           Summary: Google's Webcache version of the website does not work
           Product: lab
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All

  Target Milestone: ---

Google's Webcache version of the website does not save or dynamically load the
tables from Javascript.

For example:
https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:AToLV55T2rcJ:https://lab.dpdk.org/results/dashboard/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

This is because the CORS header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' is missing from
the server response.

A solution is to add the header with either a wildcard (*) or a list of allowed
sites.

Since the result of the fetch contains different information when logged in, I
don't think it's a good idea to use a wildcard (I'm not sure of the security
implications, if any).

A list of sites may be okay, but is there a specific list of trusted sites?

Another option could be to detect the bot server-side and fully return a
rendered page. (This could also add another benefit to CLI users, where a fully
rendered page is returned, but odds are, you'd probably want to use the REST
API.)
