# SEO

> Overview of SEO optimizations and best practices.

Paragraph is built to maximize your publication’s visibility in search engines and LLM/AI models, so your writing can be discovered by the widest possible audience.

### **How Paragraph optimizes SEO**

* **Static rendering** — all pages are rendered statically for ultra-fast loading and strong crawlability.
* **Optimized images** — uploaded images are automatically resized, compressed, and blurred before loading to reduce layout shift.
* **Shared domain authority** — instead of subdomains, your publication lives on the root [paragraph.com](http://paragraph.com) domain, giving your posts the benefit of Paragraph’s overall SEO strength.
* **Clean metadata** — we auto-generate meta tags, open graph data, and descriptive post slugs. You can override these in post settings for more control.
* **Sitemap integration** — every publication and post is included in sitemaps, making it easy for crawlers to index your work.
* **Core Web Vitals** — Paragraph is tuned for CLS, LCP, and other performance metrics that boost rankings.

### **Recent enhancements**

* Expanded sitemaps, including dedicated **Google News sitemaps** for faster news indexing.
* Optimized robots.txt to remove low-value or restricted pages from crawlers.
* Added llms.txt files for Paragraph and each publication, guiding LLMs in how to best crawl your posts.
