Audit an Astro site's SEO with PageAudit

Put the title, description and canonical link in the layout, generate the sitemap with the official integration and audit the page.

Updated

1Write the layout

In src/layouts/Base.astro, each page passes its title and description. The canonical link uses the site from astro.config.mjs.

---
const { title, description } = Astro.props;
const canonical = new URL(Astro.url.pathname, Astro.site);
---
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>{title}</title>
    <meta name="description" content={description} />
    <link rel="canonical" href={canonical} />
  </head>
  <body><slot /></body>
</html>

2Generate the sitemap

Run npx astro add sitemap and check the site in astro.config.mjs. The integration writes /sitemap-index.xml; point to that address in public/robots.txt.

import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";
import sitemap from "@astrojs/sitemap";

export default defineConfig({ site: "https://example.com", integrations: [sitemap()] });
