Description

Summary

Some meta tags are pretty typical nowadays for SEO optimization and could easily be auto-generated.

Basic example

export default {
  metaInfo: { title: "My super SEO optimized page" }
}

could automatically add meta tags for twitter:title, og:title, etc. Same for "description".

Another example would be the canonical URL: <link rel="canonical" href="currentURL" /> which would be easy to generate using the current route.

Motivation

SEO optimization is important for many and at least useful for almost everyone else. It is also not hurting anyone to have it.

Research direction
This issue requests automatic generation of SEO meta tags (e.g., og:title, twitter:title) and canonical URLs based on the page title and current route. The implementation likely requires adding a plugin that hooks into Gridsome's meta info system. Review existing plugins for patterns, and check comments for any suggested approaches. No linked PRs exist, so the feature is open for implementation.
