Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

gatsby-plugin-react-head

Provides drop-in support for server rendering data added with React Head.

React Head is a component which lets you control your document head using their React component.

With this plugin, attributes you add in their component, e.g. title, meta attributes, etc. will get added to the static HTML pages Gatsby builds.

This is important not just for site viewers, but also for SEO -- title and description metadata stored in the document head is a key component used by Google in determining placement in search results.

Why no react-helmet?

Size comparison:

| Package | Size | | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | react-helmet | bundlephobia | | react-head | bundlephobia |

React Helmet is great and has more features than React Head, but sometimes you want less than more.

Install

npm i gatsby-plugin-react-head react-head

or

yarn add gatsby-plugin-react-head react-head

How to use

Add the plugin to the plugins array in your gatsby-config.js

plugins: [`gatsby-plugin-react-head`];

You don't have to do anything else. Render one of head tag components whenever you want to inject a tag in the <head />.

import React from "react";
import { Title, Link, Meta } from "react-head";

const Seo = () => (
  <>
    <Title>Hello world!</Title>
    <Meta name="description" content="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet." />
    <Link rel="canonical" content="https://bejamas.io/" />
  </>
);
