Final optimization: Production-ready SEO with server-side Schema.org
Critical Improvements:
- Move all Schema.org generation to server-side (build time)
- Add dynamic dates to TechArticle schema (publishedDate, lastUpdated)
- Implement stripHtml in FAQPage schema for clean text
- Single source of truth: faqEntries in frontmatter
Schema.org Components (Production Ready):
- TechArticleJSONLD: Now accepts publishedDate and lastUpdated props
- FAQPageJSONLD: Server-side only, strips HTML tags for clean schema
- Both components render at build time, guaranteed to be crawled
SEO Benefits:
- Search engines see structured data immediately (no JS execution needed)
- Rich snippets for FAQ in Google search results
- TechArticle schema improves technical content ranking
- Dates provide freshness signals to search engines
Content Updates:
- Add 'Key Takeaways' to sidebar navigation
- Simplify FAQ answers for better readability
- Add id='key-takeaways' for anchor navigation
- Optimize faqEntries text for Schema.org compliance
Testing:
- All linter checks passed
- No JavaScript required for Schema.org data
- FAQ HTML and JSON-LD generated from same data source
