  description

  The Airfield SEO extension surfaces SEO metadata sourced from the server-side rendered (SSR) version of the page, which is what Google actually looks at. Pretty much every other SEO extension looks at the client-side rendered (CSR) version of the page, which is not ideal, as Google may choose not to execute Javascript and so will be seeing the SSR version.
  
  There are 10 benefits to this extension that other SEO extensions don't have:
  
  1. SSR not CSR (discussed above)
  
  2. Persistent panel. How many times have you looked at an SEO extension, then at Jira/Confluence, and then back to your web page, only to find the extension closed on you? Happens to me every day. That's why I built this one to have a persistent panel that always stays open (unless you want it closed).
  
  3. One-click copy for any field. This just saves you time. Want to paste the SEO headline into Slack? Now you can copy it in one-click. And you don't have to use "Paste Special" either — it's plain text.
  
  4. Clickable URLs. All URLs in the Airfield SEO extension are clickable—canonicals, hreflangs, you name it. Again, this just saves time when you do it multiple times a day.
  
  5. Automatic canonical status check. Many SEO extensions show you the canonical URL. This one also shows you if that canonical actually resolves i.e. has a status code of 200. One less task for you.
  
  6. Canonical header checks. All the other SEO extensions I’ve used only show you the canonical meta tag. None of them also check for a canonical header. Now, to be fair, canonicals are mostly implemented as meta tags, not headers. But it does happen, especially in enterprise SEO. The last thing you want is to be caught out with conflicting canonicals across the meta tag and header. The Airfield SEO extension solves for that.
  
  7. Noindex header checks. Same thing applies for noindex tags—most/all extensions only check the robots meta tag. But—and this is especially true in enterprise SEO—there are webpages that use an X-Robots-Tag Header to apply a noindex directive. And again, the last thing you want is to be caught out. Get the extension that shows you both—Airfield.
  
  8. Redirect path built in. The Airfield SEO extension shows you if any redirects occurred before you got to the final page. This is handy if you’re clicking around a site you work on—it makes it very clear if your internal linking hygiene could be improved.
  
  9. Single-column layout. Many other SEO extensions use a tab-style layout. I always found this clunky—I want everything in a single layout so I can run my SEO checks in a single glance.
  
  10. Show me the Open Graph (Facebook) image. Most SEO extensions that show OpenGraph data only tell you the URL of the og:image. If you want to actually see the image (to confirm it’s correct), that’s an extra click or two. Not here. The Airfield SEO extension actually shows you the og:image. Again, one less task for you.
