Google has removed the "design for accessibility" section from within the Understand the JavaScript SEO basics documentation.
Google said this was removed because the information was "out of date and not as helpful as it used to be."
The old text advised that using JavaScript for page content "may be hard for Google to see," but Google now states this hasn't been true for many years.
While Google Search can handle JavaScript well, it's still important to double-check what Google Search sees using the URL inspection tool in Google Search Console.
