Search and sharing

What Foldocs adds for search engines, link previews and feed readers.

Search engines

Every page has a title (Themes · Foldocs), a description from its subtitle or first lines, and an address of its own (/guide/going-further/colors-and-fonts/). A sitemap lists every page with the day it last changed, so search engines know what is new.

Pages also describe themselves in structured data: who the site is by, which page is a post and when it was published, and the breadcrumbs to each. Search engines use it for richer results.

A link pasted into a chat or a post shows a preview with the page's title, description and image: its first picture, or the theme's share image.

Feed

The newest pages are in a feed. A feed reader given the site's address picks up new documents from it.

Accessibility and size

  • Meets WCAG 2.2 AA: contrast, headings, landmarks, a skip link, visible focus and alt text
  • Designed for phones first, with a dark mode that follows the device
  • About 100 kilobytes a page, with images sized for the screen

Drafts

While a site is a draft, one setting (NOINDEX) asks search engines not to index any of its pages.
