Frontend SEO that actually matters

What I actually check on Vue/Nuxt sites before launch: titles, canonicals, SSR content — and I skip the folklore.

Most “frontend SEO tips” are noise. Before launch I look at the boring stuff: unique title and description, a real H1, canonical, and content already in the first HTML — not only after hydration.

SSR or prerender is the difference between “maybe indexed” and “indexed”. Pretty meta on an empty shell doesn't help. Stuffing keywords into a hero doesn't either — search engines care about structure and usefulness, not slogan density.

Bilingual site? hreflang and locale-aware canonicals aren't optional. I wire them early so I'm not fixing crawl issues after marketing already shared the links.
