Uttaranchal Kesari
Hindi regional news platform for Uttarakhand, served from a Next.js app behind Caddy.
The engineering
Next.js application server (confirmed by an x-powered-by: Next.js response header) fronted by Caddy for TLS termination, serving server-rendered Hindi article markup at lang="hi" with NewsMediaOrganization, WebSite and SearchAction JSON-LD emitted on the document.
In plain language
Publishes Uttarakhand's daily Hindi news in a form Google News and search engines can read the moment a story goes live.
The problem
What needed solving
Regional Hindi publishers are usually stuck on heavyweight themes that render slowly on the mid-range Android phones most of their readers use, and that bury article structure behind client-side JavaScript that crawlers never execute.
The approach
How it was built
Server-render every article and section page so the full Devanagari headline and body text is present in the initial HTML payload rather than hydrated in later.
Emit a NewsMediaOrganization + WebSite JSON-LD graph on the document so search engines can attribute the publication and expose a sitelinks search box.
Terminate TLS and serve at the edge through Caddy, keeping certificate renewal automatic rather than a manual annual chore.
Publish a machine-generated sitemap and robots policy so newly published stories are discoverable without manual submission.
The outcome
What it produced
- Article HTML is readable by crawlers without executing JavaScript.
- Publication identity is machine-declared through structured data.
- The editorial team publishes without touching infrastructure.
