SEO Remaining Tasks

This document contains a list of all SEO issues identified in the Ahrefs and Seobility reports that still need to be addressed in the codebase.

1. Content & Metadata Issues

• Fix Missing H1 Tags on Core Pages

  • Affected Pages: /, /pricing, /login, /signup, /faq, /privacy, /newsletter, /create.
  • Issue: These pages are Client Side Rendered (CSR) or lack a server-side <h1> tag in the initial HTML payload.
  • Action: Add an <h1> (visible or sr-only) to the Server Component or ensure the Client Component renders it immediately.

• Fix Low Word Count / Thin Content

  • Affected Pages: /, /pricing, /login, /signup, /faq, /privacy.
  • Issue: Crawlers see 0 words on these pages because the content is rendered via JavaScript (use client).
  • Action: Implement Server Side Rendering (SSR) for the main content or add sr-only semantic fallbacks for crawlers.

• Expand Meta Descriptions

  • Affected Pages: /, /pricing, /login, /signup, /newsletter, /privacy, /faq, /qr-code-erstellen, Blog entries.
  • Issue: Meta descriptions are too short (< 80 characters) or duplicates.
  • Action: Update generateMetadata in page.tsx files to have descriptions between 110-160 characters.

• Fix Page Titles

  • Affected Pages: /qr-code-erstellen, Blog posts.
  • Issue: Titles are too long (> 60-70 characters) or have keyword stuffing/repetition.
  • Action: Shorten titles to be concise and click-worthy, avoiding simple concatenation of keywords.

• Fix Duplicate Content & Titles

  • Affected Pages: /pricing, /newsletter, /login, /signup.
  • Issue: These pages likely share the same metadata or layout without unique content in the crawler's eyes.
  • Action: Ensure each page has unique title and description in generateMetadata.

2. Technical SEO

• Fix 307 Redirects to 301

  • Issue: Blog posts and legacy URLs are redirecting with status 307 (Temporary) instead of 301 (Permanent).
  • Affected Paths:
    • /blog/vcard-qr-code-generator -> /create
    • /blog/qr-code-restaurant-menu -> /dynamic-qr-code-generator
    • /blog/bulk-qr-code-generator -> /bulk-qr-code-generator
  • Action: Locate these redirects (likely in next.config.js or middleware.ts or component logic) and change status to 301.

• Fix Indexing of Protected/Private Pages

  • Issue: Ahrefs is flagging /pricing as "Indexable" but likely encountering issues. Verify if /pricing should be indexed.
  • Action: Ensure public pages like Pricing are NOT in (app) group which has noindex in layout, or override the robots meta in pricing/page.tsx.

• Fix "No Outgoing Links"

  • Issue: Crawlers see pages as dead ends because links are injected via JS.
  • Action: Ensure standard <a> or Link tags are present in the initial HTML.

3. Link Profile

• Improve Internal Link Texts

  • Issue: "Click here" or full URL used as anchor text.
  • Action: Use descriptive keywords for links (e.g., "See our pricing" instead of "Click here").

• Fix Alternate Links (hreflang)

  • Issue: Mismatch in hreflang or missing self-referencing canonicals.
  • Action: Verify alternates configuration in layout.tsx or page.tsx matches the actual URL structure.

4. Performance & Images

• Optimize Large Images

  • Files: /blog/1-boy.png, /blog/2-body.png (~4MB each).
  • Action: Convert to WebP/AVIF and resize to < 500KB.

• Improve Page Speed

  • Issue: Response time for /qr-code-erstellen is slow.
  • Action: Check for expensive server-side operations or optimize database queries.
