What are the disadvantages of using AJAX techniques? In practice, AJAX applications are subject to the effects of latency, often leading to baffling delays for the end-user.

AJAX is not well integrated with any browsers; so again, users may experience unexplained effects, such as failure of the back button, incapacity to bookmark pages. Search engines may not see the content, which can have severe effects on a company’s page ranking.

Accessibility requirements may be contravened, so a site may have to provide a non-AJAX version for users of non-compliant browsers.
