Google's decision to mandate JavaScript is intended to protect Google Search from bots and spam while improving user experience, but it raises accessibility concerns for some users.
Data from a 2020 GitHub survey revealed that 95% of websites use JavaScript, which positions it as a crucial tool in web development but raises potential accessibility issues.
Despite JavaScript being commonly used, Google's spokesperson highlighted that around 0.1% of searches occur without JavaScript, which translates to millions of users who may face challenges.
The push for JavaScript may stem from Google's efforts to limit the functionality of external rank-checking tools that analyze search engine trends and performance.
