## [Troubleshooting FAQ](#troubleshooting-faq)

### [Should I use @nuxtjs/seo or the individual modules?](#should-i-use-nuxtjsseo-or-the-individual-modules)

`@nuxtjs/seo` is an alias that installs all 6 modules at once. It contains no extra logic. You get the exact same modules, features, and configuration options either way.

Use `@nuxtjs/seo` for convenience. Install modules individually if you only need a few of them or want version pinning control.

See the [Introduction](https://nuxtseo.com/docs/nuxt-seo/getting-started/introduction#nuxtjsseo-vs-individual-modules) for more details.

### [Can I use the modules separately?](#can-i-use-the-modules-separately)

Yes! Nuxt SEO is designed to be flexible and work however you need it to.

### [Do I need to install nuxt-site-config separately?](#do-i-need-to-install-nuxt-site-config-separately)

No. `nuxt-site-config` installs automatically when you install any Nuxt SEO module (whether via `@nuxtjs/seo` or individually). You never need to add it to your `modules` array.

### [How do I set up Nuxt Content with multiple SEO modules?](#how-do-i-set-up-nuxt-content-with-multiple-seo-modules)

Use each module's `defineXxxSchema()` function in your `content.config.ts`. Only include schemas for the modules you use.

See the [Nuxt Content guide](https://nuxtseo.com/docs/nuxt-seo/guides/nuxt-content) for the full setup.

### [Why does my production build go up so much?](#why-does-my-production-build-go-up-so-much)

Server-side features add 2-5MB to the production build but don't affect client-side runtime performance since most module logic runs on the server.

If the production build size is a concern, you can [disable the modules](https://nuxtseo.com/docs/nuxt-seo/guides/debugging-modules#disabling-modules) you don't need.

If you are using Nuxt SEO in a serverless environment, you may want to keep your workers under 1MB. The module that will contribute the most to your worker size is `nuxt-og-image`.

If targeting <1MB workers (Cloudflare Workers free tier), disable nuxt-og-image or switch to Zero Runtime mode to stay under the size limit.

Options:

1. Disable it: `ogImage: { enabled: false }`
2. Use [Zero Runtime](https://nuxtseo.com/docs/og-image/guides/zero-runtime) mode (build-time generation)

### [What happened to Nuxt SEO Kit?](#what-happened-to-nuxt-seo-kit)

The Nuxt SEO Kit module was the initial version of Nuxt SEO.

While it generally worked great for some users, it was only useful for server-side generated Nuxt Sites and in turn its feature set was much more limited.

It has been deprecated in favour of the new Nuxt SEO module.

See the [migration guide](https://nuxtseo.com/docs/nuxt-seo/migration-guide/nuxt-seo-kit) for more information.

## [Create a Reproduction](#create-a-reproduction)

When filing issues, include a minimal reproduction. See [Debugging Modules](https://nuxtseo.com/docs/nuxt-seo/guides/debugging-modules#creating-a-minimal-reproduction) for [StackBlitz](https://stackblitz.com) playgrounds.
