Search & sharing

Each page has its own search and sharing settings, and the whole site has a language and a list of redirects. Frostpage turns them into correct metadata on every release.

01

Open the Google and sharing panel

In the editor, choose Page settings for the page you are on. The Google and sharing panel holds the settings for that page:

  • Title in Google — the title shown in search results and browser tabs, up to 240 characters. Leave it empty to use the page title.
  • Description — the summary shown under the title in results, with a character count as you type.
  • Picture when shared — one of your images, shown when the page is shared. Without one, the first hero photo is used.
  • Hide this page from Google — adds a noindex instruction. The page stays reachable by link and is left out of the sitemap.
02

Languages

Under Whole site, choose the site’s main language. It sets the page language attribute and the Open Graph locale. Add up to eight extra languages under Languages: each one is published under its own address (for example /de/) with hreflang links, sitemap entries and a language menu. Pick a language in the editor to translate its texts (the layout stays shared), or use Translate with AI on a paid plan. Product pages, checkout texts and blog posts follow the main language for now.

03

Add redirects

Also under Whole site, add a redirect with an Old address (for example /old-page) and a New address (another path such as /new-page, or a full https:// URL). Tick Permanent move (301) for a page that moved for good; leave it unticked for a temporary 302 redirect.

  • Up to 100 redirects per site, with old addresses of up to 240 characters made of letters, digits, hyphens and underscores.
  • The home page, addresses already used by a page, reserved system paths, duplicates and redirects to the same address are rejected.
  • Redirects only apply to addresses that don’t match a published page.
04

What every release includes

When you publish, each page gets a canonical link, a meta description, Open Graph and Twitter card tags, and schema.org structured data (WebSite on the home page, WebPage elsewhere). The release also contains a sitemap.xml with absolute addresses, a robots.txt that points to it, and a friendly 404 page, marked noindex, for addresses that don’t exist.

Settings are checked in the editor and again on the server, so a problem is reported before publishing rather than after.
