SEO Review

[kempsterrrr]

WIP TODOs:

• [x] add sitemap: next docs, video guide
• [ ] Only /, /tracks & /fundamentals are being indexed when crawled. all pages need to be indexed. I'm unsure what is causing this yet but am asking an SEO friend
• [ ] SEO title generation does not include the site name. For the Arweave 101 track page, the title in the Search results should be Arweave 101: Building Apps on Arweave | Developer DAO Academy whereas this version, it is Arweave 101: Building Apps on Arweave - | Developer DAO Academy is missing from the end. The inclusion of | Developer DAO Academy should be programmatic and added to all pages automatically.
• [ ] ensure URLs are using - "dashes" in between words not _ underscores, example for CLI Lesson using underscores - https://academy-t3-app-router.vercel.app/fundamentals/cli_lesson
• [ ] update favicon to use latest logo from the DD brand guide

questions:

1. Why are we rendering pages like tracks and fundamentals on the client? Could these be server-rendered or statically generated, as this would be helpful with SEO, Speed and indexing?

OK, it looks like the issue in the second point about pages being rendered is that we're rendering them on the client. The same issue is present on the production academy site. If we can solve that on this new version with SSG/SSR rendering those pages, that would be great for SEO/UX/Performance, etc.

Thanks kemps! 🙌

Thanks in advance!

I think this is working ok, tools seem to be recognising the sitemap however as the pages are rendered with JavaScript the tool isn't crawling them because I need the very expensive paid version to do that. I think this is fine to ship as is and will make a note to look into it later this week when I have a little more time to see if can figure it out.,

in case is not, can you please let me know which one?

these are the correct ones yes, although use the square logo for the favicon as they show as squares in the browser.
