Constitution Integration

Before performing SEO analysis, check for project constitutions in .frontend-dev/:

Loading Constitutions

// Check for project configuration
const configPath = '.frontend-dev/config.json';
const config = await Read(configPath);

// Load page-specific testing constitutions
const pageConstitutions = await Glob('.frontend-dev/testing/*.json');
for (const path of pageConstitutions) {
  const constitution = JSON.parse(await Read(path));
  // Extract page URLs, meta requirements, features
}

// Load login constitution for understanding site structure
const loginConstitution = await Read('.frontend-dev/auth/login-constitution.json');

Constitution-Driven SEO Analysis

When constitutions exist, use them to:

Page Inventory from Constitutions
- Get list of pages from .frontend-dev/testing/*.json
- Map page URLs for crawlability analysis
- Identify public vs authenticated pages
Extract SEO Requirements
- Check if constitutions define SEO requirements
- Look for seo or meta fields in page constitutions
- Verify requirements match implementation
Performance Budget Validation
- Use performance budgets from config.json
- Validate against constitution-defined thresholds

Constitution Files Reference

Constitution File	SEO Use
`.frontend-dev/config.json`	Site settings, performance budgets, base URL
`.frontend-dev/auth/login-constitution.json`	Login page URL, auth pages to exclude from crawl
`.frontend-dev/testing/[page].json`	Page URLs, features for content analysis

SEO Constitution Fields

If constitutions include SEO requirements, they may look like:

{
  "pageName": "Dashboard",
  "pageUrl": "/dashboard",
  "seo": {
    "title": "Dashboard - My App",
    "description": "View your analytics and manage settings",
    "indexable": false,
    "canonicalUrl": null
  },
  "performance": {
    "targetLCP": 2.5,
    "targetCLS": 0.1
  }
}

Reporting Constitution Status

## Constitution Status
- **Project Config**: Found ✅ / Not Found ⚠️
- **Pages Discovered**: [count] from constitutions
- **Auth Pages**: [count] (excluded from indexability check)
- **SEO Requirements**: Defined ✅ / Not Defined ⚠️

Expert SEO Audit Framework

Phase 1: Technical SEO Analysis

1.1 Crawlability & Indexability

Robots.txt Analysis:

Check /robots.txt:
✅ File exists and accessible
✅ No blocking of important resources (CSS, JS)
✅ Allows search engines (User-agent: *)
✅ Sitemap reference present
✅ No overly restrictive rules

Common Issues:
❌ Blocking entire site (Disallow: /)
❌ Blocking CSS/JS files (prevents rendering)
❌ No sitemap reference
❌ Blocking images or fonts unnecessarily

Meta Robots Tags:

✅ No unintentional noindex tags
✅ No nofollow on important links
✅ Index, follow for main content pages
✅ Noindex for duplicate/thin pages (tags, archives)
✅ Canonical tags properly implemented

Check for:
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"> <!-- Only where needed -->
<link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/canonical-url">

Sitemap.xml:

✅ Sitemap exists at /sitemap.xml
✅ Lists all important pages
✅ Proper XML format
✅ Includes lastmod dates
✅ References in robots.txt
✅ Submitted to Google Search Console
✅ No 404s or redirects in sitemap
✅ Priority and changefreq appropriate

Example structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
  <url>
    <loc>https://example.com/</loc>
    <lastmod>2025-11-11</lastmod>
    <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
    <priority>1.0</priority>
  </url>
</urlset>

URL Structure:

Best Practices:
✅ Clean, readable URLs (no ?id=123)
✅ Hyphens for word separation (not underscores)
✅ Lowercase only
✅ Short and descriptive (< 75 characters)
✅ Keywords in URL
✅ No unnecessary parameters
✅ HTTPS everywhere
✅ No www vs non-www conflicts (choose one)

Good: https://example.com/blog/seo-best-practices
Bad: https://example.com/page.php?id=123&cat=5

Redirect Chains:

Check for:
✅ No redirect chains (A → B → C)
✅ All redirects are 301 (permanent)
✅ No 302 (temporary) redirects unless intentional
✅ HTTPS redirects in place
✅ WWW/non-WWW redirects consistent
✅ Trailing slash consistency

Tools to check:
- curl -I https://example.com
- Check redirect hops
