Description:

Most of our docs pages lack explicit meta descriptions. This can cause some odd behavior with default descriptions, which pull from the first line of the page body. This first line isn't necessarily a good summary of the page and often is cut off (one page, notably, ends up with a meta description that's simply "Problem"), leading to poor search engine and social preview experiences.

This PR adds and updates explicit meta descriptions on most docs pages and adjusts a few page titles. It also modifies the post-build script that updates connector meta titles to:

  • Be able to update additional sections in docs (the "Concepts" section now adds "Concept" to the meta title)
  • Differentiate between Capture/Materialization connector pages, adding the type to the title (ex. MySQL connectors now will have different titles: "MySQL Capture Connector" and "MySQL Materialization Connector")
  • Fix a minor bug that sometimes added "connector" to a title when it was already there (ex. "BigQuery Batch Query Connector Connector")

With updates across so many files, I broke out commits into batches. To review certain changes, like the post-build script updates, it may be easier to view by commit.

Documentation links affected:

Almost all.

Notes for reviewers:

Thanks for reviewing! CC @SourabhEstuary I did adjust some of the language you suggested.

@jwhartley could this get merged/incorporated before estuary/connectors#4528 or should I plan to redo the connector meta descriptions after the move?
