It's pretty clear that he wants to see the SEO Score improved, from 58 to near 100.

Update: The score has improved to 70 (out of 100).

rookietect This score is not accurate. It counts of for not having https://www.discuss.flarum.org. It also counts off for the http:// -> https:// redirect.

Hi everyone

I've just done a quick on-page audit with ScanBacklinks https://scanbacklinks.com/seo-report
It says that the website is missing Robots.txt and sitemap.xml files and this could be the reason for low SEO Score.

If you want proper SEO, forget that useless online SEO audits. Most of SEO problems was already discussed on GitHub but none of them will be fixed soon.

To name some arround:

Slug traslitearion.
Redirections.
Duplicated metadescriptions.
Optimize internal links.
Optimize HTML headers.

And i'm sure that exists much more to fix but... surprisingly SEO is not a priority for developers. At the moment you can expect traffic loss and be uncompetitive in Google rankings.

I would love better SEO but I can understand why the core devs would focus on stability issues first.

But if you think it should have higher prio, feel free to submit a PR?

Zeokat

Sanguine I already did and was fully ignored ?

Zeokat Link?

Sanguine of course... https://github.com/flarum/core/pull/1183

That seems like a valuable addition to me! Why did you close it yourself? Reviewing PRs can take a lot of time, so I can imagine it could take a few weeks before someone could review or merge it.

Zeokat

Sanguine Because it was ignored and i need that functionality ready to use, so decided to add it at my forum. I can't maintain code on both places.

Anyway i'm writing an extension for that, only need to clear one point (@luceos already helped me at discord #extend) so i expect soon will be ready after some testing.

When I tried to check SEO friendliness using some tools, I have found the following suggestions from most of the tools:
1)CSS needs to be minified in some files.
2)Caching of data should be done.
3)** Add meta description.

can you please give a feature to add meta description to the threads as it's a big consideration.
