SEO (Frontend best practices part II)

You can find the first part of this article in here Frontend best practices (part I)

Search Engine Optimization aka SEO as mentioned by Google is " the practice of increasing the quantity and quality of traffic to your website through organic search engine results"

Here are the most important rules to follow to improve your website traffic:

  • Make sure you have a title tag per page
  • Make sure you have meta-description per page and do not use quotes or any non-alpha characters
  • Exactly one <h1> tag per page
  • Make sure every image have alt tag( use dashes (-) and do not use non-alpha characters)
  • Use internal linking like breadcrumbs
  • Choose a good URL structure (short, meaningful and without stop words like "the" "a" )
  • Use more backlinks
  • Improve page performance (exp: use lazy loading for pictures, consider the best image format ...)
  • Mobile friendly pages
  • Consider the website architecture
