Summary

Implements a production-ready SEO validation system that scans the dist folder and ensures all built pages meet SEO standards. The checker validates 70+ rules across metadata, content, links, images, structured data, and internationalization.

Features

  • Automatically runs after every build via build:after script
  • Blocks deployment if critical SEO errors are found
  • Highly configurable with granular rule exclusions (fingerprint-based, file patterns, element patterns)
  • Smart filtering to skip error pages and redirects
  • Multiple output formats (console, JSON, SARIF for CI/CD integration)
  • Well-documented with clear fix hints for each rule

Configuration

  • seo-checker.config.json - Main configuration file with enabled/disabled rules
  • seo-checker.exclusions.json - Specific issue exclusions for legitimate cases

Current configuration disables non-critical rules to allow initial deployment. Rules can be gradually enabled as issues are fixed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds an SEO static checker integrated into the build pipeline with new config and exclusions files, new npm/bun scripts, documentation updates, and .gitignore entries for SEO report outputs; the checker runs post-build against site artifacts and locales.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
SEO Checker Configuration
seo-checker.config.json, seo-checker.exclusions.json
New config files: seo-checker.config.json specifies distPath, baseUrl, languages, defaultLanguage, large list of disabled rules, failOn, maxIssues, and outputFormat; seo-checker.exclusions.json adds schema reference, description, and an empty exclusions array.
Package Management & Build
package.json
Added scripts: seo:check, seo:check:json, seo:check:report, seo:check:local, seo:generate-config; added devDependency @capgo/seo-checker; updated build:after to run bun run repair_sitemap && bun run seo:check.
Documentation
CLAUDE.md
Inserted "SEO Static Checker" section after Project Structure, describing checks, config/exclusions format, and added CLI commands to Common Commands (bun run seo:check, seo:check:json, seo:check:report, etc.).
VCS Ignore
.gitignore
Replaced .DS_Store ignore entry (removed) and added ignores for seo-report.txt, seo-report.json, and seo-report.sarif.

🐰 I hopped through builds and checked each page,
Config in paw, I scanned each stage,
Reports I tolled and flags I found,
Quiet corrections, fixes sound,
Hooray — the site now earns applause.

21-21: Inconsistency between summary and code: .DS_Store still present.

The AI-generated summary claims that .DS_Store was removed, but it remains on Line 21 without a change marker. Please clarify whether the removal was intended but not reflected in the diff, or if the summary is inaccurate.


25-28: LGTM! SEO report outputs correctly excluded.

Adding ignore patterns for the three SEO report formats (.txt, .json, .sarif) is appropriate since these are generated artifacts that should not be committed. The patterns align with the SEO checker integration and the explicit file naming convention used in the checker output.

🧹 Nitpick comments (6)
scripts/seo-checker/parser.ts (2)

318-337: Async function uses synchronous filesystem APIs.

The findFiles function is declared async but internally uses fs.readdirSync. This works correctly but is misleading and doesn't provide the expected non-blocking behavior.

🔎 Proposed fix to use async filesystem APIs
-async function findFiles(dir: string, extension: string): Promise<string[]> {
+import { readdir } from 'node:fs/promises'
+
+async function findFiles(dir: string, extension: string): Promise<string[]> {
   const files: string[] = []
 
   async function walk(currentDir: string): Promise<void> {
-    const entries = fs.readdirSync(currentDir, { withFileTypes: true })
+    const entries = await readdir(currentDir, { withFileTypes: true })
 
     for (const entry of entries) {
       const fullPath = path.join(currentDir, entry.name)
 
       if (entry.isDirectory()) {
         await walk(fullPath)
       } else if (entry.isFile() && entry.name.endsWith(extension)) {
         files.push(fullPath)
       }
     }
   }
 
   await walk(dir)
   return files
 }

245-258: Double file read for small files.

Files under MAX_REDIRECT_SIZE are read twice: once via statSync for size, then via readFileSync for content. This is a minor inefficiency.

🔎 Proposed optimization
   for (const filePath of htmlFiles) {
-    // Skip very small files (likely error pages or placeholders)
     const stats = fs.statSync(filePath)
     if (stats.size < MIN_FILE_SIZE) {
       continue
     }
 
     // Skip redirect pages (small files with meta refresh)
     if (stats.size < MAX_REDIRECT_SIZE) {
       const content = fs.readFileSync(filePath, 'utf-8')
       if (content.includes('http-equiv="refresh"') || content.includes("http-equiv='refresh'")) {
         continue
       }
+      // Reuse already-read content for parsing
+      const pageData = parseHtmlFileFromContent(content, filePath, distPath, config)
+      pages.set(pageData.relativePath, pageData)
+      // ... continue with duplicate tracking
+      continue
     }
scripts/seo-checker/types.ts (1)

86-90: Consider memory implications of storing full HTML.

PageData.html stores the entire HTML content for each page. For large sites with hundreds/thousands of pages, this could lead to high memory consumption. Consider whether the full HTML is needed after initial parsing, or if it can be discarded once checks complete.

scripts/seo-checker/checks.ts (1)

11-74: Hardcoded language codes may miss valid BCP47 codes.

The VALID_LANG_CODES set contains common codes but BCP47 supports many more valid combinations. The fallback regex at line 925 helps but uses a simplified pattern that may not catch all valid codes.

Consider using a library like bcp-47 or bcp-47-match for robust validation, or document that this is an intentional subset for performance.

scripts/seo-checker/index.ts (1)

77-92: Consider deep merging severityOverrides and thresholdOverrides.

The disabled array is correctly concatenated, but severityOverrides and thresholdOverrides from the base config are completely replaced rather than merged. If this is intentional, consider adding a comment to clarify; otherwise:

🔎 Proposed fix for consistent deep merge
 function mergeConfig(
   base: SEOCheckerConfig,
   overrides: Partial<SEOCheckerConfig>
 ): SEOCheckerConfig {
   return {
     ...base,
     ...overrides,
     rules: {
       ...base.rules,
       ...overrides.rules,
       disabled: [...(base.rules?.disabled || []), ...(overrides.rules?.disabled || [])],
+      severityOverrides: {
+        ...(base.rules?.severityOverrides || {}),
+        ...(overrides.rules?.severityOverrides || {}),
+      },
+      thresholdOverrides: {
+        ...(base.rules?.thresholdOverrides || {}),
+        ...(overrides.rules?.thresholdOverrides || {}),
+      },
     },
     exclusions: [...(base.exclusions || []), ...(overrides.exclusions || [])],
     failOn: overrides.failOn || base.failOn,
   }
 }
scripts/seo-checker/exclusions.ts (1)

13-23: ReDoS risk in elementPattern regex — optional mitigation for trusted config.

Line 49 uses new RegExp(rule.elementPattern) directly from config. While the risk is low (patterns are maintainer-controlled in JSON files), if this tool ever accepts untrusted patterns, consider using re2 (node-re2 package) or adding static detection via redos-detector in CI to catch vulnerable regexes.

🔇 Additional comments (17)
.gitignore (1)

25-28: LGTM!

The SEO checker report outputs (text, JSON, SARIF) are correctly added to .gitignore to prevent build artifacts from being committed.

CLAUDE.md (1)

90-145: LGTM!

The SEO Static Checker documentation is comprehensive, covering validation categories, configuration files, exclusion patterns with specificity levels, and new CLI commands. The examples for exclusion rules are clear and instructive.

scripts/seo-checker/rules.ts (2)

1-19: LGTM!

The SEO rules catalog is well-structured with clear categorization. Each rule includes comprehensive metadata (id, category, name, scope, severity, fixHint, tags) enabling flexible rule management and reporting.


742-746: LGTM!

The RULE_MAP provides O(1) lookup by rule ID, and getRule safely returns undefined for missing rules, which is properly handled in consumers.

scripts/seo-checker/parser.ts (1)

14-146: LGTM!

The parseHtmlFile function comprehensively extracts SEO-relevant data including headings, links, images, JSON-LD, hreflangs, and meta tags. The error handling for malformed JSON-LD (storing _parseError flag) enables proper error reporting downstream.

scripts/seo-checker/types.ts (1)

1-192: LGTM!

The type definitions are comprehensive and well-documented with JSDoc comments. The interfaces provide a clear public API surface for the SEO checker modules.

scripts/seo-checker/checks.ts (2)

819-913: LGTM!

The checkDuplicates function correctly handles site-wide duplicate detection with smart handling of language variants for canonicals. The fingerprint generation for site-wide issues uses a consistent format.


929-955: LGTM!

The runPageChecks aggregator function provides a clean orchestration of all per-page checks.

seo-checker.config.json (1)

83-83: Clarify maxIssues: 0 semantics in config documentation.

The value 0 for maxIssues means "no limit"—the limit check is skipped when the value is falsy. While this is clear in the implementation (line 250: if (config.maxIssues && ...), consider adding a comment in seo-checker.config.json or documentation to clarify that 0 disables the limit and positive values enforce a hard threshold.

seo-checker.exclusions.json (1)

1-5: LGTM!

Clean initial exclusions configuration file with proper schema reference. The empty exclusions array is appropriate for initial deployment.

package.json (1)

16-20: LGTM!

Well-structured script additions with clear naming conventions. The build:after integration ensures SEO validation runs automatically post-build, and the multiple output format options (json, report) support CI/CD integration.

scripts/seo-checker/index.ts (1)

185-328: Solid implementation of the main SEO checker workflow.

The run() function is well-structured with proper configuration layering (defaults → file config → exclusions → CLI args), comprehensive error handling, and clear exit code logic based on failOn severities.

scripts/seo-checker/reporter.ts (3)

246-248: ANSI stripping regex is intentional - static analysis hint is a false positive.

The regex /\x1b\[[0-9;]*m/g correctly strips ANSI escape codes for file output. The \x1b (ESC) control character is necessary for matching ANSI sequences.


193-193: Verify that documentation pages exist for SARIF helpUri.

The helpUri references https://capgo.app/docs/seo/${ruleId} which may not exist. Consider either creating these documentation pages or using a placeholder that doesn't result in 404s.


165-227: Well-structured SARIF output format.

The SARIF report correctly implements the 2.1.0 schema with proper severity mapping, rule extraction, and fingerprint inclusion for result deduplication.

scripts/seo-checker/exclusions.ts (2)

95-104: Good use of Set for O(1) lookup of disabled rules.

Efficient implementation that avoids repeated array scans.


109-126: Defensive implementation with good fallback handling.

Correctly handles both array and object structures, and silently returns empty array on parse errors - appropriate for optional config files.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Incomplete implementation: aria-label check mentioned but not implemented.

The comment states "Check if it has an aria-label or contains an image with alt" but the code unconditionally creates an issue for empty anchor text. Links with aria-label or containing images with alt text are accessible and should not be flagged.

🔎 Proposed fix to account for accessible link patterns
     // SEO00135: Anchor text missing/empty
     if (!link.text || link.text.trim() === '') {
-      // Check if it has an aria-label or contains an image with alt
-      const issue = createIssue('SEO00135', page, { element: link.href })
-      if (issue) issues.push(issue)
+      // Note: This check cannot verify aria-label or nested img alt
+      // as PageData.links only stores text content. Consider enhancing
+      // the parser to capture accessibility attributes for more accurate detection.
+      // For now, this may produce false positives for icon-only links.
+      const issue = createIssue('SEO00135', page, { element: link.href })
+      if (issue) issues.push(issue)
     }

To properly fix this, enhance the parser to capture aria-label and check for images with alt text within links.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Potential out-of-bounds access when parsing CLI arguments.

When accessing args[++i], there's no validation that the next argument exists. If a user provides --config without a following value, the code will silently use undefined.

🔎 Proposed fix with bounds checking

       switch (args[i]) {
         case '--config':

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

maxIssues limit can be exceeded by duplicate checks.

The maxIssues short-circuit breaks out of the page loop, but checkDuplicates issues are added unconditionally afterward, potentially exceeding the configured limit.

🔎 Proposed fix
   // Run site-wide duplicate checks
-  const duplicateIssues = checkDuplicates(siteData, config)
-  allIssues.push(...duplicateIssues)
+  if (!config.maxIssues || allIssues.length < config.maxIssues) {
+    const duplicateIssues = checkDuplicates(siteData, config)
+    const remaining = config.maxIssues ? config.maxIssues - allIssues.length : duplicateIssues.length

In scripts/seo-checker/index.ts around lines 249 to 258, the loop breaks when
allIssues reaches config.maxIssues but subsequent site-wide duplicate issues are
appended unconditionally, which can exceed the limit; modify the code to respect
maxIssues by calculating remainingSlots = config.maxIssues - allIssues.length
(if config.maxIssues is set) and only append up to remainingSlots duplicates
(e.g., slice duplicateIssues to that length) and log that the max was reached if
not all duplicates could be added; if config.maxIssues is not set, append all
duplicates as before.

669-673: Misleading comment: aria-label check not implemented.

The comment states "Check if it has an aria-label or contains an image with alt" but the code unconditionally creates an issue for any empty link text. Links with aria-label or containing images with alt text are accessible and should not be flagged. This will produce false positives for icon-only links with proper accessibility attributes.

🔎 Recommended approach

Either:

  1. Update the comment to reflect the current behavior and acknowledge the limitation:
-    // SEO00135: Anchor text missing/empty
+    // SEO00135: Anchor text missing/empty
+    // Note: This check cannot verify aria-label or nested img alt attributes
+    // as PageData.links only captures text content. May produce false positives
+    // for accessible icon-only links.
     if (!link.text || link.text.trim() === '') {
-      // Check if it has an aria-label or contains an image with alt
       const issue = createIssue('SEO00135', page, { element: link.href })
       if (issue) issues.push(issue)
     }
  1. Or enhance the parser (scripts/seo-checker/parser.ts) to capture aria-label attributes in the link data structure and check them here.
🧹 Nitpick comments (3)
scripts/seo-checker/checks.ts (3)

1220-1260: Fragile rule ID string manipulation.

Lines 1237 and 1252 use ruleId.replace('382', '383') and ruleId.replace('382', '384') to derive rule IDs for different contexts. This approach has several issues:

  • Hardcoded assumption that all pattern ruleIds contain '382'
  • Silently fails if a pattern uses a different rule ID
  • Creates implicit coupling between PLACEHOLDER_PATTERNS data and transformation logic
🔎 More maintainable approaches

Option 1: Use context-specific rule IDs in the pattern data:

-const PLACEHOLDER_PATTERNS: [RegExp, string, string][] = [
-  [/lorem ipsum/i, 'lorem ipsum', 'SEO00382'],
+const PLACEHOLDER_PATTERNS: [RegExp, string, { title: string; desc: string; h1: string }][] = [
+  [/lorem ipsum/i, 'lorem ipsum', { title: 'SEO00382', desc: 'SEO00383', h1: 'SEO00384' }],
   // ...
 ]

Option 2: Create separate pattern arrays for each context:

const PLACEHOLDER_PATTERNS_TITLE: [RegExp, string, string][] = [
  [/lorem ipsum/i, 'lorem ipsum', 'SEO00382'],
  // ...
]
const PLACEHOLDER_PATTERNS_DESC: [RegExp, string, string][] = [
  [/lorem ipsum/i, 'lorem ipsum', 'SEO00383'],
  // ...
]

1101-1135: Consider avoiding issue mutation for dynamic schema checks.

Lines 1122 and 1130 mutate issue.ruleName after creation to customize the rule name for specific schema fields. While this works, it's unconventional to mutate properties after createIssue() returns, and it means the rule names in rules.json are ignored for these dynamic checks.

🔎 Alternative approach

Consider adding an optional parameter to createIssue for custom rule names:

function createIssue(
  ruleId: string,
  page: PageData,
  options: {
    element?: string
    actual?: string
    expected?: string
    line?: number
    customRuleName?: string
  } = {}
): SEOIssue | null {
  const rule = getRule(ruleId)
  if (!rule) return null

  return {
    ruleId,
    ruleName: options.customRuleName || rule.name,
    // ... rest of properties
  }
}

Then use it without mutation:

const issue = createIssue('SEO00232', page, {
  element: `${type}: missing '${field}'`,
  customRuleName: `Schema ${type}: missing '${field}'`
})
if (issue) issues.push(issue)

1328-1337: Semantic HTML check logic may not match intent.

Lines 1328-1330 flag pages that use <b> but have no <strong> tags. However, a page with 100 <b> tags and one <strong> tag won't be flagged, even though it's using non-semantic markup extensively. The rule name "Using instead of " suggests the intent is to discourage <b> in favor of semantic <strong>, but the current logic only catches pages that exclusively use <b>.

🔎 More accurate detection

Consider one of these approaches:

Option 1: Flag any use of <b> regardless of <strong> presence:

-  // SEO00416: Using <b> instead of <strong>
-  if (/<b[^>]*>/.test(page.html) && !/<strong[^>]*>/.test(page.html)) {
+  // SEO00416: Using <b> instead of <strong>
+  if (/<b[^>]*>/.test(page.html)) {
     const issue = createIssue('SEO00416', page)
     if (issue) issues.push(issue)
   }

Option 2: Flag excessive <b> usage (e.g., more than 5 instances):

const bCount = (page.html.match(/<b[^>]*>/gi) || []).length
if (bCount > 5) {
  const issue = createIssue('SEO00416', page, { actual: `${bCount} <b> tags` })
  if (issue) issues.push(issue)
}

1-24: LGTM!

Clean and straightforward implementation. The module provides a simple, type-safe API for loading and querying SEO rules with efficient lookup helpers.

scripts/seo-checker/exclusions.ts (1)

1-169: LGTM! Static analysis warnings are false positives.

The exclusion system implementation is solid. Both regex construction sites (lines 21 and 54) are properly wrapped in try-catch blocks that gracefully handle invalid patterns, making the ReDoS warnings from static analysis false positives. The implementation correctly handles fingerprint matching, glob patterns, and element patterns with appropriate specificity ordering.

scripts/seo-checker/checks.ts (2)

1-122: LGTM!

The constants, data structures, and helper functions are well-organized. The fingerprinting approach provides stable identifiers for exclusion matching, and the createIssue helper properly centralizes issue construction logic.


124-668: Comprehensive SEO check implementation.

The check functions are well-structured and cover a broad range of SEO concerns including metadata, HTML validity, content quality, links, images, social tags, internationalization, structured data, and accessibility. The implementation properly uses the createIssue helper for consistent issue reporting and handles edge cases appropriately.

1-24: LGTM!

Clear documentation header with all CLI options, and imports follow modern Node.js conventions using the node: prefix for built-ins.


195-232: LGTM!

Config loading follows a sensible precedence (defaults → file → CLI args), and the dist folder validation provides helpful guidance for users.


338-342: LGTM!

Error handling at the entry point is appropriate, ensuring the process exits with a non-zero code on unexpected failures.

SARIF format not handled for console output.

In scripts/seo-checker/index.ts around lines 302 to 307, console output does not
handle the 'sarif' outputFormat and falls back to printReport(result); update
the conditional to explicitly handle 'sarif' by serializing the SARIF report the
same way the file writer does (e.g., call the existing SARIF
formatter/serializer used at line 311 or JSON.stringify the SARIF object) and
console.log that serialized SARIF output; keep existing branches for 'json' and
default console printReport for human-readable output.

- Rewrite parser.ts with parallel file I/O using fs/promises
- Add parallel directory traversal for faster file discovery
- Process HTML files in batches of 200 for optimal memory usage
- Add file existence caching to avoid redundant filesystem checks
- Run page checks in parallel batches of 500 with setImmediate
- Execute site-wide checks (duplicates, robots, sitemap) concurrently

Performance: ~109s for 6085 pages (previously ~142s)

109-132: Out-of-bounds access when parsing CLI arguments.

This issue was already identified in a previous review. When accessing args[++i], there's no validation that the next argument exists.


277-280: maxIssues limit can be exceeded by site-wide checks.

This issue was already identified in a previous review. The loop breaks when allIssues.length >= config.maxIssues, but lines 287-293 unconditionally add duplicate, robots, and sitemap issues afterward.


330-335: SARIF format not handled for console output.

This issue was already identified in a previous review. When outputFormat is 'sarif', the code falls through to printReport(result) instead of handling SARIF specifically.

🧹 Nitpick comments (7)
scripts/seo-checker/index.ts (3)

64-72: Improve error reporting for config loading failures.

The loadConfig function catches all errors and returns an empty object, which silently ignores important issues like permission errors, invalid JSON syntax, or file system failures. Consider logging more specific error details or differentiating between "file not found" (acceptable) and other errors (problematic).

🔎 Suggested improvement
 function loadConfig(configPath: string): Partial<SEOCheckerConfig> {
   try {
     const content = fs.readFileSync(configPath, 'utf-8')
     return JSON.parse(content)
   } catch (error) {
-    console.error(`Failed to load config from ${configPath}:`, error)
+    if ((error as NodeJS.ErrnoException).code === 'ENOENT') {
+      // File not found is acceptable
+      return {}
+    }
+    console.error(`Failed to load config from ${configPath}:`)
+    if (error instanceof SyntaxError) {
+      console.error('  Invalid JSON syntax')
+    } else {
+      console.error(` ${(error as Error).message}`)
+    }
     return {}
   }
 }

287-291: False parallelism: wrapping synchronous functions doesn't parallelize them.

The site-wide checks (checkDuplicates, checkRobotsTxt, checkSitemap) are synchronous functions wrapped in Promise.resolve() and passed to Promise.all(). This doesn't actually execute them in parallel—they still run sequentially within the event loop. While this doesn't affect correctness, it creates misleading code that suggests parallelism where none exists.

💡 Suggested approach

If these functions are truly synchronous and cannot be made async, simply call them sequentially:

- const [duplicateIssues, robotsIssues, sitemapIssues] = await Promise.all([
-   Promise.resolve(checkDuplicates(siteData, config)),
-   Promise.resolve(checkRobotsTxt(config)),
-   Promise.resolve(checkSitemap(config, siteData)),
- ])
+ const duplicateIssues = checkDuplicates(siteData, config)
+ const robotsIssues = checkRobotsTxt(config)
+ const sitemapIssues = checkSitemap(config, siteData)

Alternatively, if you anticipate making these async in the future, document that intent with a comment.


87-87: Potential duplicate entries in disabled rules array.

The mergeConfig function concatenates the disabled arrays from base and overrides without deduplication. While this doesn't break functionality (filtering an issue multiple times is harmless), it's inefficient and could clutter debugging output.

🔎 Optional deduplication
       disabled: [...(base.rules?.disabled || []), ...(overrides.rules?.disabled || [])],
+      // Or use a Set to deduplicate:
+      // disabled: [...new Set([...(base.rules?.disabled || []), ...(overrides.rules?.disabled || [])])],
scripts/seo-checker/parser.ts (4)

145-146: Word count calculation may be inaccurate for non-space-separated languages.

The word count splits on whitespace (mainText.split(/\s+/)), which works for space-separated languages like English but will undercount or miscount for languages like Chinese, Japanese, or Thai that don't use spaces between words. Since the SEO checker supports multiple languages (lines 32-47 in index.ts list ja, ko, zh), this could produce misleading metrics for those locales.

Consider either:

  1. Documenting this limitation in the word count metric
  2. Using a more sophisticated word counting approach for CJK languages
  3. Providing language-specific word count logic based on the page's htmlLang attribute
💡 Example language-aware approach
  // Calculate word count - fast path
+ const htmlLang = $('html').attr('lang')?.split('-')[0]
+ const isCJK = htmlLang && ['zh', 'ja', 'ko'].includes(htmlLang)
  const mainText = $('main').text() || $('body').text()
- const wordCount = mainText.split(/\s+/).filter(w => w.length > 0).length
+ const wordCount = isCJK
+   ? mainText.replace(/\s+/g, '').length // Character count for CJK
+   : mainText.split(/\s+/).filter(w => w.length > 0).length

234-237: Redirect detection only checks http-equiv="refresh" with basic string matching.

The redirect detection on line 236 uses a simple .includes() check for http-equiv="refresh". This may miss:

  • Variations in attribute order or whitespace: http-equiv = "refresh" or http-equiv='REFRESH'
  • JavaScript-based redirects: window.location.href = or window.location.replace()
  • Other meta refresh patterns

While the current approach is fast, it could result in processing redirect pages as regular pages, potentially generating false positives in SEO checks.

💡 More robust redirect detection
        if (stats.size < MAX_REDIRECT_SIZE) {
          const content = await fsp.readFile(filePath, 'utf-8')
-         if (content.includes('http-equiv="refresh"') || content.includes("http-equiv='refresh'")) {
+         const hasMetaRefresh = /http-equiv\s*=\s*["']?refresh["']?/i.test(content)
+         const hasJSRedirect = /window\.location\.(href|replace)/i.test(content)
+         if (hasMetaRefresh || hasJSRedirect) {
            return null
          }
          return { path: filePath, size: stats.size, content }

33-39: Module-level baseHostname cache could cause issues with config changes.

The baseHostname variable is cached at module level (line 13) and only set once on the first call to parseHtmlFile. If the same process were to parse files with different config.baseUrl values, the cached hostname would be stale. However, in the current usage pattern (single config per process run), this is unlikely to be an issue.

Consider either:

  1. Documenting this assumption in a comment
  2. Invalidating the cache when a new baseUrl is detected
  3. Making baseHostname part of the function scope or passed as a parameter
💡 Cache invalidation approach
  // Cache base hostname for URL checks
- if (baseHostname === null) {
+ const currentBaseUrl = config.baseUrl
+ if (baseHostname === null || baseHostname !== currentBaseUrl) {
    try {
-     baseHostname = new URL(config.baseUrl).hostname
+     baseHostname = new URL(currentBaseUrl).hostname
    } catch {
      baseHostname = ''
    }
  }

Note: This would require tracking the baseUrl as well, not just the hostname.


380-392: Synchronous file system call in fileExists could block event loop.

The fileExists function uses fs.accessSync, which is synchronous and blocks the event loop. In a build tool processing thousands of files, this could impact performance despite caching. Given that this codebase uses async/await patterns elsewhere (e.g., scanDistFolder), consider using an async version.

🔎 Async alternative
/**
 * Check if a file exists at the given path (cached)
 */
-export function fileExists(filePath: string): boolean {
+export async function fileExists(filePath: string): Promise<boolean> {
  const cached = fileExistsCache.get(filePath)
  if (cached !== undefined) return cached

  try {
-   fs.accessSync(filePath, fs.constants.F_OK)
+   await fsp.access(filePath, fs.constants.F_OK)
    fileExistsCache.set(filePath, true)
    return true
  } catch {
    fileExistsCache.set(filePath, false)
    return false
  }
}

Note: This would require updating all call sites to use await.

1-432: LGTM: Efficient parallel HTML parsing implementation.

The parallel processing approach with batching (HTML files: 200, stats: 500) strikes a good balance between concurrency and memory usage. The caching strategy for file existence and base hostname improves performance for repeated checks. The extraction logic using cheerio is comprehensive and covers the major SEO metadata requirements.

scripts/seo-checker/index.ts (1)

248-267: No action needed — setImmediate is fully supported in Bun.

Bun implements setImmediate as part of its Node.js compatibility layer and the behavior is consistent with Node.js expectations. The code pattern used here (deferring work with setImmediate to allow other operations) is valid and works correctly in Bun. No changes are required.

Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.

- Replace custom scripts/seo-checker with @capgo/seo-checker package
- Update package.json scripts to use seo-checker CLI
- Configure failOn to include warnings (stricter CI)
- Remove old seo-checker scripts folder

seo-checker.config.json (3)

1-21: LGTM! Comprehensive i18n configuration.

The base configuration correctly specifies the dist path, base URL, and extensive language support for 15 locales.


83-84: Strict failOn configuration will block builds on warnings.

The failOn: ["error", "warning"] setting combined with build:after executing seo:check means any SEO warning will fail the build and block deployment. While the PR description mentions "blocks deployment if critical SEO errors are found," this configuration is stricter—it blocks on warnings too. Verify this aligns with your intended CI/CD behavior, especially during the initial rollout phase.

Consider starting with failOn: ["error"] to allow warnings without blocking, then gradually tighten to include warnings once the initial issues are resolved.


23-78: The original concern about non-existent rule IDs applies to the previous custom implementation, not the current @capgo/seo-checker package. The package is legitimate and published on npm, confirming the SEO00XXX rule ID format. However, the package README does not provide a complete enumeration of all supported rule IDs, making it impossible to definitively verify each of the 55 disabled rules without access to the tool's complete rule catalog.

The configuration's intent to disable rules for "initial deployment" remains valid context. Consider documenting why these specific rules are disabled if not already captured elsewhere.

package.json (2)

16-16: SEO check now blocks deployments via build:after.

Chaining seo:check in build:after means the build will fail if SEO validation fails. Combined with failOn: ["error", "warning"] in the config, any SEO warning will block deployment. Ensure your team is prepared for potential build failures and has a process to address SEO issues promptly.

Consider testing this locally with bun run build:after before merging to verify it doesn't unexpectedly break CI/CD pipelines.


17-20: LGTM! Well-structured SEO validation scripts.

The new scripts provide flexible SEO checking options (console, JSON, report formats) and config generation. The commands are documented in CLAUDE.md and follow standard CLI patterns.

@capgo/[email protected] is the brand-new, first-ever release of this package—consider the risk of using it in a deployment-blocking context.

This package was published only hours ago and has no release history. Using a completely untested, newly-published package in your build:after hook creates significant risk: any latent bugs discovered later could block all deployments. Consider either thoroughly testing this version in non-blocking scenarios first, deferring its use until the package has multiple releases and proven stability, or restructuring your build process so SEO checker failures don't block deployments.
