Wordpond comes with several features out of the box that help improve your publication's SEO.
These include:
AI-assisted SEO
Adding tags to images and meta-titles to articles can take time and effort.
Wordpond leverages AI-assisted systems to automatically fill out these SEO items based on the content of your articles and images.
You can see these tags and slugs in the article and the image settings. The descriptions are generated when publishing the article.
If desired, you can still manually override this AI-generated information in the article and image settings.
XML sitemaps
Wordpond automatically creates and updates an XML sitemap for your publication to help search engines understand the structure of your publication and find all of its content.
Canonical tags
Wordpond adds canonical tags across your publication to tell search engines which version of a page they should consider the 'official' one, which helps prevent issues with duplicate content.
Structured data
Wordpond automatically includes structured data in all your articles, covers, and archive pages. Structured data helps search engines understand the content and context of your articles, which can improve how your articles appear in search results.
For example, This structured data (H1, H2, etc.) is automatically added to the code when you add this title style to your content.
Social media integration
Wordpond automatically adds social media metadata to your publication, including Open Graph metadata and Twitter Cards.
Image optimization
Wordpond automatically converts all images to a WebP format, which Google prefers. Additionally, we format images appropriately based on the user's device.
Font optimization
If you add custom fonts, we offer automatic web font optimization, eliminating extraneous data fetching and ensuring your font loads on time.
Advanced rendering
Wordpond uses Incremental Static Regeneration, which offers both speed and SEO advantages. Search engines index websites based on their source code, with client-side JavaScript taking longer.
Pre-rendering sites statically or on the server is best for SEO but has drawbacks: Static Site Generation (SSG) can be slow to build, and Server-side Rendering (SSR) can slow initial page loads without proper caching.
Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) pre-renders your content but only updates specific articles and sections of articles when updated. This approach combines benefits, allowing dynamic updates without redeployment, maintaining speed, and SEO advantages.
Site performance
A state-of-the-art technology stack powers Wordpond and has clean code and semantic markup.
Adding more fonts, animations, and media will impact your SEO score, but your pages will still feel lightning-fast.
