Settings by tab
There are several settings that you can use to tell Yoga how to display your page. Settings are separated out into tabs and sections.
Page Tab
Page Title: Describes what the overall page is about. This will be displayed within the title component on your website to help the user know what page they are viewing
Page Key: This is a unique key for your page. It is used internal reference within Yoga and is the initial page URL within your website.
Example: If your page key is “my-new-page”, you can access it on your website at https://www.mywebsite.tld/my-new-page
Subtitle: If used, the subtitle will be displayed with your page title.
Page Description: If used, the page description will be displayed with your page title.
Image: If utilized, the image will be placed within your design, often as a header for your page
Cover/Background Image: If utilized this image will be used as a background image for your page.
Images may or may not be available for your design. This will depend on how your designer built your website.
Layout Tab
Page Layout: Select the page layout that you want to use for this page. Page layouts are used to define how the page is structured and which components are included on the page such as page title, navigation, etc.
Page Class: You may choose to add classes to your page for use in style sheets
Include Containers: If your design includes containers or sub-layouts, you may choose to inject them into your page layout. This is generally not needed, but helpful for very complex layouts.
SEO Tab
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process to help search engines find your page easier and mark it as relevant for search users.
Focus Phrase: This is a short phrase to describe the topical focus of the page. This will not be used as content for the page, however it does help Yoga understand the page better and helps you, the webmaster, in understanding your search goals.
Meta Title: This will be used for the page title tag, which is used by the search engines to gain a better understanding of the page. By default it will use the page title from the page tab, however often you will want the page title that the search engines display to be more engaging and descriptive.
Meta Descriptions: This will also be used for the search engines to provide a more engaging description of the page content. If you don’t fill this out, Yoga will utilize the content of your page for the description as best it can.
Searchable Keywords: There are times that you may need to add additional keywords and descriptions, that are not in the content, to a page so that Yoga Search can find the relevant page.
Share Tab
Yoga allows you to share your page as a post with various social accounts and integrations. This is part of the Yoga Lab and may not be fully available. More to come on this topic.
Publish Tab
All pages are required to be published before they will be displayed on your website. If the page is published the icon on the tab will be checked.
Assign Permissions: Assign permissions to tell Yoga who can view this page. If your website has multiple roles such as members, basic users, and everyone, you can assign multiple rules for each group to view or not view this page.
Role: The role or group you are creating the rule.
Release On: Set a date for this content to be scheduled to be viewable
Remove On: Set a date for this content to be scheduled to be hidden.
To remove a role from viewing a page, click on the minus icon to remove the role. If you remove all roles, this will remove the page from your website without deleting it.
Performance Caching: Yoga takes advantage of several advanced caching techniques to bring lightening speeds to your website. We recommend leaving this on “Global Settings”. Don’t worry, every time content is updated on the page, the cache is automatically updated.
Permalink: Sometimes you may want to update the page URL to a permalink or friendly URL. If this is the case, the permalink will be used for the page url instead of the page key.
When redefining the page URL with a permalink, your old link or page key will still be active and 301 redirect to this new permalink URL.
The More You Know
Performance caching
Caching allows your site to load faster and scale better for more traffic. Set a cache for this page that is realistic for the use of this page. You may want to set the cache for a full day. If an app has a cache time set that is different than the page cache, the page cache will be ignored. It's important to note that any changes to data or the site, will reset the cache and provide fresh data to the viewer regardless of the cache time set.
Recommendation…
Use Global Settings or Auto for performance caching when a page is in production.
Pro Tips
Choose descriptive page titles
Your page title is the first and sometimes only content a user will see before before viewing the full page. Your page title should be concise and descriptive. Utilize the SEO tab to provide more engaging titles for your page, that will help to engage search users.
Example:
If your page topic is “How widgets are made”, you may choose to use the following information for your page title and meta data.
Page Title: How widgets are made
Meta Title: Learn how widgets are made in America
Meta Description: Learn how our American made widgets out perform the widgets made in other parts of the world. Our widgets bring superior quality and durability to every application.
