URLs to open

/en/en/search/en/search/music/en/search?category=music&city=london/en/search?q=jazz/en/events/london-music-night/sitemap.xml/robots.txt
check

DevTools: title, description, canonical, hreflang

Open the page source first, then compare the same tags in browser DevTools.

  • Find the title generated by Metadata API.
  • Find meta description in the server HTML.
  • Find rel=canonical for the current URL.
  • Find hreflang links for en and ru.

View Source vs hydrated DOM

View Source shows HTML returned by the server. Elements shows DOM after the browser and hydration have run.

  • Use View Source for the first SEO baseline check.
  • Use Elements to confirm the browser did not hide or replace important content.
  • Compare page h1 with metadata title.
check

Search landing page

Search pages should have URL-specific metadata and a clean canonical URL.

  • /en/search/music: title, description, canonical, hreflang en/ru.
  • /en/search?category=music&city=london: canonical should point to /en/search/music/london.
  • /en/search?q=jazz: q should stay in canonical.
  • Check h1, event list and pagination when pagination appears.
check

Event detail page

Event detail metadata should come from event data, not from generic page copy.

  • /en/events/london-music-night: title from event data.
  • Description from event data.
  • Open Graph image and Twitter card.
  • Canonical and hreflang en/ru.
check

Sitemap and robots

Sitemap and robots are site-level SEO routes generated by MetadataRoute.

  • /sitemap.xml contains /en, /ru and product search pages.
  • /sitemap.xml contains /en/search/music, /en/search/sports, /en/search/arts and /en/search/film.
  • /sitemap.xml contains /en/events/london-music-night.
  • /sitemap.xml does not contain /en/demo.
  • /robots.txt in dev mode contains Disallow: / and Sitemap: http://localhost:3000/sitemap.xml.
  • SITE_ENV=production switches robots to Allow: /.

Final checklist

The module 5 baseline is complete when page-level metadata and site-level routes agree.

  • Home, search and detail pages render server HTML.
  • Title template adds EventMap where page metadata provides a title.
  • Canonical points to the clean URL.
  • hreflang links connect /en and /ru.
  • Sitemap contains product URLs only.
  • Robots policy matches the current environment.
