Technical SEO for React and Vite Websites
A React website needs crawlable content, useful URLs and correct HTTP behavior. Client-side rendering alone is not proof of an indexing failure, but prerendering important pages can make their content more reliably available.
What to do first
Check the initial HTML and rendered page for the title, primary content and real links.
Implementation and review
- Give each meaningful page a stable URL, accurate canonical and appropriate status code.
- Validate robots, sitemap, metadata and mobile rendering on the deployed host.
What to watch for
An SPA fallback can turn missing pages or SEO files into misleading 200 responses. Test real requests rather than relying on the development preview.
A practical example to work through
Request a deep page, a missing page, robots.txt and the sitemap directly from the production host. Check the status, content type and actual response body. A preview that renders correctly after navigation can hide a deployment that returns the homepage for every request. Correct routing and content delivery before treating an indexing problem as a keyword or schema issue.
