Why do many sites give the print version to the search engine?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

Many forums do this. What for? SEO boost or something else?

Answer 1

The main value of an information site or forum is texts and pictures, not html tags, css rules, javascript, etc. As a rule, in the print version, the amount of html, etc. is minimized. Accordingly, the page loading speed is higher, and the parsing time by the search engine is less, and these parameters are the criteria for the quality of the site from the point of view of the search engine, although, of course, they are far from the only ones.
So yes, "increase in seo"
