Isn't that the case for any webpage generated entirely through JavaScript? (whether that JS has been hand-written, generated from Java code through GWT, or from CoffeeScript, TypeScript, Scala, Closure, you name it) (and specifically, this applies to AngularJS too, as we're in a "GWT vs AngularJS" thread) > If GWT would be able to generate the plain HTML it would beat any pure JS > library > Something like http://dev.arcbees.com/gwtp/advanced/crawler-support.html ? (which I don't think is limited to applications using GWTP btw) See also https://prerender.io/ (independent from the client-side technology, whether GWT, AngularJS, etc.) But as Vassilis said, Google and Bing execute JS (to some extent) so at least there you're covered without additional work.
