Why do Lovable projects need a special SEO audit?
Lovable generates React-based single-page applications (SPAs) that render content client-side. This means search engines initially see an empty HTML shell, which can result in poor indexing. This audit checks for Lovable-specific issues like default titles, missing meta tags, and content visibility.
Can Google index my Lovable app?
Google can render JavaScript and index SPAs, but with limitations. There's a delay between crawling and rendering, and complex JavaScript can fail to render. Many Lovable apps ship with default titles like 'Vite + React + TS' and no meta description, which hurts SEO even when content is indexed.
How do I fix SEO issues on my Lovable project?
Start by setting a custom title and meta description in your index.html. Add Open Graph tags for social sharing. For content visibility, consider using a prerendering service like Hado SEO that serves fully rendered HTML to search engine bots without any code changes to your Lovable project.
Does this tool work on non-Lovable sites?
Yes! While this tool is optimized for Lovable projects with platform-specific detection and advice, the underlying SEO checks (title, meta description, content visibility, OG tags) apply to any website. You'll still get a full audit report.
