Do you know the impact each field, you presented, has to the page search engine ranking?

Beo

the question was about Page ranking... the 5 fields. whats the share of impact each field has?

Tomasz Sobczyk

Page title and description are super important since its not only used for ranking but then these are the things consumers see on The search result list. Poor title and descriptions have a large impact on seo, for sure larger than stuff like H1

Damian

Most impact, top down, according to documentation and analyzation of search engines. 1.Page Authority 2.Content Quality 3.User Experience

Tomasz Sobczyk

Is there a reason why you would for things like title and description etc simply generate them during page publishing? (no need for extra storage etc you just need to send the content as context to llm and get result back)

Damian

Because this is a background service and not an ad-hoc service. For ad-hoc service your proposal makes sense.

What are the main issues you notice on the sites that negatively impact SEO and can be easily fixed?

Damian

- Broken backlinks - Broken Internal Links - JSON LD errors - Canonical and Sitemap URL mismatches

EDS is client side rendered? Any drawback Vs a server side rendering approach for the mentioned SEO topics?

Damian

All SEO relevant content like title, description, h1, canonical etc, are all rendered server side in EDS per default (in the boilerplate).

Remo Liechti

for SEO optimization, what is the best http code to use for redirects, and what does EDS use? 301, 302, 307, 308

Damian

EDS uses 301, for permanent redirects. Because it keeps the page authority score.
