10 Things You Should Include in Your site

10 Things You Should Include in Your site

Although your website has a lovely layout and a wealth of helpful information, there could yet be room for development in other areas. Does your website, for example, support Live Tiles? Can frequent visitors use their browsers to search your content? These are little details, but when used together, they can significantly impact your website.

1. Make a Live Tile for Windows 

People may pin your website as a live tile to their Windows start screen with Windows 8.1. Since this tile is dynamic, it will automatically retrieve fresh content from your website's RSS feed and could even display it as a notice.

To produce the meta tags that you may include in the HEAD of your website template, go to buildmypinnedsite.com, upload your site's logo, and enter the URL of your RSS feed.

2. Attach OpenSearch on your Site

Nowadays, the majority of online browsers allow you to search any website straight from the URL bar without using Google. To locate similar pages from a website, for example, you may type the URL of the website (deetsinfavour.space) into Google Chrome, hit the TAB key, and then write your search query.

The user's browser will automatically add your site's search engine the next time they visit it if you link to the OpenSearch XML (see example) from the HEAD of your website. More information about integrating OpenSearch into your website may be found on the Chromium website.

3. Attach a humans.txt file

You are aware of robots.txt, but humans.txt is another text file that is becoming more and more well-liked. The file, which should include details on the many individuals who created the website, must be placed in the root directory of your website.

4. Involve Touch Icons for Android & iOS 

You should upload touch icons for your website and these will be used when someone places a shortcut of your website on their mobile home screen. The touch icons may have your site’s logo or even the initials so that users can instantly relate them with your brand.

Use the iconogen tool to generate the various touch icons for Android and Apple devices. You can even go with a single touch icon and use redirection as mentioned in the WordPress optimization guide

5. Attach the Home screen Call out

If you've ever visited the Google Maps website on your iPad, you might have noticed a prompt directing you to the Safari browser's share button asking you to add a shortcut to the Maps website on the iOS home screen. This JavaScript widget allows you to incorporate similar functionality into your own website and works with both iOS Safari and Android Chrome. The messages can be displayed in multiple languages.

 6. Give Permission RSS Auto-discovery

RSS feeds are alive and there’s a section of Internet users who still prefer to read stories in their RSS Clients.

If your site offers RSS feeds, you need to include them in your website’s header so that browsers and RSS clients can auto-discover and subscribe to your feeds.

7. Develop Google+ Authorship 

Do it right now if you haven't already linked your website to Google+.

There are at least two benefits: first, your profile picture will begin to show up alongside your articles in Google search results, thus increasing click-through rates; second, Google might give articles associated with verified online profiles more weight, potentially leading to higher search rankings.

8. Put the Frame Breaker

When someone clicks on a link on a website that links to you, your pages can appear inside an IFRAME. This is what About.com does, and Digg's earlier iteration would also show external links within a browser window.

It could be wise to completely stop this from happening because you can't tell which websites are embedding your site's pages within IFRAMEs.

9. Insert QR Codes in your Print Stylesheet 

The issue with printed pages is that there is no simple method to connect the paper to the source, even if people do print online pages. How can one determine the source of a printed page?

QR Codes can be useful in this regard. When someone prints a page from your website, QR Codes will be attached if you make a small change to your print CSS. Afterwards, a mobile device may scan this QR code to access the original webpage.

10. Public your Website in the Chrome Store 

Millions of people use Google Chrome, and you might be shocked to hear how simple it is to create a Chrome app for your website that you can sell on the Chrome store.

Conclusion

"True optimization comes from include elements that increase usability, accessibility, and engagement, even if having a visually appealing website with rich information is crucial. Using features like RSS auto-discovery, OpenSearch, and Live Tiles guarantees that users can obtain material fast and simply. The mobile and offline experience is strengthened by features like touch icons, home screen call-outs, and QR codes, while legitimacy and trust are increased via Google+ authorship and humans.txt. The integrity of your website is protected by technical measures like frame breakers, and visibility is increased by publishing in the Chrome Store. Together, these minor yet significant aspects provide a clean, expert, and user-focused website that draws in and retains visitors".
