Frequently asked questions

Should I use next-seo with the App Router?

No. Use the native Metadata API provided by Next.js instead.

How do I handle viewport settings in metadata?

Export viewport as a separate object. Do not include it inside the metadata object.

Can I block /_next/ in robots.txt?

No. Crawlers require access to render-critical CSS and JS files located in that directory.

How do I measure Core Web Vitals accurately?

Use PageSpeed Insights and the Search Console CWV report. Lighthouse is lab-only and cannot measure INP.
