    Recipe Update Checklist

    Published: May 20, 2020 · Modified: Sep 15, 2021 by Skylar · 2 Comments

    This tutorial features the Feast Plugin, which contains enhances and extends your theme.

    When you're updating posts, you want to be as thorough as possible to avoid having to re-edit multiple times. Remembering all of what needs to be done is impossible though - so we've created a Recipe Update Checklist available exclusively through the Feast Plugin.

    For new posts, use the Recipe Post Template for a pre-built post structure, instead of writing a new recipe from scratch.

    Note: checklist has been blurred as these will be updated frequently based on ongoing best practices. Please visit the "Recipe Update Checklist" page in the Feast Plugin for the current list.

    General

    Make sure you have all your alt tags, proper image sizes, avoid over-stuffing keywords, and more, with the general section.

    Content

    Every recipe has a basic set of questions that should be answered to pre-empt the readers questions and provide the highest quality content for Google and readers.

    Why is having topically-relevant, quality on-page content important? Here's a quote from Google's John Mueller:

    Make content for your users, obviously, if you want to be recommended by those users! - John Mueller

    Pagespeed

    Double check your pagespeed scores to ensure you haven't embedded anything that would penalize you, and prevent you from ranking.

      Where are these checklists available? I've updated but didn't see them right away.

        If you're running a recent version of the themes, it will be under the theme menu in the sidebar under "Recipe Update Checklist".

        If you're running a non-Feast theme, it will be in the "Settings" menu in the sidebar under "Recipe Update Checklist".
