Framer SEO Audit — Designer-First Platform, Audit-Ready
Framer-aware audit catches the SEO gaps left when designers ship sites without an SEO checklist.
Framer is gorgeous to design in but ships sites with the SEO defaults of a prototype tool. Open Graph images aren't generated unless you set them per page. Schema isn't emitted unless you embed JSON-LD manually. Page weight grows fast as designers stack interactions. SEOGrade reads your live Framer site and tells you exactly what's missing.
Common SEO issues on Framer sites
No JSON-LD schema on any page
Framer doesn't auto-emit Organization, Article, FAQPage, or Product schema. Each page needs an Embed component with hand-written JSON-LD.
Default OG image is blank or the Framer logo
If you don't set a per-page OG image in Site Settings → SEO, social shares render with no preview card or with Framer's default.
Animations and effects ship hundreds of KB of JS to mobile
Each Framer interaction (hover effects, scroll animations, page transitions) adds JS bundles. Mobile LCP and INP degrade quickly on animation-heavy sites.
Auto-generated URLs include capitalization or special characters
Framer builds URLs from layer/page names. 'Our Services!' becomes /Our-Services-! — ugly and link-unfriendly.
Custom domain canonical not consistent across pages
If you have a Framer subdomain (.framer.website) and a custom domain, both stay accessible without explicit canonical management.
How to fix them
Add JSON-LD via Custom Code in Site Settings
Site Settings → Custom Code → End of <head>. Drop global Organization and WebSite JSON-LD. Use per-page Embed components for Article, FAQPage, Product schema.
Set per-page OG image in Page → SEO panel
Each page in Framer has an SEO tab — set a unique 1200x630 OG image per page. Use Framer's component variants if you want a templated look.
Audit and disable expensive interactions
Use Lighthouse to identify interactions costing >100ms INP. Replace scroll-linked animations with intersection-observer triggers.
Manually rename page URL slugs
Page Settings → URL → set lowercase, hyphenated slugs. Avoid special characters.
Set canonical and noindex the Framer subdomain
Site Settings → Domains → set custom domain as primary. Add canonical link via Custom Code referencing the custom domain. Submit only the custom domain to GSC.
