That ship has long since sailed. We live in a world of web apps with dynamically created content, AJAX, and so on. The main entry point for the app has a URL, and then within the app all bets are off. Same with framesets.


SPAs were a low point, but I've found consistent and linkable URLs has gotten better with developers recognizing the importance due to "SEO".


Also crawlers can now evaluate SPAs. Googles crawlers will run JavaScript on the page making the SPA SEO issue much less of an issue now.

Idk if that counts as a low point or a high point.


There se excretes to this, particularly if you value speedy vs delayed updates to your indexing
