## Canonical URLs

### Rules

1. **Always absolute URLs**: `https://www.ordio.com/produkt-updates/...`
2. **No trailing slashes**: `/produkt-updates` not `/produkt-updates/`
3. **Consistent format**: Lowercase, hyphens for word separation
4. **One canonical per page**: Single `<link rel="canonical">` tag

### Implementation

**Main Page**:

```html
<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.ordio.com/produkt-updates" />
```

**Month Page**:

```html
<link
  rel="canonical"
  href="https://www.ordio.com/produkt-updates/[month-slug]"
/>
```

```html
<link
  rel="canonical"
  href="https://www.ordio.com/produkt-updates/[post-slug]"
/>
```

**Link Tag**:

```html
<link
  rel="alternate"
  type="application/rss+xml"

  href="/produkt-updates/feed.xml"
/>
```

**RSS 2.0 Format**:

- Includes all features and improvements
- Full content in CDATA sections
- Proper UTF-8 encoding
- Valid XML structure

## XML Sitemap

**URL**: `/sitemap-produkt-updates.xml`

**Includes**:
