Does googlebot - Google's webcrawler - follow browser-side HTML imports such as the following?

<link rel="import" href="header.html">


I'm thinking of hosting web content on my web server that makes use of this directive which is in W3C draft. However, I'm worried all the text on my website won't be completely indexed by Google.

I'm guessing googlebot does index it because it's supported by Chrome and Android browsers, but does anyone know for certain?

You could always check what your site looks like to googlebot: support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6066468?rd=2 and to be sure look at the access logs of your server.

There doesn't seem to be any information on the engine used w/i googlebot but if it's Chrome 36+ it will work. Alternatively, you could use webcompontent.js Polyfills at webcomponents.org/polyfills/ which should work.
