Static websites can be incredibly fast and SEO-friendly with a few essential building blocks:

  1. Sitemap and robots.txt to guide crawlers
  2. Canonical URLs to prevent duplicate content issues
  3. Structured data (JSON-LD) for rich results
  4. Open Graph and Twitter cards for social sharing
  5. Lighthouse performance optimizations (lazy loading, preloads, and minification)

We’ve implemented these foundations across our site and blog to ensure great crawlability and discoverability.
