Code Validation, Tracking, and Localization

When it comes to maintaining a high-quality website, every detail matters. Recently, I tackled some important tasks to improve SEO-Saurus, including code validation, implementing tracking, and translating the website. Here's a closer look at what I did and why it’s essential for optimizing the website.

Code Validation for Clean and Accessible HTML

I started by running SEO-Saurus through the HTML validator at https://validator.w3.org. This tool highlighted several important issues that needed attention. One of the key problems was empty target attributes in menu links, which could potentially cause accessibility issues and unexpected behavior for users. To fix this, I added a condition to ensure the target attribute is only included when it has a defined value, keeping the code cleaner and more functional.

Implementing Tracking with LUX

For the first step into user tracking, I installed the LUX extension for TYPO3 (https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/lux). This tool allows me to track user interactions on the site, helping me understand visitor behavior and measure the effectiveness of different sections of SEO-Saurus. As I continue to develop the website, LUX will be a valuable resource for refining content and improving user experience.

Translating TYPO3 to Czech with Crowdin

To make the website accessible to Czech-speaking editors, I started translating the TYPO3 core using Crowdin. This online tool is perfect for managing translations, making it easy to adapt TYPO3 backend to multiple languages.

Moving Forward

These updates mark important steps in making SEO-Saurus more polished, user-friendly, and accessible. Regular code validation helps maintain a solid technical foundation, tracking provides insights for continuous improvement, and translation expands the website's reach. I look forward to continuing this optimization journey and sharing more progress along the way!
