SEO Optimization
Let's explore three important factors to make your web page faster and more user and search engine friendly.
If you need to optimize for SEO, make sure to understand the following:
1. Only One h1
Tag per Web Page
Just like there is only one title for a book, each web page should have only one h1
tag.
<h1>Web Page Title</h1>
2. alt
Tag for img
is Essential
The alt
attribute serves as alternative text when an image cannot be displayed. Search engines check for alternative text in images to understand their content.
<img src="https://picsum.photos/200/300" alt="Random Image" />
3. Include Social Media Links
Search engines assess the credibility of a web page through links to social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook.
4. Use Semantic Tags
Utilize semantic tags such as nav
, header
, footer
, section
, main
to clearly convey the layout and content of the webpage to search engines.
5. Backlinks
When other websites link to your site, these links are known as backlinks. Backlinks are one of the most significant indicators of a website's popularity and authority.
However, creating low-quality or artificial backlinks can negatively impact the reputation of your website.
