SEO
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the practice of improving a site’s visibility in search results through technical quality, relevant content, and authority signals. Strong SEO combines crawlability, performance, metadata, internal linking, and useful content. Framer supports SEO with clean markup, metadata controls, and sitemap generation.
301 Redirect
SEO
A permanent redirect that tells browsers and search engines a page has moved to a new URL forever. This is essential for maintaining SEO value when restructuring your site or changing URL patterns. In Framer, configure 301 redirects in your site settings under the Redirects section to preserve link equity from old URLs.
404 Page
SEO
A custom error page displayed when visitors try to access a URL that doesn’t exist on your site. A well-designed 404 page helps retain visitors by offering navigation options and search functionality rather than a dead end. Framer lets you create branded 404 pages that match your site’s design and guide users back to relevant content.
Accessibility
Accessibility
The practice of designing websites that can be used by everyone, including people with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities. Beyond being ethically important, accessibility improves SEO, expands your audience, and is legally required in many jurisdictions. Key practices include proper heading structure, alt text for images, sufficient color contrast, and navigationkeyboard navigation support.
Canonical URL
SEO
An HTML element that tells search engines which URL is the ‘official’ version of a page when duplicate content exists at multiple addresses. This prevents SEO dilution from copied content, URL parameters, or www/non-www variations. Framer automatically generates canonical tags, and you can customize them in page settings for specific SEO requirements. See Setting up a custom canonical URL in Framer.
Heading Hierarchy
Accessibility
The structured use of heading levels (H1-H6) to organize content and communicate importance to users and search engines. Proper heading hierarchy improves accessibility, SEO, and content scanability. Use only one H1 per page and don't skip levels for visual styling. See Text styles and semantic tags.
