I ran this in CLIne for this site and I honestly think it may have helped. I don't know. I don't really care anymore. All I know is that it did not break it.

Core Objectives Add and refine SEO metadata for every page and post. Improve semantic HTML and add structured data (JSON-LD). Optimize images, fonts, performance & Core Web Vitals. Generate and configure sitemap and robots.txt. Ensure clean URLs, canonical tags, no duplicate content. Verify improvements via logs, Lighthouse, and automated checks. Review /pages or /app directory structure. Detect if using Pages Router or App Router. Identify blog post generation (Markdown, MDX, CMS, etc.). Create a TODO.md or SEO_IMPROVEMENT_LOG.md to track progress. Metadata System Implementation For Pages Router: Add/import <Head> from next/head in all pages. For App Router (Next.js 13+): Use export const metadata = {} or generateMetadata() for dynamic pages. Each page must include: Title (≤ 60 characters, keyword-focused). Meta description (≤ 160 characters, compelling). Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url). Twitter Card tags. <link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/...">. For dynamic routes ([slug].tsx), generate metadata from post content. 3. Semantic HTML + Structured Data (JSON-LD) Replace generic <div>s with semantic elements: <article>, <header>, <nav>, <main>, <footer>, <section>. Add JSON-LD using <script type="application/ld+json"> for: Blog posts → "@type": "Article" Homepage → "@type": "WebSite" About page → "@type": "Person" or "Organization" Validate structured data using https://search.google.com/test/rich-results. 4. Image & Media Optimization Replace all <img> with Next.js <Image />. Ensure: alt text is descriptive & keyword-relevant. Images are automatically responsive and lazy-loaded. Prefer modern formats like WebP. 5. Performance / Core Web Vitals Enhancements Use next/font instead of external CSS font imports. Audit third-party scripts; load via <Script strategy="lazyOnload" /> or afterInteractive. Remove render-blocking scripts/styles. Enable Static Site Generation wherever possible. Use dynamic(() => import(...), { ssr: false }) where interactive-only. 6. Sitemaps, robots.txt, and Crawl Control Install and configure next-sitemap. Generate sitemap.xml and robots.txt automatically. Add canonical base URL in config. Add noindex to pages like /admin, /dashboard, /drafts. 7. Clean URLs & Avoid Duplicate Content Ensure URL structure is lowercase, hyphen-separated (/blog/my-post-title). Add 301 redirect from http → https, and non-www → www or vice versa. Use canonical tags for paginated or duplicate content. If pagination exists, add rel="next" and rel="prev". 8. Monitoring & Validation Add commands to run Lighthouse and output reports to /seo-reports. Validate metadata output by crawling the site locally. Fix 404 errors, broken links, missing alt text, wrong status codes. Log all SEO changes in SEO_IMPROVEMENT_LOG.md. Be isolated to one logical SEO change. Final Requirement When SEO optimization is complete: Provide a summary of changes. Provide a checklist of unresolved items. Do NOT break any existing functionality or styling. Ensure site builds and deploys successfully.
