How to Open File Source code using php (SEO TOOLS)

Why Use Open Source Tools?

Mostly the developers and programmers know the value of open-source tools. And it has been taken as the myth that open source tools are only for the developers who know how to play with coding and stuff, but this is not true.

Anyone who has basic knowledge about how things work can use those tools.

In our day to day life, we use many open source software and tools, such as WordPress, Linux, Chromium (Google Chrome Built upon it.) and etc. We already know the capability of those software and tools.

Here’s why I have decided to create a list of open-source, free SEO tools available on GitHub that can help you to save a truckload of money as well as help you automate basic and advanced SEO tasks.

Here are a few benefits of using open-source tools.

• Anyone can access the source code of open-source tools and modify it as per their requirement (You can modify, rebuilt and republish them independently).
• Open-source solutions are easy to compress and carry without a hefty hardware cost.
• Open-source softwares are high in quality due to large community contributions and well-designed.
• Open-source software doesn’t include problems like vendor lock-in, licensing fees, portability challenges, little to no customization, etc.
• Open-source tools have a large community that allows the exchange of knowledge, suggestions, and queries.

Basic SEO Tools

Here are a few basic, open-source SEO tools that I feel would be ideal to use for new website owners.

<scripttype="application/ld+json">

{

"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org",

Render It

Render It enables you to transform static webpages with JavaScript content into SEO-friendly websites by rendering their JavaScript content.

Render It uses Headless Chrome and JSDOM to render the JavaScript and optimize it, respectively.

Many times, we use JavaScript to load the dynamic content into the specific section of our HTML webpage. And to load that content we have a specific trigger.

But when the browser loads the content the section with dynamic content insertion remains empty due to the trigger. So, this practice is not SEO friendly.

Problem:

<!-- Document HTML -->

<!DOCTYPE html -->

<html>

<body>

<div>Content from the server</div>

<divid="root"></div><!-- placeholder for javascript content -->

</body>

</html>

Solution:

(Render it Uses JSDOM and Chrome to render the JavaScript Content when the Page loads)

<!-- Document HTML -->

<!DOCTYPE html -->

<html>

<body>

<div>Content from the server</div>

<divid="root">Content from the client.</div><!-- placeholder for javascript content -->

</body>

</html>
