Introduction
Next.js is one of the best frameworks for SEO-friendly web development. With Server-Side Rendering, static generation, and the new Metadata API, you have everything you need to rank.
The Metadata API
Next.js 13+ provides a type-safe Metadata API. Export a metadata object or generateMetadata function from any page to set title, description, and more.
Structured Data (JSON-LD)
Add JSON-LD structured data to help search engines understand your content. Use the Article, Product, and BreadcrumbList schemas.
Core Web Vitals
Focus on LCP (use priority images), FID/INP (minimize main thread blocking), and CLS (set explicit dimensions on images/videos).
Sitemaps & robots.txt
Use Next.js's built-in sitemap.ts and robots.ts file conventions to automatically generate these files.
