Fixing Angular SSR Problems: The Reason Meta Tags Are Not Shown in Page Source
Better search engine indexing depends on ensuring that SEO is implemented correctly in Angular SSR. Many developers encounter the problem with meta tags, such as canonical URLs and description, showing up in the inspector but not in the page source. After hydration, Angular updates these items client-side, which is why this happens. To resolve this, techniques such as TransferState, Express.js server-side modifications, and structured data injection can be implemented. These approaches ensure that metadata is rendered on the server, allowing search engines to correctly index dynamic content and improve page rankings.
