Meta & Head
18.1/25
Title, description, canonical, social tags — what search engines read first.
Open Graph tagsmedium impactlow effort
No Open Graph tags found
Open Graph tags control how your page looks when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, WhatsApp, and most chat apps; without them, links render as a bare URL or with guessed text, and far fewer people click through. Add four meta tags to <head>: og:title, og:description, og:url, and og:image — an image around 1200x630 pixels works well across platforms. Use absolute https:// URLs for og:image and og:url; relative paths are the most common reason preview images silently fail to appear.
Character encoding declaredlow impactlow effort
No character encoding declaration found
Without a declared character encoding, browsers have to guess how to decode your text; a wrong guess garbles apostrophes, accents, and currency symbols, and the guessing itself can delay rendering. Add <meta charset="utf-8"> as the very first element inside <head> — browsers only scan the opening bytes of the document for it. Also confirm your server isn't sending a conflicting charset in the Content-Type header, since a mismatch produces exactly the garbled text you're trying to prevent.
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.
Faviconlow impactlow effort
No <link rel="icon"> and /favicon.ico does not respond
Google displays favicons beside mobile search results, and browsers show them in tabs, bookmarks, and history — a missing icon makes your listing look generic and less trustworthy next to competitors. Create an icon of at least 48x48 pixels, serve it at /favicon.ico, and reference it with <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.png" type="image/png"> in <head>. Make sure robots.txt doesn't block the icon's path — search engines must be able to crawl it to display it.
Twitter card taglow impactlow effort
No twitter:card meta tag found
X (Twitter) layers its own card markup on top of Open Graph, and without a twitter:card tag your shared links may render as plain text instead of a large image preview. Add <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image"> alongside your Open Graph tags; X will fill in the title, description, and picture from og:title, og:description, and og:image. Keep og:image an absolute URL — a relative or missing image is the usual reason cards show up without a picture.

Content & Structure
19.5/25
Headings, copy depth, images, structured data, internal linking.
Image alt textmedium impactlow effort
2 of 10 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.
Single H1 headinghigh impactlow effort
24 h1 headings found: "Better Indoor Comfort Through Expert System Care", "Quick HVAC Repairs With Honest Results", "Clean Airflow and Consistent Temperature Control"
Multiple h1s split the page's main-topic signal, leaving search engines to guess which headline actually defines the page. Keep the one h1 that best states the primary topic and demote the rest to h2 or h3, so the outline reads as a single subject with subtopics. A frequent culprit is a site logo or blog title wrapped in an h1 inside the shared header template — change that to a <div> or <p> and reserve h1 for the page's own content.

Technical
22.2/25
HTTPS, redirects, robots, sitemap, speed, crawlability.
HTTP redirects to HTTPSmedium impactlow effort
http:// version serves content without redirecting
Your http:// URLs serve content instead of redirecting, so search engines can crawl and index two parallel copies of every page and split ranking signals between them. Add a permanent 301 redirect from http to https at the server or CDN level — in nginx, "return 301 https://$host$request_uri;" in the port-80 server block; in Apache, a RewriteRule in .htaccess; on Cloudflare, enable "Always Use HTTPS". Use a 301, not a 302 — temporary redirects don't consolidate ranking signals — and preserve the full path in the redirect target.
XML sitemap availablemedium impactlow effort
sitemap.xml is valid but robots.txt does not reference it
Your sitemap is valid, but robots.txt never mentions it, so crawlers you haven't manually notified may never find it — the robots.txt reference is the universal discovery mechanism. Add one line to robots.txt: "Sitemap: https://www.example.com/sitemap.xml", using the full absolute URL (a relative path is invalid here). The line can go anywhere in the file, and you can list several sitemaps. Also submit it in Google Search Console to get indexing-coverage reporting on top of discovery.
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.
