Can I use unique SEO elements for categories, variants, and images?

Technical Q&A
1

Hi there,
may I ask a few questions regarding tech / seo:

1.) Is it possible to provide a individual, unique H1-Tag within categories which differs from the actual Category Name within the Backend? Exp: Category “Bags” H1 should be “Women Bags”?

2.) The client sales bags, one specific bag is available in 10 differnt colors. Possible to provide a unique Meta Description for each “variant”? Exp. “Nike Bag XY red” … “Nike Bag XY blue …” ?

3.) Provide individual, unique Alt-Attributes for Images?

4.) Optimize Core Web Vitals in terms of tuning the sourcecode, minify css/js, compress images?

Thank you a lot so far :smiley:

Hi @MaWe19999933 , to answer your questions:

  1. It’s possible, you’ll have to access your code. On collection page, instead of {{collection.title}}, add your title, but you’ll have to make conditions, like
{% if collection.url == collections/woman %}
Woman bags
{%endif%}

In case that you have too much collections, I wouldn’t recommend this approach, but working with metafields.

  1. I’m not sure about this one, but metafields could help you here too.
  2. Alt attr for image - you can add those directly from shopify. Go to files, click on image and you’ll see ‘ADD ALT NAME’. And in your code you’ll have to include, for example:
  1. Compressing images is also important, you should consider lazy loading. And try to add images in webp format.

Hope this helps :slightly_smiling_face:
