Critical content exists in source HTML or becomes observable after rendering.

Expectations and evidence

Required inputs (protocol identifiers)

html, render, intent

When it applies

Templates whose critical elements are listed.

How to check

List critical elements, then compare source HTML and rendered DOM under declared conditions. Optional Google inspection is a separate additional observation.

Expectation

Every critical element is observed at the declared source or rendered stage; engine, version and conditions are retained; no equivalence with Google is inferred.

Evidence to retain

Title, content, links, canonical and structured data present at the right stage.

Non-applicability

No relevant HTML document in scope.

Limitations

A local browser does not reproduce Google’s rendering exactly.

Outcome clarification

C requires all expectations across the declared scope. NC requires evidenced contradiction; otherwise NT. NA requires evidence of non-applicability.

Reference scope

Technical reference; the TSEP acceptance rule remains an editorial proposal.
