  • Optimization

Description

Summary

SEO/GEO optimisation across 110 Dedicated Server guides in all 7 languages (EN, FR, DE, PL, ES, IT, PT).

Changes per category

  • Titles (97 EN): Standardised Dedicated Server - prefix pattern, enforced 30-60 char SERP window, front-loaded product name and primary keywords
  • Excerpts (93 EN): Replaced formulaic openers ("This guide explains…") with action verbs, optimised for 120-155 char meta description length
  • Image alt-text (281 EN across 49 guides): Fixed empty, generic, duplicate, and camelCase alt-texts with descriptive alternatives
  • Go Further cross-links (113 links added across 77 EN guides): Built topic cluster cross-linking (networking, vRack, RAID, firewall, rescue, etc.), resolved 12 orphan guides with 0 inbound links
  • External links: Fixed 6 broken/redirected URLs in 3 guides

Translations

All EN changes translated to 6 languages:

  • FR: 99 guides (titles, excerpts, alt-text, Go Further links)
  • DE: 67 guides + typographic quote fix in 23 files
  • PL: 69 guides
  • ES: 68 guides
  • IT: 68 guides (+ 24 community link modernisations)
  • PT: 68 guides

Only pre-existing translated files were modified — no new locale files created. Language detection was used to skip files containing EN content in non-EN locales.
