Adding meta tags to a site on Cargo Collective
I'm wondering if anyone can help me, I've spent the last couple of weeks tearing my hair out over trying to come to a solution in regards to adding meta tags to my site that is hosted through cargo collective. I know that on other web host sites (Wix, Squarespace etc) that this is a relatively painless thing to do. However, as are many things with Cargo collective (I have learned too late after designing my whole site there) that they make this simple and easy task on other platforms the most ludicrous and complex thing ever. Unless I am massively missing an easy fix (please tell me I am), but what I have resorted to is trying to employ a worker through cloudfare to implement the meta tags, but this keeps breaking the site in various ways or not being easily deployable. I managed to get it to work for one page, then applied to another and they cancel each other out?! I'm hoping someone has some insight on how I might be able to go about fixing and implementing this. Thanks!

- I get your frustration mate 🤚 Cargo Collective can be quite restrictive when it comes to SEO customization. Fortunately, there are a few ways you can add meta tags to your site without relying on Cloudflare Workers, which seem to be causing more issues than solutions.Cargo allows you to inject custom code into the <head> of your site, which is where meta tags should go.Also you can add different meta tags for different pages using javascript.Hit me if you think you need further help.
- Hi Nath, What kind of meta tags are you adding? Although I've not worked with Cargo before, my understanding is that title and meta tags can be editied through your settings. For custom meta tags, if you're using them to verify ownership of a domain or somthing you may be better off adding a TXT record to your DNS if that's an option.
