Nothing worked. Google seemed to completely ignore their site.
The Diagnosis: An Invisible Technical Problem
Our Technical Analysis
By auditing the ModaStyle site, we identified the main problem: **Webflow's JavaScript was preventing indexing**. Here's what we observed:
Google render test:
1. "URL Inspection" tool in Search Console
