Why learn SEO coding?

Because treating SEO as code makes it repeatable and testable. You’ll see how semantic HTML, metadata, and JSON-LD combine to help search engines understand your content and how users experience it.

1) Semantic HTML & on-page basics

• Use one <h1> per page, nested <h2>/<h3> for sections.
• Write a human-first title and meta description.
• Describe media with alt text and captions.
• Build internal links with helpful, descriptive anchors.

2) Robots & Sitemaps (technical foundation)

# robots.txt (place at: https://empiricalten.blogspot.com/robots.txt)
User-agent: *
Disallow: /search
Allow: /

Sitemap: https://empiricalten.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml

3) Structured data (JSON-LD)

Add JSON-LD for Article, Breadcrumb, FAQ. Validate with Google’s Rich Results Test.

4) Social previews (Open Graph / Twitter)

Ensure share cards look trustworthy. Keep titles concise, include brand and a crisp description.

5) Performance & UX

• Compress/resize images, loading="lazy", and keep CSS/JS tiny.
• Run PageSpeed Insights and Lighthouse regularly; fix CWV issues (LCP/INP/CLS).

Publish checklist (quick)

1. Meaningful title + meta description.
2. Headings structured, internal links added.
3. Article + Breadcrumb + FAQ JSON-LD valid (no errors/warnings).
4. OG/Twitter image present (1200×630 or similar).
5. PSI score monitored; fix any Core Web Vitals regressions.

FAQ (with FAQPage schema)

Do I need both robots.txt and noindex?

Use robots.txt to manage crawling; use noindex (via meta or HTTP header) to control indexing. They solve different problems.

Which schema should a blog use: Article or BlogPosting?

BlogPosting is a subtype of Article; either works for many blogs. Keep markup accurate and consistent.

How often should I re-run performance audits?

On each significant update and at least monthly, to catch regressions from images, scripts, or layout changes.
