Warning article-schema-missing

Article pages declare Article schema

What this check means

Checks that a page presenting itself as an article also declares Article, BlogPosting or NewsArticle schema.

Why it matters

Article schema turns a page of prose into a citable object with an author, a date and a headline. Without it a system has the text but none of the provenance, and provenance is most of what decides whether something gets quoted.

How we detect it

We only judge pages that declare themselves articles via og:type. On those we look for Article, BlogPosting or NewsArticle in the JSON-LD.

How to fix it

Add an Article block with headline, author, datePublished and dateModified.

Check whether this applies to your site.
