SEO settings for the homepage: meta, canonical and structured data
Problem
Pages and categories have SEO fields (meta title, meta description, canonical, JSON-LD). The homepage has none. The Custom HTML block strips <script type="application/ld+json">, so there is no supported way to add WebSite or Organization structured data to the most important page of the site. These are the types Google and AI search engines use to understand who runs the site (name, logo, social profiles, search box).
Proposal
Give the homepage the same SEO panel as pages: meta title, meta description, canonical, and a structured data (JSON-LD) field. Optionally, generate WebSite (with SearchAction pointing at the directory search) and Organization (name, logo, sameAs) automatically from the project settings.
Workaround today
We inject the JSON-LD with an external script loaded from the footer. Crawlers that don't run JavaScript never see it, and it uses part of the 5,000-character footer budget.
