Meta & Head
23.6/25
Title, description, canonical, social tags — what search engines read first.
Canonical URLmedium impactlow effort
No <link rel="canonical"> found
When the same page is reachable at several URLs — tracking parameters, trailing-slash variants, http vs https — search engines may split ranking signals across the duplicates. A canonical tag names the one version that should get all the credit. Add <link rel="canonical" href="https://www.example.com/page/"> to the <head>, pointing at the page's preferred absolute URL. Double-check it's self-referencing on the primary version: a canonical that points at the wrong page can quietly de-index the right one.

Content & Structure
19.5/25
Headings, copy depth, images, structured data, internal linking.
Image alt textmedium impactlow effort
0 of 6 images have alt text
Alt text is how search engines understand what an image shows — it feeds image-search rankings and is what screen readers announce to blind visitors. Add a short, specific alt attribute to every meaningful image, describing the content rather than listing keywords: alt="Golden retriever puppy playing in snow" beats alt="dog puppy pet animal". Give purely decorative images an empty alt="" instead of omitting the attribute, so assistive technology knows to skip them rather than reading out the filename.
Structured data (JSON-LD)medium impactmedium effort
No JSON-LD structured data blocks found
Structured data makes your listing eligible for rich results — star ratings, FAQs, breadcrumbs, product prices — which occupy more space on the results page and draw more clicks than plain blue links. Add a <script type="application/ld+json"> block with a schema.org type that matches the page: Organization or WebSite for a homepage, Article for posts, Product for product pages. Only mark up content actually visible on the page — markup for invisible content violates Google's guidelines and can earn a manual action.
Heading hierarchylow impactlow effort
Heading level jumps from h1 ("Ghost House") to h4 ("In celebration of our country’s 250th anniversary of independence, welcome to the debut of Ghost House.")
Headings form the page's outline; when levels jump (h2 straight to h4), search engines and screen readers get a broken table of contents and the relationship between sections turns ambiguous. Fix the jump by stepping down one level at a time — promote the deeper heading, or add the missing intermediate level. The usual cause is choosing heading tags for their default font size; set sizes in CSS instead and let the tags reflect actual document structure.

HTTPS, redirects, robots, sitemap, speed, crawlability.
Response compression enabledlow impactlow effort
no content-encoding header
This HTML is served uncompressed, so every visitor downloads far more bytes than necessary — text compresses extremely well, and the savings directly speed up first render on slow connections. Enable Brotli or gzip on your server or CDN: in nginx it's "gzip on;" (or the brotli module), in Apache it's mod_deflate via .htaccess, and on most CDNs it's a single toggle. Make sure compression covers all text types (HTML, CSS, JS, JSON, SVG), but skip already-compressed images — recompressing them wastes CPU for no gain.
