| Summary | 0003020: Major SEO issues | ||||
| Description | https://www.google.com/search?safe=off&q=+site:lovinity.org+lovinity+community&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiMmMCluLPRAhVQxGMKHYXuCK0QrAMIJg&biw=1600&bih=775 I'm finding a lot of SEO related issues on Composr 10 RC28. As you can see, search engines are not getting the correct page title and description for the page they hit. The same thing sometimes happens for embedding services. And I also noticed this affects page titles in the detailed list of who's online user activity. | ||||

Could be a Cloudflare or NGINX issue as well. So I'm investigating myself. |

From a quick review, none of these pages have meta descriptions configured: https://lovinity.org/start.htm https://journal.lovinity.org/catalogues/entry/website-functionality/what-features-does-the.htm https://journal.lovinity.org/catalogues/entry/rules-and-policies/do-i-own-the-content-i.htm Google is particularly likely to ignore meta descriptions that are shared across many pages. This said, I noticed a bug breaking automatic meta description generation, and that we weren't doing it for catalogue entries. So, fix your existing content, and I'll make sure it works better in the next RC. Google should be smarter though. It's generating a snippet from a role="note" section, which it should know not to. |

|
Forum topics also do not generate meta descriptions like they should, I noticed. |
|
|
Forum topics don't support the explicit metadata, as nobody will enter/maintain it. However, I agree we need to do better. From the next RC it will dynamically take the first 160 characters of the first post's plain-text, and use that. |
