Lightweight SEO Planner: A Microservice Case Study for WordPress

This internal project demonstrates how microservices architecture can power agile, scalable solutions for content-driven platforms like WordPress. Built for speed and clarity, the planner integrates custom APIs with modern frontends to streamline SEO tasks and improve reporting. This in-house project showcases the integration of mobile-friendly interfaces with WordPress through a Node.js API service, leveraging an architecture that has been successfully implemented across seven prior projects.

• Functional and practical: You want to update the SEO on your WordPress website in a straightforward way that is fast, reusable, and future-proof, without being locked into any specific system
• Report and communication: You want to extract your SEO data from WordPress to communicate this information to different stakeholders and leverage its value to improve the relevance of your website’s pages
• SEO maintenance: You want visibility into which pages are ranking well on your website and insight into their meta information
• SEO productivity: You want to prioritise the pages on your website to make your SEO maintenance more efficient
  

How It Works

The SEO Planner is built using a modular structure:

• Backend: KeystoneJS manages core business logic and interacts with a Postgres database.
• Frontend: A mobile-friendly Next.js UI connects directly with users.
• API Layer: A Node.js service fetches SEO data from WordPress and serves it to both backend and frontend layers.
