## [Why use Nuxt SEO Utils?](#why-use-nuxt-seo-utils)

Nuxt SEO Utils is a collection of defaults and utilities to improve your Nuxt site's discoverability and shareability.

While there are several features covering many aspects of SEO, it covers important defaults such as [automatic canonical URLs](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/nuxt/controlling-crawlers/canonical-urls) and [open graph tags](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/nuxt/mastering-meta/open-graph).

## [Features](#features)

### [Default Canonical URLs](#default-canonical-urls)

Automatically generate canonical URLs for all pages.

- Whitelisted query params with `canonicalQueryWhitelist`
- Lowercase URLs with respected trailing slash config

### [Metadata Files](#metadata-files)

Inspired by [Next.js Metadata Files](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata), this allows you to configure your head tags using metadata files.

- [Icons](https://nuxtseo.com/docs/seo-utils/guides/app-icons) and [Open Graph Images](https://nuxtseo.com/docs/seo-utils/guides/open-graph-images)

### [Breadcrumb composable](#breadcrumb-composable)

- Easily generate site-wide breadcrumb using the [`useBreadcrumbItems()`](https://nuxtseo.com/docs/seo-utils/api/breadcrumbs) composable (test).
- Integrates with Nuxt I18n and Nuxt Schema.org
- Plugs directly into [Nuxt UI Breadcrumb](https://ui.nuxt.com/navigation/breadcrumb)

### [✨ SEO meta in nuxt.config and route rules](#seo-meta-in-nuxtconfig-and-route-rules)

- [Nuxt Config SEO Meta](https://nuxtseo.com/docs/seo-utils/guides/nuxt-config-seo-meta)

### [🤖 Automatic OG Meta Tags](#automatic-og-meta-tags)

### [🧙 Validate and fix broken tags](#validate-and-fix-broken-tags)

Automatically fix broken tags, for example will ensure `og:image` is an absolute URL.

### [⚡ Extra head optimizations](#extra-head-optimizations)

- [Treeshake Plugin](https://unhead.unjs.io/plugins/plugins/vite-plugin)
- [Inline Minification](https://nuxtseo.com/docs/seo-utils/guides/minification): Automatically minify inline scripts (Rolldown/esbuild) and styles (lightningcss) at build time, with a lightweight runtime fallback for dynamic SSR

### [Best Practice Default Meta](#best-practice-default-meta)

- Canonical URLs will be automatically generated for all pages.
- Description and open-graph meta tags will be set for you. See [Default Meta](https://nuxtseo.com/docs/seo-utils/guides/default-meta) for more information.

### [Enhanced Titles](#enhanced-titles)

- Ensures that every page has a title by generating one from the last slug segment. See the [Fallback Title](https://nuxtseo.com/docs/seo-utils/guides/fallback-title) guide for more information.
