📘 Guide: Forum SEO in 2026 — the 12-point DF checklist

📘 The DF Guide — SEO that actually moves forums

1. One H1 per page, keyword-first.
   
2. Descriptive thread titles ('Cashfree gateway for MyBB 1.8' beats 'Help!!!').
   
3. og: tags per thread (subject + excerpt + image).
   
4. Canonical URLs everywhere; kill duplicate pages.
   
5. Internal links: guides → product threads → vault.
   
6. Fast first paint: lazy images, deferred scripts.
   
7. Schema: DiscussionForumPosting on threads.
   
8. Sitemap weekly, not monthly.
   
9. Answer-format threads ('How to X') — AI search loves them.
   
10. Evergreen listicles refreshed quarterly.
    
11. No dead links: quarterly link audit.
    
12. Human content velocity: daily threads beat monthly essays.
