# What is the disadvantage of AJAX?

The disadvantages of AJAX are:\
\

- Search engines would not be able to index an AJAX application.
- The server information can not be accessed within AJAX.
- AJAX is not well integrated with any browser.
- ActiveX requests are enabled only in IE 5 and IE6
- Data of all requests is URL-encoded, which increases the size of the request.
