Kenapa Developer Perlu Belajar SEO?
Banyak developer yang fokus banget sama code quality tapi lupa sama SEO. Padahal, project yang bagus tapi gak ada yang nemuin itu percuma. Dengan ngerti SEO, kita bisa:
- Portfolio website ranking tinggi di Google
- Side project dapat traffic organik
- Ngerti technical aspect yang bikin website SEO-friendly
- Tambah value sebagai full-stack developer
5 Area SEO yang Wajib Dikuasai Developer
1. Technical SEO Dasar
Yang harus dipelajari:
- Perbedaan SSR (Server-Side Rendering) vs CSR (Client-Side Rendering) untuk SEO
- Cara manage meta tags di React, Vue, Angular
- Generate XML sitemap otomatis
- Setup robots.txt yang benar
Contoh code:
// URL structure yang SEO-friendly
// Jangan kayak gini
/products?id=123&category=tech
// Lebih baik kayak gini
/products/tech/javascript-development

2. Performance Optimization
Critical metrics:
- Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS)
- Page loading speed
- Mobile responsiveness
- Time to Interactive
Tools yang berguna:
Install Lighthouse untuk audit
npm install -g lighthouse
lighthouse https://websitemu.com --view
text
3. Structured Data & Schema
Implement schema markup:
- Article schema untuk blog
- Product schema untuk e-commerce
- Local business schema untuk UMKM
- FAQ schema untuk content
**Contoh JSON-LD:**
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "Article",
"headline": "Judul Artikel",
"description": "Deskripsi artikel",
"author": {
"@type": "Person",
"name": "Nama Kamu"
}
}

4. SEO untuk Single Page Applications (SPA)
Problem khusus SPA:
- Dynamic title dan meta tags
- Social media sharing yang broken
- Googlebot crawling issues
- Route-based optimization
Solusi di React:
import { Helmet } from 'react-helmet';
function BlogPost({ post }) {
return (
<div>
<Helmet>
<title>{post.title} - Dev Blog</title>
<meta name="description" content={post.excerpt} />
<meta property="og:title" content={post.title} />
<meta property="og:description" content={post.excerpt} />
</Helmet>
text
<article>
<h1>{post.title}</h1>
<div>{post.content}</div>
</article>
</div>
);
}
text
5. Automation & Monitoring
Buat script otomatis:
- Auto-generate meta descriptions
- Monitor broken links
- Track keyword rankings
- Generate SEO reports
Python script example:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
def check_seo_elements(url):
response = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser')
text
# Cek title tag
title = soup.find('title')
title_length = len(title.text) if title else 0
# Cek meta description
meta_desc = soup.find('meta', attrs={'name': 'description'})
desc_length = len(meta_desc['content']) if meta_desc else 0
return {
'title_length': title_length,
'desc_length': desc_length,
'has_meta_desc': bool(meta_desc)
}
