Looks like that feed hasn't been updated in (almost exactly) a year. The four most recent blog posts are missing.

Fixed the RSS feed (and sitemap as well since both were not updated) Those scripts were silently skipped since January

Apologies for the inconvenience, it should be updated now!

- Make sure you either never have trailing slash or always have trailing slash (make sure you have canonical pages and redirects as little as possible)

- Have canonical pages

- Don't trust code you haven't read/don't understand

- Make sure you view changes you make and that they are actually made when you think they are

- Make sure what you want to be rendered on the page is actually rendered

- Write tests

Seems like a bunch of tips for people who are just starting out with web development, to not miss the most obvious problems. How this post is currently on the top of the front page will forever be a question for me. I'm glad more people are discovering SEO and it's importance, but this guide is specifically for one technology and are general tips about development rather than SEO really.

My only feeedback is go for nextjs, at least trailingSlash is solved for you by default so you don't screw up https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/next.config.js/trailin...

OP/Author here, yes looking into NextJS to migrate my blog over. I loved Gatsby at the beginning, but it's very time consuming to maintain on the long run, especially with all the plugins (I started removing those and rewriting some of them)

Hitting the Escape key on this site toggles the scroll bar and prevents the page from scrolling. Why is that a good idea?

I was very close to assuming the site is broken and leaving, until I figured out how to re-enable scrolling.

Hey OP/Author here, I just fixed this! I recently added some shortcuts, like a week or so ago, and this one went under the radar. Apologies for the inconvenience, and moreover, thank you for your comment without it I wouldn't have noticed

LOL, on the latest iphone the website is blank!

MaximeHeckel · 5 years ago

Hey OP/author here, can you tell me a bit more about the issue? I've asked around and it seemed to work as expected on mobile. Would love to know more about what happened in your case

This site is basically just a mashed potato of content without js.

Anyone care to do a summary? It seems quite interesting.

MaximeHeckel · 5 years ago

Yes, sites require a bit of JS (added some client side feature recently). Hope the summary other commenter gave you helped

From the WhatCMS, author uses Gatsby, assume no trace of Prismjs is used.

MaximeHeckel · 5 years ago

Hey, OP/author here, I do use prismJS under the hood, a flavor of it: prism-react-renderer, so it might indeed remove the traces of Prism.

Agree that it's a mess of div and spans, but it does the job.
