• 💾 Vector Database: Uses LanceDB for fast, persistent similarity search across your content.

Bonus SEO Audit Features:

• 📊 Comprehensive SEO Analysis: Analyzes technical SEO signals including title tags, meta descriptions, headers, content quality, canonical URLs, robots directives, schema markup, and more.
• 🔍 Metadata Extraction: Extracts all metadata including Open Graph tags, Twitter Cards, Schema.org JSON-LD, and standard meta tags.
• 🔗 Link Analysis: Extracts and classifies all links (internal/external, content/navigational) with anchor text analysis.
• 🖼️ Image Audit: Identifies images missing alt text or with empty alt attributes for accessibility and SEO.
