SEO & Performance

Updated Sep 27, 2026Ship

Optimize your published site for search engines and speed.

Automatic SEO

Airbuild generates SEO-friendly code by default:

  • Semantic HTML (header, main, nav, footer, article)
  • Proper heading hierarchy (h1 → h2 → h3)
  • Alt text on images
  • Responsive meta viewport tag

Asking the AI for SEO

You can ask the AI to optimize further:

  • "Add SEO meta tags to all pages"
  • "Add Open Graph tags for social sharing"
  • "Optimize the page titles and descriptions"
  • "Add structured data markup for the FAQ section"
  • "Create a sitemap.xml"

Performance

Airbuild-generated sites are fast by default:

  • Code splitting — Only load what's needed
  • Lazy loading — Images load on scroll
  • Vite build — Optimized production bundles
  • CDN delivery — Global edge caching via CloudFront

Tips for Better SEO

  • Use descriptive page titles ("Pricing | YourApp" not just "Page 2")
  • Ask the AI to add meta descriptions to each page
  • Use proper heading structure (one h1 per page)
  • Add alt text to all images
  • Include internal links between pages
  • Keep important content above the fold

Social Sharing

Ask the AI to add Open Graph tags:

  • "Add og:title, og:description, and og:image tags for social sharing"
  • The AI generates proper meta tags in the HTML head

A link to a published site already renders as a preview card when it is shared. The og: tags are how you control what that card says and shows, rather than leaving it to whatever the page happens to contain.

What Actually Ships

A published site is a static production build on a CDN, with HTTPS from the first publish — there is no server rendering step to tune and no cache to warm. Page weight, the number of requests and how much JavaScript a route pulls in are therefore the levers that matter, and they are decided in the code the agent writes. Ask for them directly:

  • "Split the dashboard route so the chart library is not in the initial bundle"
  • "Serve the hero image in WebP with explicit width and height"

The pre-publish code-quality gate also reports performance traps it finds in the generated code — see Quality Assurance.

On Your Own Domain

Search engines index the address people actually visit. If the site is meant to live on your own domain, set that up before you start collecting links — see Custom Domains.
