Thanks for sharing this advice. I am currently optimizing my blog, and I do not know where to start. It seems like a great idea to use canonical_urls on all my dev.to posts, which I already have set up. I'd love to read more from you about the topic. Again, thanks for sharing.

The canonical url is a more advanced technique, but if you syndicate your blog (post it in multiple places) it’s important so your site doesn’t get dinged.
On page SEO is pretty simple and there are millions of articles on this.
The two key things to look at is Keywords (what people actually search for) and back links. Who links to you site/pages.
