Priority System

BAX uses a smart priority system for SEO metadata:

Priority Order

1. Post/Page specific (highest priority)
2. Site-wide config (fallback)
3. Default values (last resort)

This means you can set global values in config.zet and override them for specific posts or pages.

Example

# config.zet - Global values

SITE_TITLE:My Awesome Site

SITE_DESCRIPTION:This is my awesome static site

SITE_IMAGE:https://example.com/default-og.jpg

# data/post.zet - Override for this post

TITLE:My Special Post

DESC:This post has its own description

IMG:https://example.com/post-image.jpg

BAX automatically generates two essential SEO files:

Sitemap.xml

BAX generates a sitemap.xml that includes:

• All blog posts
• All static pages
• Tag pages
• Index pages with pagination
• Last modified dates
• Change frequencies
