Technical SEO for a Laravel site: 2026 checklist

Foundation beats "keywords in H1"

Without a technical base, content will not perform. Below is what we check in an SEO audit.

Speed and Core Web Vitals

• HTML cache (Statamic static cache in production);
• defer for JS, versioned CSS;
• WebP, width/height on images, lazy-load;
• gzip/brotli and Cache-Control on static assets.

Indexing

• robots.txt and up-to-date sitemap.xml;
• canonical on every page;
• hreflang for RU/EN pairs;
• 301, not 302, for permanent redirects.

Markup

• Open Graph with 1200×630 PNG;
• JSON-LD: Organization, WebSite, Article, Service, FAQ;
• BreadcrumbList breadcrumbs.

Statamic specifics

Separate collections for EN without multisite Pro is a valid pattern if you link URLs via hreflang and avoid duplicating brand in titles.

Content and internal links

Articles should link to services and cases — that distributes authority and improves conversion, not just traffic. For local search in the region see SEO website promotion in Moldova and Transnistria.
