Meta & Head

18.1/25

Title, description, canonical, social tags — what search engines read first.

  • Meta descriptionhigh impactlow effort

    No meta description found

    The meta description is your ad copy in search results; without one, engines pull an arbitrary snippet from the page, which usually reads poorly and costs you clicks. Add <meta name="description" content="..."> with 70–160 characters that summarize the page and give a concrete reason to click — what the visitor gets plus a differentiator (free, instant, no signup). Write a unique description per page: one duplicated across the site is treated much like a missing one.

  • 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.

  • Open Graph tagsmedium impactlow effort

    Missing Open Graph tags: og:description, og:image, og:url

    Your Open Graph markup is incomplete, so social platforms fall back to guessed text or drop the preview image entirely when this page is shared — a broken card gets far fewer clicks than a complete one. Add the missing og:description, og:image, og:url tags to <head>. For og:image, use an absolute https:// URL to an image around 1200x630 pixels; relative paths are the usual reason previews break. Re-check with a platform's sharing debugger afterwards, since preview cards are cached.

23.3/25

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.

  • 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.
