If you are a software developer, the odds that you have used React.js to build a web application are pretty high. This is because React is unarguably one of the most popular JavaScript frameworks. According to Statistica, it is the second most used web framework among developers worldwide after Node.js, with a 40.58% usage rating from respondents. React has been used to build popular web apps such as Instagram, Dropbox, Netflix, etc, and can be used for different kinds of websites, including blogs, which is the focus of this tutorial.

There are different ways to create a blog with React. Still, if you want an organized and flexible way of managing your content while saving the time and effort it will take to develop a solution yourself, then, using a headless content management system (CMS) like ButterCMS is one of the best ways to do that.

In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through setting up a blog using React and ButterCMS. If you'd like to follow along, you can start a 14-day free trial of ButterCMS to get hands-on experience as we build. Before we dive into implementation, let’s look at a few reasons why React is great for building a blog:

Why is React great for building blogs

React offers features and capabilities that could make it exactly what you need for your blog. Let’s explore a handful below:

React is SEO-friendy

Out of the box, React is client-side rendered (CSR-ered). A few years ago, this would have made it a bad option for blogs due to SEO (search engine optimization) concerns, but with the support of Javascript by popular search engines like Google and Bing, React CSR-ered websites can now be crawled and indexed, making it a viable option for creating blogs.

For better SEO and to avoid the challenges associated with CSR, we can enable server-side rendering (SSR) using server React DOM APIs like renderToString and renderToPipeableStream or generate static HTML using renderToStaticMarkup. With this, search engines will no longer need to execute JavaScript to crawl our site, resulting in improved SEO performance.

Enhanced UI capabilities

React’s rich ecosystem offers a large pool of tools and packages that add enhanced UI capabilities to your blog. From WYSIWYG editor and code syntax highlighter to slick animations, you name it; there is probably a library out there you can integrate to provide the desired experience for your users. Additionally, with React’s virtual DOM – an out-of-the-box mechanism that efficiently handles DOM updates, the process of adding UI capabilities, is much easier and faster, giving you more time to create the desired user experience.

Below are a few tools that can be used to enhance the UI capabilities of your blog:

  • Tiptap Editor: A customizable WYSIWYG rich text editor. It can be added to the comment section to facilitate communication.

  • React Syntax Highlighter: A React component for code syntax highlighting. It can be used to highlight code snippets in a blog post.

  • Framer motion: A popular React animation library. It can be used to add page transitions, scroll animations, hover effects, etc.

Reusable components

One of the key concepts of React is components. Components enable us to break down a user interface (UI) into independent pieces that can be used in different parts of an application. Utilizing components for a blog, the blog postcard, header, footer, custom button, etc., can be created separately and used through the blog application. This can improve productivity by enabling the reuse of said components. Additionally, several component libraries like Material UI, Chakra UI, Ant Design, etc., offer ready-to-use components that could save you time. 

React is flexible

React can be used on different platforms to build high-quality user interfaces. It can be used for web apps, mobile apps, and desktop apps. In the context of creating blogs, it allows the setting of unique meta descriptions and titles that contribute to SEO. It can be used for server-side rendering and static-site generation, which can be enabled with a few tweaks to your code. Furthermore, its large community of developers continuously develops tools to accelerate the incorporation of desired features into your blog app.

Tutorial goals and prerequisites

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a blog with React and manage its content using ButterCMS. In the blog, we will fetch the data from ButterCMS, display it in our app, and add a search feature to sort content based on their category.

To follow along with this tutorial, you should have the following:

Tutorial: Building a blog with React

There are different approaches to building a blog with React. We can choose to hard-code a blog (i.e., manually enter all data to be displayed on the blog). While this could work, it can quickly become cumbersome to update the blog’s content. Moreover, it is not suitable for a developer-to-client project, as it would require the client to possess the technical know-how of the used programming language or the developer’s assistance to update the blog.

One alternative to this is to create a back-end along with an authentication-protected interface to manage the blog’s content. This provides more flexibility and makes carrying out CRUD operations feasible for the client. 

However, a better approach is to use a content management system (CMS), namely a headless CMS. This approach provides a ready-to-use dashboard where we can view and manage all our content. We will be using this approach in this article. 

We will start by building the front-end of the blog with React, then set up our content structure using ButterCMS, and finally, link the CMS to our app to display content.

Building the blog’s front-end

The first step to setting up the front-end with React is to create a new React application. This can be done via the CLI in your chosen directory with the following command:

npm create vite@latest blogreact -- --template react
cd blogreact
npm install

If you’re prompted to install create-vite, enter y. The above command creates a project folder blogreact with all necessary dependencies for React installed. 

To handle API requests and routing in our blog application and to navigate from the landing page to specific blog content, we will be using Axios and React-routers (a React module for creating dynamic routes in a React application). We can install these dependencies via the CLI with the following commands:

npm install react-router-dom axios

Once installation is complete, we can open this in a code editor and proceed to create the front-end of our application.

Defining the application’s routes

Firstly, we will define the routes for our blog application. These routes are the landing page, a route to a specific blog post, and a redirect route back to the home page.

We will do this using the React-router-dom package we installed. In main.jsx, make the following changes to allow for routing in the application:

import { BrowserRouter } from "react-router-dom";

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')).render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <BrowserRouter>
      <App />
    </BrowserRouter>
  </React.StrictMode&gt;,
)

Then, we can create specific routes in App.jsx:

import "./App.css";
import { Route, Routes } from "react-router-dom";
import HomePage from "./pages/HomePage";
import BlogPost from "./pages/BlogPost";
import { React, useState } from "react";

function App() {
const [getBlogContent, setGetBlogContent] = useState([]);
  const getData = (blog) => {
    setGetBlogContent(blog);
  }
  return (
    <div>
      <div className="container">
        <Routes>
          <Route path="/" element={<HomePage data={getData}/>} />
          <Route path="/blog/:id" element={<BlogPost content={getBlogContent}/>} />
        </Routes>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}
export default App;

Here, we set up the route to our HomePage and BlogPost. The home page has an empty path for the route, while the blog route has the pathname “blog,” along with the ID of the specific React blog we will be viewing. In this case, it will be the name of the content.

Creating the landing and blog pages

We will create two folders in the src directory of the project folder: pages and components. In the former, we will have the HomePage and BlogPost pages, while the latter will contain the components that make up our application's two main pages. In HomePage.jsx, we have the following:

import {React,  useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import EmptyList from '../components/EmptyList';
import BlogList from '../components/BlogList';
import Header from '../components/Header';
import SearchBar from '../components/SearchBar';
import { blogList } from '../config/Api';

const HomePage = ({data}) => {
  const [blogs, setBlogs] = useState([]);
  const [filteredBlogs, setFilteredBlogs] = useState([])
  const [searchKey, setSearchKey] = useState('');
  // Search submit
  const handleSearchBar = (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    handleSearchResults();
  };
  // Search for blog by category
  const handleSearchResults = () => {
   //handle search inputs
  };
  // Clear search and show all blogs
  const handleClearSearch = () => {
    blogList().then((res) => {
      setBlogs(res);
    })
    setSearchKey("");
  };

  // function to get selected blog content
 const BlogContent = (id) => {
  data(id);
}
  return (
    <div>
      {/* Page Header */}
      <Header />
      {/* Search Bar */}
      <SearchBar
        value={searchKey}
        clearSearch={handleClearSearch}
        formSubmit={handleSearchBar}
        handleSearchKey={(e) => setSearchKey(e.target.value)}
      />
      {/* Blog List & Empty View */}
      {!filteredBlogs.length ? <EmptyList /> : <BlogList blogs={filteredBlogs} content = {BlogContent}/>}
    </div>
  );
};
export default HomePage;

This will be the page structure of our landing page. It will contain a Header component and a SearchBar component, and it will render the content of our React blog. 

In BlogPost.jsx we have the following:

import {React} from 'react';
import Chip from '../components/Chip';
import EmptyList from '../components/EmptyList';
import '../index.css';
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';

const Blog = () =&gt; {
 
  return (
    &lt;&gt;
      &lt;Link className='blog-goBack' to='/'&gt;
        &lt;span&gt; &#8592;</span> <span>Go Back</span>
      &lt;/Link>
    </&gt;
  );
};
export default Blog;

This page describes the structure of the React blog view page. When the user selects content from the landing page, they can view more information on that content. This will be made possible using the BlogPost page.

Creating our components

Next, we will define all components we will be using in our application. In the components directory, create the following files: Chip.jsx, EmptyList.jsx, BlogList.jsx, BlogItem.jsx, Header.jsx, and SearchBar.jsx.

The first component, Chip.jsx, will be responsible for containing the tags of specific blog content. We will use these tags to classify content and return content whose tags match the search field input when we wish to search through our React blog. The listed components will contain the following blocks of code:

//Chip.js

import React from 'react';
import '../index.css';
const Chip = ({ label }) => <p className='chip'>{label}</p>;
export default Chip;

//EmptyList.js

import React from 'react';
import '../index.css';
const EmptyList = () => (
  <div className='emptyList-wrap'>
    <img src='/assets/13525-empty.gif' alt='empty' />
  </div>
);
export default EmptyList;

This component defines an image that will be displayed when there is no content to be displayed on the page, or when the search query does not match the tags of any article. 

//BlogList.js

import React from 'react';
import BlogItem from './BlogItem';
import '../index.css';
const BlogList = ({ blogs, content }) => {
  return (
    <div className='blogList-wrap'>
      {blogs.map((blog) => (
        <BlogItem blog={blog} content={content}/>
      ))}
    </div>
  );
};
export default BlogList;

And in BlogItem.jsx, we have:

import React from 'react';
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
import Chip from './Chip';
import '../index.css';
const BlogItem = ({blog, content}) => {
  return (
    <div className='blogItem-wrap'>
    </div>
  );
};
export default BlogItem;

BlogItem.jsx and BlogList.jsx will handle rendering the content received from our CMS in our React application. In our Header.jsx, we have the following:

import React from 'react';
import '../index.css';
const Header = () => (
  <header className='home-header'>
    <h2>My Personal Blog</h2>
    <h1>
      <span>"</span> Take a look at my Content <span>"</span>
    </h1>
    <p>
      Read, enjoy <br /> and contribute.
    </p>
  </header>
);
export default Header;

For the SearchBar.js component, we have:

import React from 'react';
import '../index.css';
const SearchBar = ({ formSubmit, value, handleSearchKey, clearSearch }) => (
  <div className='searchBar-wrap'>
    <form onSubmit={formSubmit}>
      <input
        type='text'
        placeholder='Search By Category'
        value={value}
        onChange={handleSearchKey}
      />
      {value && <span onClick={clearSearch}>X</span>}
      <button>Go</button>
    </form>
  </div>
);
export default SearchBar;

And finally we will create a file called Api.js in a new directory, config, within the src folder. This file will handle all API requests for our CRUD operations:

import React from 'react'
export const blogList = async ()=>{
}

Styling our blog application

To style our application, add the following styles in index.css:

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Montserrat:ital,wght@0,100;0,200;0,300;0,400;0,500;0,600;0,700;0,800;0,900;1,100;1,200;1,300;1,400;1,500;1,600;1,700;1,800;1,900&display=swap');

}

Now, if we run our application using the npm run dev command in the CLI, we get a result similar to the below image:

Personal blog result after running npm start in the CLI.

Setting up ButterCMS

To get started with ButterCMS, you will first need to create a user account and log in to your dashboard on the ButterCMS website. ButterCMS has a content structure set up designed for creating React blog posts. With this, we do not need to create our own setup. To make use of React blog posts, select Blog posts from the left sidebar:

Where the

On the new page that opens up, we have an example blog post already created for us. If you wish to create a new blog post, click on the New Post button at the top-right and fill out the form on the page that opens. The WYSIWYG editor provided by the Blog Post type makes it easy to create content for a React blog site, including inserting media and videos into it.

Creating a new post in ButterCMS interface (specifically the blog engine).

Connecting our application to ButterCMS

To connect our application to ButterCMS, we will need the read token to fetch content from the CMS. This can be found in the settings tab on the dashboard. Copy and store this key in a .env file in your project directory. In Api.js, we will set up our fetch operation:

import React from "react";
import axios from "axios";

const read_token = import.meta.env.VITE_READ_TOKEN;

export const blogList = async () => {
  const url = `
  https://api.buttercms.com/v2/posts?auth_token=${read_token}`;
  return axios.get(url).then((res) => {
    return res.data.data;
  });
};

In HomePage.jsx, we can  get the data from this API request and store it in our blog state:

// get content from buttercms
useEffect(() => {
    blogList().then((res) => {
        setBlogs(res);
    })
} , []);

Then, we will render the content in BlogItem.jsx:

const BlogItem = ({blog, content}) => {
  return (
   <div className='blogItem-wrap' key={blog.title}>
      <img className='blogItem-cover' src={blog.featured_image} alt='cover' />
      <Chip label={blog.tags[0].name} />
      <h3>{blog.title}</h3>
      <p className='blogItem-desc'>{blog.summary}</p>
      <footer>
        <div className='blogItem-author'>
          <img src={blog.author.profile_image} alt='avatar' />
          <div>
            <h6>{blog.author.first_name+" "+blog.author.last_name}</h6>
            <p>{blog.created_at}</p>
          </div>
        </div>
        <Link className='blogItem-link' to={`/blog/${blog.title}`} onClick={()=>{content(blog)}}></Link>
      </footer>
    </div>
  );
};

This will render the content stored on our CMS. Below is an image showing some sample content I created in my blogreact collection:

New blog post displaying on the deployed website.

To be able to view our content via the arrow at the bottom right of the BlogItem component, we just need to make the following changes to BlogPost.jsx:

const Blog = ({content}) => {
  return (
    <>
      <Link className='blog-goBack' to='/'>
        <span> &#8592;</span> <span>Go Back</span>
      </Link>
      {content ? (
        <div className='blog-wrap'>
          <header>
            <p className='blog-date'>Published {content.created}</p>
            <h1>{content.title}</h1>
            <div className='blog-subCategory'>
              
                <div>
                  <Chip label={content.tags[0].name} />
                </div>
              
            </div>
          </header>
          <img src={content.featured_image} alt='cover' />
          <div className='blog-content' dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: content.body}}></div>
        </div>
      ) : (
        <EmptyList />
      )}
    </>
  );
};

Here, we have the structure for the React blog content that will be displayed in the BlogPost.jsx file. The WYSIWYG editor returns its content in the form of HTML. We can then render this to produce the required results.

With this, we get a preview of the selected React blog content:

Selected blog post preview.

With our search field in the HomePage component, we will be able to search through our content and display results corresponding to a search query. To do this, edit the handleSearchResults function in HomePage.jsx as shown below:

 // Search for blog by category
  const handleSearchResults = () => {
    const filtered = blogs.filter((blog) => {
      return blog.tags[0].name.toLowerCase().includes(searchKey.toLowerCase().trim());
    });
    setFilteredBlogs(filtered);
  };

What is the future of React blog development?

The React team is consistently introducing innovative improvements to build better React apps. Over the years, features like Streaming and Server Components have been introduced offering better performance along with Concurrent Rendering, which improves responsiveness, all of which are great for blogs. In the upcoming version of React: React 19, several new features have also been introduced, and one of the notable ones essential for blog applications is the support for Document metadata, enabling the use of tags like and <meta> directly in components. This was previously done using effects or libraries like <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-helmet" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">React Helmet</a>. With all these improvements, we can tell how enthusiastic the React team is about making React more performant, which is very important for blog applications. </p> <h2 id="questions-about-building-a-blog-with-react"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Questions about building a blog with React</span></h2> <div itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h3 itemprop="name"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How do you use React components in a blog?</span></h3> <div itemprop="acceptedAnswer"> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">React components are independent segments of code created for reuse to prevent a repetition of code blocks. In a blog use case, portions of the code such as the card display of articles on the blog can be created as a component to avoid having to repeat the same code for different posts. This component can then be imported to handle the rendering of as many posts that are to be displayed on a page. Also, sections such as the header and footer sections, which are the same for each article page, can be created as components and rendered with changes to their content to reflect the current article’s name and details on the article page.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></p> </div> </div> <div itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h3 itemprop="name"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How do you test your React blog?</span></h3> <div itemprop="acceptedAnswer"> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">React applications usually have different levels of sophistication.

However, if you are to carry out a test on a React blog application, these are the following sections you should consider:</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Core features of the blog</b>: Fetching blog content from whatever data source it is linked to and rendering individual content in a manner that boosts user experience</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><b>User interactions</b>: Include testing scope for user interactions, such as actions to be handled by </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">onClick</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> events on the cards and the resulting action of opening and displaying the article content. Testing the search events using the on-site search field.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Components and state changes</b>: Test the most used components that make up the blog and consider state changes and updates caused by prop changes in the blog. An example of this is the prop passed from the “all contents” display component of a React blog to the page where an individual content has its entire data displayed due to the user selecting a particular article from the list of items.</span></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h3 itemprop="name"><span style="font-weight: 400;">What should I learn before starting with React.JS?</span></h3> <div itemprop="acceptedAnswer"> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By now, you are fully aware that React is one of the most popular JavaScript frameworks, and its popularity increases on a day-by-day basis as more people dive into software development. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Starting out as a “newbie” developer can be very overwhelming, as there is tons of information out there at your disposal. So what should you learn before React.js? Here’s a list of the top 5 things:</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #3d2dd3;"><b>HTML </b></span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.w3schools.com/css/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #3d2dd3;"><b>CSS</b></span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fundamentals of </span><a href="https://www.w3schools.com/js/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #3d2dd3;"><b>JavaScript</b></span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (ES6 and above)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://reactjs.org/docs/introducing-jsx.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #3d2dd3;"><b>JSX</b></span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://git-scm.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #3d2dd3;"><b>Git</b></span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><a href="https://github.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #3d2dd3;"><b>GitHub</b></span></a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h3 itemprop="name"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why should I learn React?</span></h3> <div itemprop="acceptedAnswer"> <p>Learning React is like holding a master key to different frameworks and libraries. Its flexibility makes it possible to be used for not just web applications but mobile, desktop, and AR/VR apps as well. It is the backbone or fundamental part of powerful tools like Next.js – a full stack framework for building CSR, SSR, and SSG apps; React Native – a framework for building apps for Android, IOS, Desktop, and other platforms; ViroReact – a library for building AR/VR experience, etc. So by learning React, you are also equipping yourself with the knowledge to quickly pick up other useful tools as well which might be required as you progress in your development journey. </p> <p>Additionally, React is popular, so it has an active community of developers who create helpful tools to solve problems and ease development. This means that many companies use React, making knowledge of it a valuable skill in the job market.</p> </div> </div> <div itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h3 itemprop="name"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Can a beginner learn React?</span></h3> <div itemprop="acceptedAnswer"> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">React is easier to learn and more beginner-friendly compared to <a href="/angular-cms/" rel="follow">Angular </a>and <a href="/vuejs-cms/" rel="follow">Vue</a>. React uses JSX which has a syntax similar to HTML and JavaScript, making it beginner-friendly if you already have basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. One of the best ways to learn React is by building projects and practicing regularly.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></p> <h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to create a blog with React and Firebase?</span></h3> <p>To do this, you can start by creating your blog’s front-end along with an interface protected by authentication to manage your blog content. The content management interface could be part of the front-end or a separate domain. Alternatively, rather than creating a content management interface from scratch, ButterCMS can be used, which also means it can be used as your database. Continuing from where we left off, head over to your <a href="https://console.firebase.google.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Firebase Console</a>, add a new project, create a Firestore database, and set up authentication by enabling a sign-in method. Next, configure your newly created Firebase project for the web and copy the configurations you are given to your clipboard. Finally, head over to your project, install the Firebase SDK, initialize Firebase using the copied configurations, and then implement the needed functionalities. </p> <h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">How do I create a full-stack website using React?</span></h3> <p>To build a full-stack website with React, it is recommended to use a React-powered framework like <a href="https://nextjs.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Next.js</a> or <a href="/blog/what-is-react-remix/" rel="follow">Remix</a>. These frameworks allow you to write both your front-end and back-end in a single codebase, saving you the time and effort of deploying and maintaining a separate backend server.</p> </div> </div> <h2 id="closing-thoughts"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Closing thoughts</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this article, we learned how to build a blog with React.

That’s usually not a problem for traditional server-rendered websites. But with Angular apps, things can get tricky. </p>\n<p>As you already know, Angular is a single-page application (SPA) framework, and that means most of the content is loaded and rendered on the client side. Search bots don’t always wait around for your <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">JavaScript </a>to</span> finish running.</p>\n<p>So even though you’ve got a beautiful Angular app, your content might as well be invisible to search engines <em>if you’re not careful.</em></p>\n<p>This is why Angular SEO isn’t just about meta tags or good URLs. It’s about structuring your app so that crawlers can access meaningful content as soon as possible. </p>\n<p>In this post, we’ll look at practical strategies to make that happen.

This makes it hard for search engines to index the actual content of the page.</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Dynamic metadata</strong>: Titles, descriptions, Open Graph tags, and other metadata are often updated dynamically in Angular. If not handled correctly, crawlers don’t see the right metadata.</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Routing issues</strong>: Angular uses its own client-side router. When not configured properly, crawlers may not be able to follow internal links or may run into broken routes.</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>JavaScript errors or timeouts:</strong> If a page takes too long to render or if there’s a JS error, bots may skip the content entirely.</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Lack of server-rendered previews for social sharing:</strong> Without proper SSR or prerendering, social media shares of Angular URLs won’t show previews, since those platforms rely on static meta tags.</span></p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h2 id=\"how\">How to optimize Angular for SEO</h2>\n<p>Server-side rendering (SSR) is one of the most effective ways to make Angular SEO friendly. Here’s why:</p>\n<p>With SSR enabled, your app sends fully rendered HTML from the server instead of waiting for the browser to build the page using JavaScript. This means that crawlers get immediate access to all your content and metadata, without having to wait or execute any scripts.</p>\n<p>Before Angular 17, you’d have to add and configure Angular Universal as a separate package to implement server-side rendering. But since Angular 17, SSR and prerendering are built right into the Angular CLI through the <a href=\"https://angular.dev/guide/ssr\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@angular/ssr</a> package. </p>\n<p>You no longer need a separate Universal setup, and the CLI handles the integration out of the box. <em>Please note that the </em><a href=\"https://github.com/angular/universal\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>old Angular Universal repo</em></a><em> is now in maintenance mode, and all future improvements to SSR and prerendering are handled directly in the CLI.</em></p>\n<p>That said, let’s go over the steps needed to enable SSR in an Angular app.</p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you’re starting from scratch, you can scaffold a project with SSR already configured:</span></p>\n</li>\n</ol>\n<pre><code class=\"hljs language-sql\">ng <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">new</span> my<span class=\"hljs-operator\">-</span>angular<span class=\"hljs-operator\">-</span>app <span class=\"hljs-comment\">--ssr</span></code></pre>\n<p>          This sets up everything you need for hybrid rendering out of the box.</p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you already have an Angular app, you can add SSR support using:</span></p>\n</li>\n</ol>\n<pre><code class=\"hljs language-sql\">ng <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">add</span> <span class=\"hljs-variable\">@angular</span><span class=\"hljs-operator\">/</span>ssr</code></pre>\n<p>          This will install the necessary packages and update your project files to support SSR.</p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can control how each route is rendered using the <strong>RenderMode</strong> options.

You can inject these services into any component that manages route-level metadata. Here’s an example:</p>\n<pre><code class=\"hljs language-kotlin\"><span class=\"hljs-keyword\">import</span> { Component, OnInit } from <span class=\"hljs-string\">'@angular/core'</span>;\n<span class=\"hljs-keyword\">import</span> { Title, Meta } from <span class=\"hljs-string\">'@angular/platform-browser'</span>;\n\n<span class=\"hljs-meta\">@Component({\n selector: <span class=\"hljs-string\">'app-about'</span>,\n templateUrl: <span class=\"hljs-string\">'./about.component.html'</span>,\n})</span>\nexport <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">class</span> <span class=\"hljs-title class_\">AboutComponent</span> <span class=\"hljs-title\">implements</span> <span class=\"hljs-title\">OnInit</span> {\n <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">constructor</span>(<span class=\"hljs-keyword\">private</span> title: Title, <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">private</span> meta: Meta) {}\n\n ngOnInit(): void {\n <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">this</span>.title.setTitle(<span class=\"hljs-string\">'About Us - My Angular App'</span>);\n <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">this</span>.meta.updateTag({ name: <span class=\"hljs-string\">'description'</span>, content: <span class=\"hljs-string\">'Learn more about our company, team, and mission.'</span> });\n <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">this</span>.meta.updateTag({ property: <span class=\"hljs-string\">'og:title'</span>, content: <span class=\"hljs-string\">'About Us - My Angular App'</span> });\n <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">this</span>.meta.updateTag({ property: <span class=\"hljs-string\">'og:description'</span>, content: <span class=\"hljs-string\">'Learn more about our company, team, and mission.'</span> });\n }\n}\n</code></pre>\n<p>In this example, we set the page title and meta description using Angular’s Title and Meta services. We also update Open Graph tags like <code>og:title</code> and<strong> </strong><code>og:description</code><strong> </strong>for better link previews. All this is run in <code>ngOnInit</code>, so tags update whenever the component loads.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"></span></p>\n<h3 id=\"implement\">Implement structured data (schema markup)</h3>\n<p>Structured data helps search engines understand the content of your pages better. In Angular, you can add schema markup using <a href=\"https://json-ld.org/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">JSON-LD</a> by inserting it directly into the page with<a href=\"https://angular.dev/api/core/Renderer2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Renderer2</a>. This lets the markup exist in the HTML sent from the server, which is important for SEO.</p>\n<p>Here’s a basic example:</p>\n<pre><code class=\"hljs language-typescript\"><span class=\"hljs-title function_\">constructor</span>(<span class=\"hljs-params\"><span class=\"hljs-keyword\">private</span> <span class=\"hljs-attr\">renderer</span>: <span class=\"hljs-title class_\">Renderer2</span>, <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">private</span> <span class=\"hljs-attr\">el</span>: <span class=\"hljs-title class_\">ElementRef</span></span>) {}\n\n<span class=\"hljs-title function_\">ngOnInit</span>(<span class=\"hljs-params\"></span>) {\n <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">const</span> schema = {\n <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"@context\"</span>: <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"https://schema.org\"</span>,\n <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"@type\"</span>: <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"Article\"</span>,\n <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"headline\"</span>: <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"Angular SEO Guide\"</span>,\n <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"author\"</span>: {\n <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"@type\"</span>: <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"Person\"</span>,\n <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"name\"</span>: <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"Your Name\"</span>\n },\n <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"datePublished\"</span>: <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"2025-08-06\"</span>\n };\n\n <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">const</span> script = <span class=\"hljs-variable language_\">this</span>.<span class=\"hljs-property\">renderer</span>.<span class=\"hljs-title function_\">createElement</span>(<span class=\"hljs-string\">'script'</span>);\n script.<span class=\"hljs-property\">type</span> = <span class=\"hljs-string\">'application/ld+json'</span>;\n script.<span class=\"hljs-property\">text</span> = <span class=\"hljs-title class_\">JSON</span>.<span class=\"hljs-title function_\">stringify</span>(schema);\n <span class=\"hljs-variable language_\">this</span>.<span class=\"hljs-property\">renderer</span>.<span class=\"hljs-title function_\">appendChild</span>(<span class=\"hljs-variable language_\">this</span>.<span class=\"hljs-property\">el</span>.<span class=\"hljs-property\">nativeElement</span>, script);\n}\n</code></pre>\n<p>This code adds schema.org structured data using JSON-LD inside a <code><script></code> tag. Search engines read this to understand the page content better.</p>\n<h3 id=\"create\">Create SEO-friendly URLs</h3>\n<p>Clean and readable URLs help both users and search engines understand what a page is about. Here are some tips on how to create them:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use lowercase letters</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Separate words with hyphens (-)</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Avoid special characters and long query strings</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep the URL short and descriptive</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use meaningful paths like <code>/blog/angular-seo-tips</code></span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Define clear routes using Angular’s <strong>Router</strong> module</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid changing URLs frequently to maintain link equity</span></p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h3 id=\"improve\">Improve page load speed</h3>\n<p>Page load speed affects both user experience and search rankings. Follow these tips to keep your app fast and responsive:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use Angular’s built-in lazy loading to load modules only when needed</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minify JavaScript, CSS, and HTML files using Angular CLI</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enable HTTP compression on your server</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Optimize images using tools like <strong>ImageMagick</strong>, <strong>TinyPNG</strong>, or <strong>ImageKit</strong></span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to serve static assets faster</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preload important resources using <code><link rel=\"preload\"></code></span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Audit and monitor performance with tools like <a href=\"https://developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lighthouse</a> or <a href=\"https://www.webpagetest.org/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WebPageTest</a></span></p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h3 id=\"generate\">Generate and submit a sitemap</h3>\n<p>As we already know, search engines can find it hard to crawl Angular apps because much of the content is loaded dynamically with JavaScript. This can lead to some pages not getting indexed. The solution? Sitemaps. </p>\n<p>A sitemap gives search engines a full list of available URLs, which ensures that your content is found and ranked properly.</p>\n<p>Here are some ways you can generate a sitemap to boost Angular SEO:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>If you’re using SSR:</strong> Set up a server route that returns a sitemap XML. You can pull URLs from your routes configuration or a database if your pages are dynamic.</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>If your app is fully static:</strong> Use plugins or scripts to crawl and collect routes, then generate the sitemap during your build process.</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>For dynamic content:</strong> Loop through your content and add their URLs to the sitemap output.</span></p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Then:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Make sure the sitemap is accessible:</strong> Upload it to your domain (e.g., mydomain.com/sitemap.xml) and reference it in <code>robots.txt</code><strong>.</strong></span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Submit to search engines</strong>: Submit your sitemap to <a href=\"https://search.google.com/search-console/about\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Search Console</a>, <a href=\"https://www.bing.com/webmaster\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bing Webmaster Tools</a><strong>, </strong>and<strong> </strong>any other relevant platforms.</span></p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h3 id=\"configure\">Configure robots.txt and meta robots tags </h3>\n<p>Search engines follow rules defined in your <code>robots.txt</code> file and meta robots tags to decide which parts of your site to crawl and index. Here are some tips on how to set them properly:</p>\n<h4><em>Robots.txt:</em></h4>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place this file in the root of your domain (e.g., yourdomain.com/robots.txt)</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use it to allow or disallow access to paths or folders</span></p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h4><em>Meta robots tags:</em></h4>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add these tags in the <head> of your HTML to control indexing at the page level</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Useful for marking pages as <strong>noindex</strong>, <strong>nofollow</strong>, etc.</span></p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h2 id=\"best-seo-tools\">Best SEO tools for Angular developers</h2>\n<p>Finally, here are some tools that can help you test, audit, monitor, and improve your Angular SEO setup:</p>\n<h3>Google Search Console</h3>\n<p>A must-have for anyone running a website. Use it to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Submit your sitemap for indexing</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Track keyword performance and search visibility</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check for crawl errors, indexing issues, or mobile usability problems</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See which pages are getting impressions and clicks</span></p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Screaming Frog SEO Spider</h3>\n<p>A <a href=\"https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">desktop crawler</a> that lets you analyze your site like a search engine and catch any Angular SEO issues. Use it to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spot broken links or missing metadata</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify pages blocked by robots.txt</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See how your Angular routes are being rendered</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Export reports for technical SEO fixes</span></p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Lighthouse</h3>\n<p>An open-source tool that runs audits on performance and SEO. Use it to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Measure page speed and SEO scores</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get suggestions to fix slow-loading elements</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check for best practices like proper heading structure and image alt text</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify issues with mobile usability</span></p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Ahrefs/SEMrush </h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://ahrefs.com/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ahrefs</a> and <a href=\"https://www.semrush.com/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SEMrush</a> are popular SEO platforms that offer deep keyword and traffic insights. Use them to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Track your keyword rankings over time</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find content gaps and competitor opportunities</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See what backlinks your site has (and which ones you’ve lost)</span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monitor changes in traffic based on search algorithm updates</span></p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion</h2>\n<p>Now that you know how to make Angular SEO friendly, you can start building responsive SPAs that rank just as well as traditional server-rendered websites.

I get it. With so many options, it can feel overwhelming to choose. As someone who's spent their fair share of time deploying sites on these platforms, let me share what I've learned. </p>\n<p>Here's my honest take on which static site hosting works best for different situations:</p>\n<h3>Best for beginners</h3>\n<p><strong>GitHub Pages</strong> is the clear winner for beginners. I've found it incredibly simple to use. You can have your site up and running in minutes. Its direct integration with GitHub repositories means that if you can push to Git, you can deploy a website. The free tier makes it perfect for developers just starting with static sites, and the straightforward documentation walks you through every step.</p>\n<h3>Best for affordability</h3>\n<p><strong>Netlify's</strong> free tier offers an excellent balance of features and cost. With generous bandwidth allowances, form handling, and continuous deployment from Git, it provides tremendous value without spending a penny. In my experience, for most personal projects and small businesses, Netlify's free tier offers everything you need to get started.</p>\n<h3>Best for performance</h3>\n<p><strong>Vercel</strong> takes the crown for performance. Its global CDN, automatic image optimization, and serverless functions are specifically designed to deliver lightning-fast experiences. I've found that for Next.js and React applications in particular, Vercel's optimization is unmatched, making it the go-to choice for developers prioritizing speed and user experience.</p>\n<h3>Best for scalability</h3>\n<p><strong>Digital Ocean</strong> provides the most flexibility for scaling complex applications. While I haven't personally used this platform for static hosting, its reputation for providing complete control over infrastructure and the ability to integrate with various services makes it ideal for growing projects with changing requirements. The scalability options make it worth considering for long-term projects.</p>\n<h2>Cheapest static website hosting options</h2>\n<p>Are you watching your budget? Don't worry. You don't need to break the bank for quality hosting. I've tried most of these services myself and can help you get the most bang for your buck. </p>\n<p><strong>GitHub Pages tops my list. </strong>It's completely free with no bandwidth caps. I've used it for personal projects and portfolios with great success. Your code must be public unless you have a paid GitHub account.</p>\n<p><strong>Netlify's free tier balances cost and features with an intuitive interface</strong>. With 100GB monthly bandwidth and support for three websites, it costs nothing while offering built-in form handling that's perfect for business sites.</p>\n<p><strong>Vercel's hobby tier offers performance-optimized hosting for free</strong>. It also includes unlimited websites, automatic SSL, and preview deployments, which are premium features at no cost.</p>\n<p>If you can spend a little, <strong>Heroku's $7/month hobby plan stays active without sleeping after inactivity periods</strong>. It's less intuitive for static sites though.</p>\n<p><strong>Digital Ocean's $5/month starter plans provide excellent value when you need more control and scalability</strong>, though I haven't personally used it for static hosting.</p>\n<h2>The lowdown: Which one should you pick?</h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p><strong>On a budget.</strong> GitHub Pages is your free BFF, but watch out for those commercial use limits!</p>\n</li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p><strong>User-friendly.</strong> Netlify and Vercel are like the cool kids of hosting; they are easy to use and packed with features.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Feeling techy.</strong> DigitalOcean lets you flex those dev muscles with more control.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Need to grow.</strong> Consider how each option scales with your ambitions.</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Remember, it's like picking the perfect pair of shoes: comfort, style, and fit matter. Try on a few free tiers, see what feels right.</p>\n<p>The good news is that working with a composable architecture like <a href=\"/\" rel=\"follow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ButterCMS</a> means you can seamlessly integrate with any of these hosting solutions.
