Google Lighthouse defines a missing element on catalog.data.gov as a contributor to a lesser SEO score. The element is missing completely

More on importance here: https://sitebulb.com/hints/on-page/meta-description-is-missing/

How to reproduce

  1. Navigate to catalog.data.gov
  2. view the page source
  3. search for meta name=description

Expected behavior

An existing element with description content for any given page

Actual behavior

there is no element at all

Sketch

  • Identify how we're setting current meta tags within catalog
  • Investigate missing pages
  • Within our CKANext Theme add the missing meta description tag
  • Ensure the meta description tags match current description tags we use for other social media description tags
