SEO issues
-
First of all, thanks for this awesome theme!
When checking why my homepage wasn’t ranking well for the target keyword I found two serious SEO issues:
1) All post titles on the homepage and on the category pages are H1. Ideally there should be only one H1 per page. (Fix: change h1 tag to h2 in content.php)
2) The homepage doesn’t contain the website title in H1 tags, resulting in the latest (or sticky) post always being the first H1 on the homepage, which is most likely the one which gets picked up by Google. Needless to say this makes it hard to optimize the homepage for a target keyword. (Fix: overwrite independent_publisher_site_info function and add H1 with is_home conditional to it)
I fixed this in a child theme but thought I’ll let you know here in case you want to fix this for all users. TBH I’m baffled nobody has brought this to attention yet.
Additionally more than a year ago somebody raised a ticket concerning a structured data bug, see this thread. Since this hasn’t been fixed I’m wondering whether this theme has been abandoned?
