Every social share of Lynkr was rendering empty because the
canonical URL, OG image, sitemap, and robots.txt all pointed at
vishalveerareddy123.github.io/Lynkr (HTTP 404). The real site
lives at fast-editor.github.io/Lynkr. This also splits Google's
index across a dead canonical and the working host.
Changes:
* docs/index.md, docs/index.html: fix canonical, og:url, og:image,
twitter:url, twitter:image (5 dead URLs each). Added
og:image:width / height / alt so Twitter, LinkedIn, Slack and
Discord all render the card correctly.
* docs/sitemap.xml: all 6 sitemap entries pointed at dead host;
fixed + bumped lastmod.
* docs/robots.txt: sitemap pointer was dead.
* package.json: repository / bugs / homepage all pointed at the
personal fork. Repointed to Fast-Editor org and the Pages site
(better link equity for the npmjs.com SEO page).
* package.json description: rewrote — old version had typos
('BedRock', double space, missing commas) and buried the
high-volume keywords (gateway, router, tier routing).
* package.json keywords: 6 -> 28. Added llm-gateway, llm-router,
ai-gateway, cursor, codex, openrouter, ollama, bedrock,
copilot-alternative, litellm-alternative, portkey-alternative
and other terms npm uses for search ranking.
* docs/index.md, docs/index.html JSON-LD:
- softwareVersion 8.0 -> 9.3.2 (was 14 months stale).
- Removed fabricated aggregateRating (Google penalizes /
strips this); replaced with verifiable InteractionCounter
using the real star count.
* docs/index.md visible v8.0 hero text -> v9.3.2.
* README + docs: brew tap, deepwiki, ghcr.io image URLs swept to
fast-editor org so badges and copy-paste install snippets land
on resources that match the canonical repo.
* docs/og-image.png: new 1200x630 social card. Was referenced by 4
meta tags but never existed in the repo, so every share was
image-less.
Note: a one-line fix to .github/workflows/index.yml (IndexNow HOST
points at the same dead host and was telling Bing to index 404s on
every docs push) is split out into a separate PR because this
token doesn't have the workflow scope. Apply it via the GitHub web
editor — change line 25:
HOST="vishalveerareddy123.github.io" -> HOST="fast-editor.github.io"
