The SEO checklist this starter already passes
2026-05-12 · 1 min read
Most AI tool sites lose ranking not because the tool is bad, but because day-one SEO is sloppy. Here is the list we ship green:
- Canonical on every page, locale-aware.
- hreflang alternates for every non-default locale, plus
x-default. /sitemap.xmlgenerated dynamically; lists every locale × route./robots.txtdisallows/api/and/admin/.- JSON-LD:
SoftwareApplicationandFAQPageon each tool page;BreadcrumbListeverywhere. - OG image generated at the edge from
siteConfig. - Mobile Lighthouse ≥ 80 out of the box (we use Tailwind 4 + RSC, no client framework on marketing pages).
If you fork this and your site does not pass these checks on the first deploy, open an issue.
