*Replacing some features of Yoast or SEMrush for Django & Django-CMS users.*

In other words, django-check-seo will tell you if you have problems concerning a broad range of SEO aspects of your pages.

# Install

*Only for django >= 2.2 & python >= 3.7, see [here](https://github.com/kapt-labs/django-check-seo/tree/python2) for a python2/django 1.8-1.11 version (tl;dr: install version <0.6).*

1. Install the module from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/django-check-seo/):

    ```

    python3 -m pip install django-check-seo

    ```

2. Add it in your `INSTALLED_APPS`:

    ```

        "django_check_seo",

    ```

3. Add this in your `urls.py` *(if you're using django-cms, put it before the `cms.urls` line or it will not work)*:

    ```

        path("django-check-seo/", include("django_check_seo.urls")),

    ```

4. Update your Django [Site](https://i.imgur.com/pNRsKs7.png) object parameters with a working url (here's an [example](https://i.imgur.com/IedF3xE.png) for dev environment).

5. Add `testserver` (and maybe `www.testserver`) to your `ALLOWED_HOSTS` list in your settings.py (django-check-seo uses the Test Framework in order to get content, instead of doing an HTTP request).

6. ![**new in 1.0.0**](https://img.shields.io/badge/new_in-1.0.0-green) Add the permission (`use_django_check_seo`) to the users/groups you want to give access to.

7. *(optional) Configure the settings (see [config](#config)).*

8. ![that's all folks!](https://i.imgur.com/o2Tcd2E.png)

# Misc

This application needs `beautifulsoup4` (>=4.7.0) and `djangocms_page_meta` *(==0.8.5 if using django < 1.11)*. It may be used with or without `django-cms` (a django-check-seo button will appear in the topbar if you're using django-cms).

If you're not using Django CMS (only Django), here's the link format to access your pages reports:

```

https://example.com/django-check-seo/?page=/example-page/

  -> will check https://example.com/example-page/

https://example.com/fr/django-check-seo/?page=/example-page/

  -> will check https://example.com/example-page/

     (using localized url (if you add django-check-seo in i18n_patterns))

```

----

# Config

## Basic settings

The basic config (used by default) is located in [`django-check-seo/conf/settings.py`](https://github.com/kapt-labs/django-check-seo/blob/master/django_check_seo/conf/settings.py#L5-L15) and looks like this:

```python

DJANGO_CHECK_SEO_SETTINGS = {

    "content_words_number": [300, 600],

    "internal_links": 1,

    "external_links": 1,

    "meta_title_length": [30, 60],

    "meta_description_length": [50, 160],

    "keywords_in_first_words": 50,

    "max_link_depth": 3,

    "max_url_length": 70,

}

```

If you need to change something, just define a dict named `DJANGO_CHECK_SEO_SETTINGS` in your settings.py.

### *Custom settings example:*

If you put this in your `settings.py` file:

```python

DJANGO_CHECK_SEO_SETTINGS = {

    "internal_links": 25,

    "meta_title_length": [15,30],

}

```

Then this will be the settings used by the application:

```python

DJANGO_CHECK_SEO_SETTINGS = {

    "content_words_number": [300, 600],

    "internal_links": 25,  # 1 if using default settings

    "external_links": 1,

    "meta_title_length": [15,30],  # [30, 60] if using default settings

    "meta_description_length": [50, 160],

    "keywords_in_first_words": 50,

    "max_link_depth": 3,

    "max_url_length": 70,

}

```

## Templates

The `django_check_seo/default.html` template have an `` block named `seo_aside` that you can replace if you want, using the `extends` & `{% block seo_aside %}` instructions, like this:

```jinja2

{% extends "django_check_seo/default.html" %}

{% block seo_aside %}

    Hi!

{% endblock seo_aside %}

```

> This template will remplace all the `About`/`Documentation` & `Raw data` (content on the `` block) by "Hi!".

----

## Select main content (exclude header/footer/...)

Since django-check-seo will count things like number of words on the main content and the number of internal links, it is important to only select the *main* content of the page (an address in the footer is not the main content of your page).

Django-check-seo use a string (named `DJANGO_CHECK_SEO_EXCLUDE_CONTENT`) of [css selectors](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Selectors) to exclude unwanted html nodes from the html content:

```

DJANGO_CHECK_SEO_EXCLUDE_CONTENT = "tag, .class, #id, tag > .child_class"

```

*You can find a reference table of css selectors explained [here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Building_blocks/Selectors#Reference_table_of_selectors) (on mdn docs).*

## *Example: See [this issue's comment](https://github.com/kapt-labs/django-check-seo/issues/35#issuecomment-593429870) for an example.*

# Unit tests

They are located in `tests` folder.

The file `launch_tests.sh` is here to manage tests launching for you. You only need `python3-venv` (for python3 venv) and `virtualenv` (for **python2** venv) in order to make it work.
