# SEO & Performance Testing Guide
Quick guide to test all the improvements we just implemented.
## 🏃 Quick Start
1. **Start the dev server:**
```bash
npm run dev
```
2. **Open in browser:**
```
http://localhost:3000
```
---
## 🔍 What to Test
### 1. Image Optimization
**Hero Section:**
- Load homepage
- Open DevTools → Network tab → Img filter
- Look for `/united-logo-full.jpg`
- **Expected:** Should see WebP or AVIF format
- **Expected:** Should have `?w=...` query params (Next.js optimization)
**Artists Section:**
- Scroll to artists section
- Check Network tab
- **Expected:** Images load as you scroll (lazy loading)
- **Expected:** Optimized formats and sizes
### 2. Metadata
**Homepage:**
- Right-click → View Page Source
- Search for `<meta property="og:`
- **Expected:** Find Open Graph tags for title, description, image
- Search for `<meta name="twitter:`
- **Expected:** Find Twitter Card tags
- Search for `application/ld+json`
- **Expected:** Find JSON-LD structured data
**Test All Pages:**
- [ ] `/` - Homepage
- [ ] `/aftercare` - Aftercare

- [ ] `/terms` - Terms (should have noindex)
### 3. Social Media Previews
**Facebook Debugger:**
1. Go to: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
2. Enter: `http://localhost:3000` (use ngrok for local testing)
3. Click "Scrape Again"
4. **Expected:** See title, description, and image preview
**Twitter Card Validator:**
1. Go to: https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator
2. Enter your URL
3. **Expected:** See card preview with image
### 4. Structured Data
**Google Rich Results Test:**
1. Go to: https://search.google.com/test/rich-results
2. Enter your URL or paste HTML
3. **Expected:** Valid `LocalBusiness` / `TattooParlor` schema
4. **Expected:** Valid `Organization` schema
**Check in DevTools:**
```javascript
// Run in browser console
JSON.parse(
document.querySelector('script[type="application/ld+json"]').textContent
)
```
**Expected:** See business info, address, opening hours
### 5. Performance
**Lighthouse Audit:**
1. Open DevTools

**Check FOUT:**
- Throttle network to "Slow 3G"
- Reload page
- **Expected:** Text should be visible immediately (font-display: swap)

## 🛠️ Testing with ngrok (for Social Media Testing)
Since social media crawlers can't access localhost, use ngrok:
1. **Install ngrok:**
```bash
npm install -g ngrok
```
2. **Start dev server:**
```bash
npm run dev
```
3. **In another terminal:**
```bash
ngrok http 3000
```
4. **Use the ngrok URL** in social media debuggers

## 🐛 Common Issues
### Images Not Optimizing
**Problem:** Images still loading as JPG/PNG
**Solution:**
1. Check `next.config.mjs` - ensure `unoptimized: false`
2. Restart dev server
3. Clear browser cache (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + R)
### Social Previews Not Working
**Problem:** Social media crawlers not seeing metadata
**Solution:**
1. Use ngrok for local testing
2. Check that page is server-side rendered (not client-only)
3. Wait 24 hours for cache to clear on social platforms
### Structured Data Errors
**Problem:** Google Rich Results Test shows errors
**Solution:**
1. Check `lib/metadata.ts` for typos
2. Ensure all required fields are present
3. Validate JSON syntax
### Environment Variable
**Problem:** URLs showing localhost in production
**Solution:**
1. Set `NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL` in your deployment environment
2. For local testing with ngrok, set it temporarily:
```bash
NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL=https://your-ngrok-url.ngrok.io npm run dev
```
---
## 📈 Production Testing
After deploying to production:
1. **Run Lighthouse on production URL**
2. **Submit to Google Search Console**
3. **Monitor for 7 days:**
- Check Search Console for errors
- Monitor Core Web Vitals
- Check mobile usability
4. **Test social shares** on real posts
5. **Monitor page load times** in analytics
---
## 🎯 Success Criteria
Your implementation is successful when:
✅ Lighthouse Performance Score > 90
✅ Lighthouse SEO Score = 100
✅ LCP < 2.5 seconds
✅ All images in WebP/AVIF format
✅ Social media previews display correctly
✅ Rich Results Test passes without errors
✅ No console errors
✅ Mobile performance is good
---
## 🆘 Need Help?
If something isn't working:
1. Check the browser console for errors
2. Review the Network tab for failed requests
3. Verify environment variables are set
4. Clear browser cache and try again
5. Check the [Next.js Image Optimization docs](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/optimizing/images)
---
**Quick Test Command:**
```bash
# Start dev server and open Lighthouse
npm run dev &
sleep 5 &&
open http://localhost:3000
```
Then open DevTools → Lighthouse → Run Audit
