Social cards and SEO basics
Canonical URLs, Open Graph/Twitter metadata, sitemap.xml, and robots.txt are now built in.
GoBlogger now includes a basic SEO and social preview package out of the box.
What's included
- canonical URL in the page
<head> - Open Graph tags (
og:title,og:description,og:type,og:url) - Twitter card tags (
twitter:card,twitter:title,twitter:description) sitemap.xmlrobots.txtwith a sitemap pointer
Why the Site URL setting matters
Set your Public site URL in admin settings (or BLOG_SITE_URL) to ensure generated links use your real domain.
This value is used for:
- canonical URLs
- Open Graph/Twitter preview URLs
- absolute URLs in
sitemap.xml - sitemap reference in
robots.txt
Example:
BLOG_SITE_URL=https://example.com
If no site URL is configured, GoBlogger falls back to the current request host.
Optional social image
You can set a default social image (BLOG_SOCIAL_IMAGE) as either:
- an absolute URL, or
- a root-relative path like
/assets/social-card.png
When set, it is added as og:image and twitter:image.
