Key features

SEO made easy

With elm-pages, SEO is as easy as calling a type-safe, high-level Elm API and passing in data from your content's metadata.

The metadata is just Elm data that you define however you want, using a Json Decoder to grab data out of your markdown frontmatter.

import MyMetadata exposing (MyMetadata)

head : BlogMetadata -> List (Head.Tag Pages.PathKey)
head meta =
  Seo.summaryLarge
    { canonicalUrlOverride = Nothing
    , siteName = "elm-pages"
    , image =
      { url = PagesNew.images.icon
      , alt = meta.description
      , dimensions = Nothing
      , mimeType = Nothing
      }
    , description = meta.description
    , locale = Nothing
    , title = meta.title
    }
    |> Seo.article
      { tags = []
      , section = Nothing
      , publishedTime = Just (Date.toIsoString meta.published)
      , modifiedTime = Nothing
      , expirationTime = Nothing
      }

Optimized for performance

elm-pages has a set of features built-in to make sure your page is blazing fast on any device.

• Automatic page pre-rendering
• Page content is split up per-page so page content downloads and parses just-in-time
• Page pre-fetching on link hover

Compatibility Key

You will see an error if the NPM and Elm package do not have a matching Compatibility Key. Usually it's best to upgrade to the latest version of both the Elm and NPM packages when you upgrade. However, in case you want to install versions that are behind the latest, the Compatibility Key is included here for reference.

Current Compatibility Key: 18.
