5 more, to tidy up after 100
  1. 7

    Make near-copy pages distinct

    Under a point

    Rewrite or merge pages that share most of their text. A page that only swaps a city or product name is what search engines treat as doorway or scaled content.

    Once, for the whole site

  2. 8

    Speed up the server

    Under a point

    Cache pages or speed up the server. Crawlers give a slow site fewer visits.

    Once, for the whole site

  3. 9

    Add an llms.txt

    Under a point

    Add /llms.txt: a short plain text map of the site for assistants. Its effect is unproven, so treat it as cheap insurance.

    Once, for the whole site

  4. 10

    Fix title lengths

    Under a point

    Write a title of 15 to 65 characters that leads with what the page covers.
