Summary

Social sharing

• Open Graph and Twitter card tags on every page, with 1200×630 share images: the post's hero image, or a new site-wide default (src/assets/og-default.svg is the source)
• article:published_time, article:modified_time and article:author on posts, plus og:site_name and og:locale

Structured data (JSON-LD)

• Organization (ProfessionalService) and WebSite on every page, Person for the founder
• BlogPosting on posts, Service on service pages, and BreadcrumbList on posts, services and case studies

Crawling and indexing

• robots.txt pointing to the sitemap
• noindex on the 404 page
• Sitemap lastmod from each post's updatedDate or pubDate
• Full post HTML in the RSS feed (content:encoded), plus categories and language
• PNG favicon, apple-touch-icon and a logo for the structured data

Performance

• Manrope is self-hosted and preloaded through Astro's fonts API, replacing the render-blocking Google Fonts stylesheet

Internal linking

• New optional tags and service front matter fields on posts
• A "Related posts" section ranked by shared tags, and a service link box at the end of posts that set service

Copy

• Clearer titles, descriptions and hero alt text on older posts, plus better meta descriptions for the home, about, contact, blog, work, services and how-we-work pages

Notes

• The new EKS posts from Add draft posts: private EKS day 2, Tailscale access, upgrades and audit findings #9 aren't tagged yet. Until they are, they only show up in other posts' related lists by recency.
• After deploying, submit the sitemap in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.

Testing

• npm run build passes with 0 errors and 0 warnings
• Checked the built HTML for meta tags, valid JSON-LD, 1200×630 share images, sitemap lastmod and RSS content
• Checked a post in the browser: the font loads from the site itself, and related posts and the service box render
