What the site audit checks

The SEO Site Audit scans your website across 7 categories and returns a score with actionable recommendations. The crawler is intentionally bounded: it checks the homepage, sitemap-discovered URLs, and high-value internal pages without becoming an unbounded site crawler.

SEO (meta tags, headings, images)

  • Title tag length and content
  • Meta description length and content
  • H1 heading count and quality
  • Image alt text coverage
  • Open Graph tags for social sharing
  • Canonical tag for duplicate content prevention

Performance (Core Web Vitals)

Data from Google PageSpeed Insights API (mobile):
  • LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) — how fast the main content loads. Target: under 2.5s.
  • CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) — how much the page shifts during load. Target: under 0.1.
  • TTFB (Time to First Byte) — how fast the server responds. Target: under 800ms.
  • Speed Index — how quickly visible content appears. Target: under 3.4s.
  • Internal link count (more = better site structure)
  • External link count (linking to authoritative sources signals topic authority)
  • Broken links (404s that hurt SEO)
  • NoFollow link ratio

Crawl coverage

  • Sitemap.xml discovery and sitemap URL count
  • Homepage plus important internal pages, capped at 50 pages for predictable scan time
  • Page-level title, meta description, H1, word count, and issue summaries
  • Internal link coverage for sitemap URLs
  • Orphan page candidates that appear in the sitemap but were not linked from the crawled page set

Schema snippets
