Topic: Very important Suggestions for Next Punbb version aka 1.4.3
It seems like development has stopped completely. i mean is even the 1.4.3 is being developed or not, if its developed then i have very important suggestions for it.
The first is about the SEO, i already posted my openion in this topic, i beleieve that the extension + my ideas should be merged in core.
http://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/ … optimizer/
Features:
- redirect urls between schemes to remove duplicate content.
- prevent from manual changing hardcoded links in forum when administrator change url scheme.
- removes "Page 1" from first page of list. Only second and more has "Page x"
Few suggestions if this extension is still developed:
1- Remove the forum title from topic, it makes that topic extra large, and its not needed to be in there anywhere, its all the the topic tile, having forums title in makes no sense, forums are like categories, where you are just suppose to post the topic in to have everything arranged.
2- Description in topics in search engines, can it be changed to first few lines of the topic instead of the description of the main forums. So this makes the description in the main forums only be showed on main page and forums page, while topic pages have first few lines from topic. This will make huge improvement in search engines.
3- Its about the posts and topics that are indexed in search engines, in most other forums software, the topics main link is indexed as far as i know, not the single posts in it, the posts are indexed with a topic like + something like #p5263636 so it scrolls down to that post. This will hugly improve SEO of the site, it will remove the many duplicate links and the results in the search engines will only contain the main topic links with that #243242 things.
Example:
Now:
Main topic link: http://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/ … optimizer/
Main topic first post link: http://punbb.informer.com/forums/post/142851/#p142851
Main topic second post link: http://punbb.informer.com/forums/post/142874/#p142874With my idea:
Main topic link: http://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/ … optimizer/
Main topic first post link: http://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/ … r/#p142851
Main topic second post link: http://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/ … r/#p1428744- In Google search engine results, there is always this "Skip to forum content." in the description, can you remove that please.
Lastly, to the developers of Punbb, these stuff should be implemented to the core, not as an extension, i mean SEO is an important thing, it shouldn't be ignored, it should be added to the core.
My Second idea is about the pagespeed, according to google, the forums are not cached and does have an expiry date for all the static contents, Static contents like JS, CSS and Images should be cached (leverage browser caching", it will increase the performance by alot, i mean alot.
