Website performance plays a crucial role in the success of your business and day by day, web visitors are also becoming more demanding and less patient. If you have a DNN website, then the pages must load quickly and offer your visitors the correct information they are looking for or you risk losing them all. But the first thing to consider is the visibility of your site.
To rank higher in Google SERP, you need to improve a few things on your site for Google to consider and pass a higher ranking.
Here in this article, we will focus on some page-related factors to optimize the website so that you achieve a higher ranking in the major search engines and can drive more quality traffic to your site:
Page title and meta description: Search engines use several key fields in their ranking algorithms and the page tile and meta description help describe your page to the search engine. For your DNN website, the page description and tile are stored in the page settings. All you have to do is open the page settings for the current page and then edit it directly.
CSS navigation: This means using plain HTML to display the page and using CSS to lay out the menu instead of lots of scripts or any other trick. This helps make it very easy for search engine crawlers to index the site and then understand the structure of the site through the menu.
HTML and CSS menus are quick to parse and easy for search engine bots to understand. Evoq content has the ability to interchange components based on requirements. The standard menu system generates the menu based on CSS and users can choose between different types of menu to exchange on the site.
The structure of the URL: URLs are vital for SEO purpose and paying attention to them can generate ranking benefits for your DNN website. Choose the most suitable URL for your site and try to include a keyword as it makes ranking easier. Fortunately, DNN can remove duplicate content and it happens automatically. The system knows the correct URL for the page, and if you try to reach the page with another URL, it will redirect users to the correct canonical URL.
H Tags: DNN websites do not enforce any use of a specific H tag, so you can edit one in your content to your liking. You can define a custom mask for your DNN site that has H1 for a specific page. But it is important to make sure to define an H1 tag for each content written separately.
XML sitemap creation: An XML sitemap contains a list of all the pages available on the site that you would like a search engine to index. A search engine sitemap of your DNN site will provide a quick means for the search engine to read and understand the structure of the site.
This includes the attributes of the page that give the search engine information about the relative importance of the page and also the frequency of its update. This refers to how often pages are revisited for new content.
Creating an XML sitemap for your DNN website is easy and comes with a dynamic sitemap that is created by reading the current site structure.
