header Host $scheme://$host;
     proxy_connect_timeout 60s;
   }
   
   

$ curl http://yoursite.domain/page#!/id/12
$ ## verify it's fully rendered HTML

$ ## if your app is running at http://localhost:3000
$ curl http://localhost:8888/page#!/id/12 --header Host:localhost:3000
$ ## verify it's fully rendered HTML

For index page of your site, you need to add this in HTML if you haven't:

<meta name="fragment" content="!" />

if you have trouble for https URLs, try this:

$ # phantomjs --ssl-protocol=any seo.js
