Performance and SEO Considerations​

Performance Optimization Plan​

Image Optimization​

import Image from 'next/image';

export function OptimizedImage({ src, alt }) {
  return (
    <Image
      src={src}
      alt={alt}
      width={800}
      height={400}
      placeholder="blur"
      blurDataURL={`data:image/svg+xml;base64,...`}
    />
  );
}

Code Splitting​

// Dynamic component import
const CommentSection = dynamic(() => import('@/components/CommentSection'), {
  loading: () => <CommentSkeleton />,
  ssr: false
});

SEO Strategy​

Meta Tag Configuration​

// pages/_app.tsx
import { DefaultSeo } from 'next-seo';

const DEFAULT_SEO = {
  title: 'My Tech Blog',
  description: 'Sharing Web development, AI, and technology insights',
  openGraph: {
    type: 'website',
    locale: 'en_US',
    url: 'https://myblog.com',
    site_name: 'My Tech Blog'
  }
};

function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
  return (
    <>
      <DefaultSeo {...DEFAULT_SEO} />
      <Component {...pageProps} />
    </>
  );
}

Sitemap Generation​

// scripts/generate-sitemap.js
const { generateSitemap } = require('next-sitemap');

generateSitemap({
  baseUrl: 'https://myblog.com',
  sitemapSize: 7000,
  exclude: ['/api/*', '/admin/*'],
  generateRobotsTxt: true
});
