Adding dynamic meta tags to a React app without SSR
Blog post from LogRocket
The text provides a detailed guide on implementing dynamic meta tags for a React application without server-side rendering, using a Node/Express backend. It highlights the importance of meta tags for SEO and social media sharing, explaining how static tags can be added directly into the index.html file and dynamic tags can be handled server-side. The example scenario involves a blog created with Create React App, where different posts require unique meta tags based on URL parameters. The process involves setting up a Node/Express server to inject these meta tags before sending the HTML to the client. The guide also covers testing the implementation locally and through public URLs using tools like localtunnel, as well as deploying the app on Heroku. Finally, it emphasizes the need for security measures if using this approach in production and suggests using LogRocket for tracking React errors.
