The Open Graph image file '/og-image.png' referenced in the metadata does not exist in the public directory. This will cause broken image links when the page is shared on social media platforms. Either create the og-image.png file in the public directory with dimensions 1200x630, or remove the Open Graph image configuration.

Next.js automatically handles adding the custom head elements in the layout through the metadata API. Manually adding a head element in the JSX can potentially cause conflicts or duplicate head elements. Consider using the metadata API's other.ldJson or viewport fields instead, or verify that this manual approach doesn't conflict with Next.js's automatic head management.

The sitemap is hardcoded to use 'https://rechrome.dev' in the schema markup URL field instead of using the dynamic baseUrl from the environment variable. This creates inconsistency with the sitemap.ts file which correctly uses the NEXT_PUBLIC_URL environment variable. Consider using the environment variable here as well for consistency across environments.

Blocking AhrefsBot and SemrushBot prevents these legitimate SEO audit tools from crawling your site. While they do consume bandwidth, these bots are commonly used by website owners for SEO analysis and competitive research. Consider allowing these bots with a reasonable crawl-delay instead of completely blocking them, unless there's a specific reason to prevent SEO auditing of the site.
