// src/components/SchemaMarkup.astro
import type { Thing, WithContext } from 'schema-dts';

interface Props {
  schema: WithContext<Thing>;
}

const { schema } = Astro.props;
---
<script type="application/ld+json" set:html={JSON.stringify(schema)} />
```

**Schema Types to Implement**:

1. **Organization Schema** (on every page):
```json
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "SoftwareApplication",
  "name": "Picture",
  "applicationCategory": "MultimediaApplication",
  "operatingSystem": "iOS, Android, Web",
  "offers": {
    "@type": "Offer",
    "price": "0",
    "priceCurrency": "USD"
  },
  "aggregateRating": {
    "@type": "AggregateRating",
    "ratingValue": "4.9",
    "ratingCount": "1247"
  }
}
```

2. **FAQ Schema** (FAQ collection pages):
```json
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "FAQPage",
  "mainEntity": [{
    "@type": "Question",
    "name": "Is AI-generated content copyright-free?",
    "acceptedAnswer": {
      "@type": "Answer",
      "text": "..."

  "author": {
    "@type": "Person",
    "name": "Sarah Chen"
  }
}
```

---

### 2. Enhanced Sitemap

**Current**: Basic sitemap
**Recommended**: Dynamic sitemap with priorities and change frequencies

```typescript
// src/pages/sitemap.xml.ts
export async function GET() {
  const features = await getCollection('features');
  const testimonials = await getCollection('testimonials');
  const useCases = await getCollection('useCases');
  const tutorials = await getCollection('tutorials');
  const faqs = await getCollection('faqs');
  const comparisons = await getCollection('comparisons');

  // Generate sitemap with priorities:
  // Homepage: 1.0, daily
  // Features: 0.8, weekly
  // Tutorials: 0.7, monthly
  // Blog: 0.6, weekly
  // FAQs: 0.5, monthly
}
```

---

### 3. OpenGraph Images

**Implementation**: Auto-generate OG images for each collection item

```typescript
// src/pages/og/[collection]/[slug].png.ts
import { getCollection } from 'astro:content';
import satori from 'satori';
import sharp from 'sharp';

export async function GET({ params }) {
  const { collection, slug } = params;
  const entry = await getEntry(collection, slug);

  // Generate beautiful OG image with:
  // - Entry title
  // - Category badge
  // - Picture branding
  // - Gradient background

  const svg = await satori(/* JSX template */);
  const png = await sharp(Buffer.from(svg)).png().toBuffer();

  return new Response(png, {
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'image/png' }
  });
}
```

---

### 4. Canonical URLs

**Implementation**: Add canonical tags to prevent duplicate content

```astro
---
// src/layouts/BaseLayout.astro
const canonicalURL = new URL(Astro.url.pathname, Astro.site);
---
<link rel="canonical" href={canonicalURL} />
```

---

### 5. Breadcrumbs

**SEO Value**: Helps Google understand site structure

```astro
---
// src/components/Breadcrumbs.astro
interface Props {
  items: Array<{ label: string; href: string }>;
}
---
<nav aria-label="Breadcrumb">
  <ol itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/BreadcrumbList">
    {items.map((item, index) => (
      <li itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope
          itemtype="https://schema.org/ListItem">
        <a itemprop="item" href={item.href}>
          <span itemprop="name">{item.label}</span>
        </a>
        <meta itemprop="position" content={String(index + 1)} />
      </li>
    ))}
  </ol>
</nav>
```

---

### 6. Internal Linking Strategy

**Implementation**: Automated related content suggestions

```typescript
// src/utils/relatedContent.ts
export async function getRelatedContent(
  currentEntry: CollectionEntry,
  limit = 3
): Promise<CollectionEntry[]> {
  // Algorithm:
  // 1. Same category (highest weight)
  // 2. Shared tags/keywords
  // 3. Similar difficulty level
  // 4. Same language
  // 5. Recency

  return relatedEntries.slice(0, limit);
}
```

**Related Content Sections**:
- Features → Related tutorials, use cases
- Tutorials → Related features, FAQs
- Use Cases → Related features, case studies
- FAQs → Related tutorials, features
- Comparisons → Related use cases, tutorials

---

### 7. Core Web Vitals Optimization

**Current Status**: Check with Lighthouse
**Recommendations**:

1. **Image Optimization**:
   - Use `<Image>` component from `astro:assets`
   - WebP format with fallbacks
   - Lazy loading below the fold
   - Responsive images with `srcset`

2. **Font Optimization**:
   - Preload critical fonts
   - Use `font-display: swap`
   - Subset fonts to reduce size

3. **JavaScript Optimization**:
   - Client-side hydration only when needed
   - Use `client:visible` for below-fold components
   - Minimize third-party scripts

4. **CSS Optimization**:
   - Critical CSS inline
   - Defer non-critical CSS
   - Purge unused Tailwind classes
