SEO & Search Ranking
Optimize your application's visibility on search engines. Cadrant generates applications with good SEO foundations, but a few adjustments can significantly improve your ranking.
SEO basics
- Use descriptive, unique page titles for each screen.
- Add descriptions (meta description) that summarize each page's content.
- Structure your content with hierarchical headings (H1, H2, H3).
- Use readable and descriptive URLs.
Open Graph and social media
Open Graph tags control how your site appears when shared on social media:
- Ask Cadrant to add Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image).
- Provide a share image (1200x630 pixels recommended) for an attractive preview.
- Test the share preview with tools like opengraph.xyz.
Performance
Loading speed is an important ranking factor:
- Cadrant applications are optimized for performance by default.
- Compress images before adding them to your application.
- Avoid loading heavy resources (videos, large files) on the homepage.
- Use a custom domain with SSL for better ranking.
To check your published application's SEO, use Google Lighthouse (built into Chrome DevTools) for a detailed report with recommendations.
