## 🛠️ 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
|
|
```
|
|

|
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
