Description
The SEO setup is the strongest aspect of the current site, but there are a few remaining issues:
og:image shows poorly on social media — currently points to logo-white.png (white logo on transparent background), which is invisible on white-background platforms (Facebook, LinkedIn, iMessage previews)
- Copyright year is hardcoded — footer shows "RocketPy Team © 2025", should be updated to 2026 (or made dynamic)
- Missing
canonical link — no <link rel="canonical"> tag to prevent duplicate content issues
- Missing structured data — no JSON-LD schema markup (SoftwareApplication schema would help search engine rich results)
- Sitemap references —
sitemap.xml should be referenced in robots.txt
- Image alt text — decorative
<div> elements with role="img" could use more descriptive aria-label values, and converting them to real <img> tags would improve SEO
Proposed fixes
- Create a proper OG image (1200×630px) with the RocketPy logo on a dark blue background
- Update copyright year to 2026 (or use JS to auto-update)
- Add
<link rel="canonical" href="https://rocketpy.org/"> to both pages
- Add JSON-LD structured data for SoftwareApplication
- Add
Sitemap: https://rocketpy.org/sitemap.xml to robots.txt
Affected files
index.html — canonical link, structured data
about.html — canonical link
robots.txt — add sitemap reference
images/ — new OG image asset
- Footer in both HTML files — copyright year
Acceptance Criteria
