Detects accidental noindex meta tags, X-Robots-Tag HTTP headers, missing or broken canonical URLs, robots.txt blocks, and missing XML sitemaps that stop Googlebot from indexing your pages.
Measures exact character and pixel widths so Google never truncates your headline in search results, and generates high-converting 150–160 character meta descriptions.
Flags missing <h1> tags, duplicate H1 headings, thin body copy (<300 words), and missing document lang attributes that weaken topical authority.
Validates your application/ld+json blocks for syntax errors and builds ready-to-paste WebSite, Organization, and FAQPage structured data for Google Rich Snippets and AI Overviews.
Scans every <img> tag for missing alt attributes, audits internal crawl links vs. outbound links, and checks Open Graph & X/Twitter social preview cards.
Verifies SSL encryption, mobile-first viewport responsiveness, server Time-to-First-Byte (TTFB) latency, HTML payload weight, and Gzip/Brotli compression.

A useful SEO audit explains what was checked, what evidence was found in your live HTTP response and HTML source, and what you should change. It also distinguishes confirmed technical blockers from recommendations that depend on your website’s purpose. A missing meta description, for example, is not equivalent to a page returning a 500 server error or an accidental noindex directive. Start with issues that prevent visitors and search engines from accessing important content, then review indexing signals, page meaning, performance, and structured data enhancements.
Understanding public scan coverage: A public URL scanner inspects accessible HTTP responses, headers, HTML markup, /robots.txt, and /sitemap.xml. It cannot automatically see private Google Search Console data, server logs, unpublished CMS settings, or every unlinked URL on your domain. Treat findings as live evidence from your public URL, and pair your technical repair files with Google Search Console’s URL Inspection tool.
Google Search Essentials outlines the technical requirements that help Googlebot discover, crawl, and understand webpages. Crawlability describes whether a search engine crawler can discover and request a URL:
HTTP 200 OK. Permanent URL migrations should use 301 or 308 redirects, and removed pages should return 404 or 410 rather than rendering an error message inside a 200 OK response (which creates a soft 404).robots.txt Against the Actual URL: Your /robots.txt file controls crawler access—not indexing privacy. Blocking a URL in robots.txt prevents Googlebot from seeing a noindex tag on that page, and blocking CSS or JavaScript assets can prevent Google from rendering your mobile layout properly. Use our Robots.txt & XML Sitemap Checker to verify your rules.<a href="..."> anchor tags with descriptive anchor text rather than JavaScript-only click handlers.
A crawlable page is not automatically indexed by Google. Our scanner inspects both your HTML <meta name="robots"> tag and your server’s X-Robots-Tag HTTP response header for noindex restrictions that exclude pages from search results.
Consolidating Duplicate URLs with Canonical Tags: A canonical link element (<link rel="canonical" href="https://...">) tells Google which URL is the preferred version when duplicate or near-identical paths exist (such as http:// vs. https://, www vs. non-www, trailing slashes, or UTM tracking parameters). Always use an absolute URL and align your internal links, 301 redirects, and XML sitemap entries with that exact canonical address.
Publishing Clean XML Sitemaps: An XML sitemap (/sitemap.xml) helps Googlebot discover canonical, indexable URLs across your site. Never include noindex pages, 301/302 redirect URLs, or error pages in your sitemap, and reference your sitemap URL at the bottom of /robots.txt.
Give every page a distinct, descriptive <title> element (typically 50–60 characters so it does not truncate on desktop and mobile SERPs) that accurately reflects the page’s primary topic and brand. Pair it with a clear 140–160 character <meta name="description"> that summarizes the value proposition and encourages qualified searchers to click.
Structure visible body content with a single primary <h1> heading followed by logical <h2> and <h3> subheadings. For images, provide concise descriptive alt attributes on informative visuals so Google Images and screen readers understand the subject matter, and use empty alt="" attributes on purely decorative graphics.
Core Web Vitals measure real-world user experience at the 75th percentile across three metrics: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP ≤ 2.5s) for loading performance, Interaction to Next Paint (INP ≤ 200ms) for interactivity, and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS ≤ 0.1) for visual stability. Server Time to First Byte (TTFB) measures how quickly your host begins delivering HTML and directly impacts LCP.
Schema.org JSON-LD Structured Data: Adding validated application/ld+json markup helps search engines and AI answer engines understand your organization, software, products, and articles. Always verify syntax and vocabulary with our Schema Markup Validator, Schema.org Validator, and Google’s Rich Results Test, and ensure every structured-data property matches visible page content.
Verify Settings → Reading → Search engine visibility is unchecked. Apply repaired titles, descriptions, and canonicals via RankMath or Yoast SEO rather than hardcoding duplicate tags in header.php.
Update page and product titles/descriptions in Search engine listing preview. Check theme.liquid for duplicate application/ld+json blocks left behind by uninstalled apps.
Set your global Canonical URL in Site Settings → SEO, enable auto-generated XML Sitemap, and paste JSON-LD structured data into your page’s Inside <head> tag custom code slot.
Use built-in Page SEO panels for titles, meta descriptions, and custom structured data markup. Both platforms manage sitemap.xml automatically once indexing is enabled.
For static sites, drop in our patched/index.html, sitemap.xml, and robots.txt directly. For Next.js App Router, map the repaired values into your route’s exported metadata object and app/sitemap.ts.
