Sometimes I think the SEO thing is a bit or a red herring though. I think SPAs are a good fit for web *applications* not web *pages* necessarily. Even a public facing web application itself isn't something that typically must appear in a search engine, I see it as what the name implies, an application that is used over the web as opposed to some information portal that people would search for. With web pages, on the other hand, you mostly do want to have them appear in searches and SEO is important. That said, Angular (being a product of Google) does have to SEO features, such as Angular Universal, which allows the prerendering of pages.
If I had a public facing web app I'd probably have a web page to publicise it, like a shop window, and a click through to the app itself on a different domain, which I'm pretty sure is what many do anyway.
Tim.

I've done of lot of them with
CGIDEV2 and eRPG SDK for customers as well. I also heavily use SSIs.
They're (SPAs) great for internal things, but as I found out a bear for
public facing websites and SEO. But I found a way around that for the most
part.

Adding to what Tim said about single page apps. The entry point of the
application might be a very small static HTML skeleton. Add to that page a
reference to a JavaScript framework that transforms it into something
meaningful by having the browser merge skeleton HTML with JSON at runtime,
which might be requested asynchronously from the server. For example:
https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Frd.radile.com%2Frdweb%2Fphones%2Fphonelist.html%23phones&data=02%7C01%7C%7C7282502d836b49ab764708d800c3735e%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637260186733357645&sdata=Sy%2FyJs7DWV7BL5nj%2BOgD%2BeWjahyYaSwxpD5QhZxoa%2BU%3D&reserved=0
The page alternates between list and detail content by clicking a hyperlink
or the browser back button.
You don't need PHP or any other web-service layer to get an app like that
working. The page might simply reference static JSON or XML, comparable to
the sample shared in the original post.
After you get the app doing what you want, you can change references from
static JSON or XML, to a request that interfaces with a web service (and a
database).
By the way, Tim. How do you use single page apps in business contexts?
Nathan.
