Chrome includes a dev-tool called "Lighthouse", which provides some recommendations for improving the page. Some of them are fairly simple:

  • Add meta description to document
  • robots.txt is not valid
  • Provide apple-touch-icon to make it look nicer on iOS devices that use the PWA feature (it must point to a non-transparent 192px (or 180px) square PNG)

Discussion:

Let's set the meta part to the following

<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="description" content="Monitorizarea transportului public din Chișinău">
  <meta name="keywords" content="Chișinău, troleibuz, trolleybus, transport public, GPS">
</head>

What is the right way to deal with multilinguality? Because we have to cover multiple languages, we need something like <meta name="keywords" content="Chișinău, Кишинёв, троллейбус, troleibuz, trolleybus, transport public, общественный транспорт, GPS"> - however I am guessing these are too many keywords and it can be perceived as SEO spam.

Moreover, we have to have a description in Russian and in English. What's the proper way to deal with this?

For single page applications, a solution would be to build entire app for each language. (Angular apps do this)

And have for example

Hmm, the downloaded JS file is already pretty large. If one would have to redownload it whenever they switch languages - I would rather sacrifice the META/SEO bells and whistles in favor of common sense.
