🎉 SEO EDITOR PERSISTENCE BUG - COMPLETELY FIXED!
✅ THE EXACT ROOT CAUSE IDENTIFIED & FIXED
Problem: The analyzer only extracted basic meta tags but ignored OpenGraph, Twitter Cards, and other advanced tags.
Result: Applied fixes were saved to files but not detected on refresh, causing suggestions to reappear and SEO scores to drop.
Status: COMPLETELY RESOLVED
🔧 The Fix Was in 2 Critical Places:
❌ BEFORE (Broken)
- Apply "Add Open Graph Tags"
- Tags saved to HTML file ✅
- Page refresh → Analyzer ignores OG tags ❌
- Detection fails → Suggestion reappears ❌
- SEO score drops (73→58) ❌
✅ AFTER (Fixed)
- Apply "Add Open Graph Tags"
- Tags saved to HTML file ✅
- Page refresh → Analyzer reads ALL tags ✅
- Detection works → Suggestion disappears ✅
- SEO score improves permanently ✅
🔧 Fix #1: Enhanced Meta Tag Extraction
File: api/seo-analyzer.php
Problem: Only extracted basic meta tags (title, description, keywords, robots)
Solution: Extract ALL meta tags including:
- ✅ OpenGraph tags (
property="og:*")
- ✅ Twitter Cards (
name="twitter:*")
- ✅ Canonical links (
rel="canonical")
- ✅ Structured Data (JSON-LD)
- ✅ All other meta tags
// NEW: Comprehensive meta tag extraction
if (preg_match('/property=["\']([^"\']+)["\']\s+content=["\']([^"\']*)["\']/', $metaTag, $match)) {
$tags[$match[1]] = $match[2]; // Captures og:title, og:description, etc.
}
🔧 Fix #2: Complete Meta Tag Usage
File: js/seo-editor-core-complete.js
Problem: JavaScript only used limited SEO data, ignored complete meta tags
Solution: Use complete metaTags from analyzer response
// NEW: Use complete meta tags from analyzer
if (this.pageData?.metaTags) {
this.originalMetaTags = { ...this.pageData.metaTags }; // Includes ALL tags
}
console.log('📊 OpenGraph detected:', !!(this.originalMetaTags['og:title']));
console.log('📱 Twitter Cards detected:', !!(this.originalMetaTags['twitter:card']));
