John Mueller from Google discussed the visibility of tabbed navigation and content for SEO. He clarified that while content loaded in the DOM could technically be indexed, it’s not ideal if it's not immediately visible to users, as this may lead to bounces. He advised using the Inspect URL tool in Search Console for validation and recommended implementing anchor links for separate URLs to facilitate crawling. Mueller emphasized the importance of user experience, suggesting that making vital information easy to access can reduce bounce rates.
Did you ever want to validate to see if Google or other search engines can see your tabbed (hidden in a tab) navigation or content? Well, John Mueller from Google listed some ideas on how to do so.
You can verify how Google sees the 'HTML' / DOM of a page by using the Inspect URL tool in Search Console. And for anything that loads with separate URLs, make sure to use a elements rather than just onclick handlers.
