Technical SEO FAQ · JavaScript SEO & Rendering
How would you audit a React, Next.js, Vue or Angular website for SEO?
Audit the implementation, not the framework name.
Check:
- Rendering architecture.
- Raw HTML.
- Rendered DOM.
- URL routing.
- HTTP status codes.
- canonical.
- robots directives.
- internal links.
- structured data.
- hydration/runtime errors.
- API dependencies.
- XML sitemaps.
- representative templates.
Test multiple page types, not just the homepage.
For Next.js or similar frameworks, determine which routes are statically generated, server-rendered, dynamically rendered or client-only.
