Site Checker

What is a website SEO check?

A website SEO check is an automated audit that examines your site for the technical factors that affect search rankings: page speed, indexability, meta tags, structured data, mobile usability, broken links and more. It produces a health score and a list of specific problems, each with a recommended fix.

What does it actually check?

A thorough SEO check measures everything a search engine sees when it visits your page. That means load speed, how the page renders on phones, whether the crawler can reach it, whether your title tags and headings match your content, and whether you have structured data that tells machines what your business is.

The goal is not a vanity score. The goal is a list of concrete problems you can fix: images that are too large, meta descriptions that are missing, links that are broken, schema that is malformed. Each one loses you traffic, and each one has a solution.

Why run one at all?

Because most sites have issues their owners do not know about. A redirect chain from an old URL. A broken link Google keeps hitting. A mobile layout that cuts off the CTA. Schema that was supposed to go live but never made it into the build. These are the quiet killers — individually minor, together enough to signal that the site is unmaintained, and rankings drift down.

An SEO check surfaces the stack. You fix the critical issues first, the site recovers, and then you keep it there by catching new issues monthly before they compound.

How often should you run one?

After any major change — a redesign, a migration, new pages — and at least monthly on an actively maintained site. Problems build up between checks, and the earlier you catch them the cheaper they are to fix.
