Meta Description Updated by JavaScript

What This Means

Pages that have meta descriptions that are modified by JavaScript. This means the meta description in the raw HTML is different to the meta description in the rendered HTML.

What Triggers This Issue

This issue is triggered when the meta description in the raw HTML of a webpage is modified by JavaScript, resulting in a different meta description in the rendered HTML. For example:

https://www.getasky.com/technical-seo/ Has the meta description:

<meta name="description" content="We're the best at technical SEO!" /> In the raw HTML, but this is changed to: 
<meta name="description" content="We're pretty good at technical SEO!" /> After JavaScript is executed.

How To Fix

While Google is able to render pages and see client-side only content, consider including important content server side in the raw HTML.
