# How can you determine whether important content is available in rendered HTML?

> Compare:

**View-source / raw response**

with

**rendered DOM**

and then validate with Search Console URL Inspection.

If the important content exists only after JavaScript, that is not automatically a problem. The question is whether Google can reliably render and process it.

Also test representative templates rather than only one page.

For an e-commerce site, test:

- product;

- category;

- filtered category;

- search;

- out-of-stock product;

- discontinued product.

Google specifically recommends URL Inspection for checking how Google sees rendered pages.
