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 🙏

React SEO Tags

React SEO Tags helps you easily add SEO tags like title or meta (any tags can be added) to applications created with Create React App such that these elements appear in the Page Source.

This solution does not rely on SSR or snap and is easy to setup and use.

Setup

  • Run npm i react-seo-tags

  • Create a file in the same location as your package.json file with the following code

     {"pages": [{
       	"route": "route-name",
       	"head": "<title>Your Title</title> <meta name=\"description\" content=\"Your description\"></meta>"
               }]
     }

    and name it seo-config.json Make sure that the route-name in the JSON file is replaced with your actual routes, you can add more routes and tags to the pages array. A folder will be generated in the build folder of your project for each route mentioned.

  • Create a file in the same location as your package.json file and name it react-seo-tags.js (you can use your own names - just make sure to substitute your name in all the areas referring the file) and add the following code

    const createTags = require('react-seo-tags');
    const path = require('path');
    const seoMeta = require(path.join(__dirname, '.','seo-config.json'));
    createTags(seoMeta,__dirname,'index');
  • Modify your package.json file and add the following postbuild script as shown

     "postbuild": "node react-seo-tags.js"

    Example -

    "scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "test": "react-scripts test",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject",
    "postbuild": "node react-seo-tags.js"
     }

    You can also use it with other scripts or run it directly from the terminal using node react-seo-tags.js , just make sure you have your build folder already generated before you run the command.

  • Modify your routing on the server to route requests to the folders generated by React SEO Tags for the routes mentioned in the JSON file, the logic should be

    If folder exists go to folder else go to index.html

    Example .htaccess file for Apache -

    RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
    Options -MultiViews
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}/index.html [QSA,R=301,P]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.html [QSA,L]

Support

Please note that this package should not be used in combination with React Helmet, although there is no problem in using React Helmet with this package - the tags generated by React Helmet will only load after the tags mentioned in seo-config.
