Methodology
This page explains what SEO Screening checks, what the results mean, and how you can prioritize improvements.
What we scan
We fetch the URL you submit and analyze the response, basic HTML structure, and common SEO signals.
- HTTP status and content type
- Title, meta description, canonical, robots meta
- Heading usage (H1/H2)
- Links (internal/external/nofollow)
- Images (missing alt attributes)
- robots.txt and sitemap.xml presence
- Open Graph / Twitter metadata
- Structured data presence (JSON-LD)
How scoring works
The score is a high-level indicator based on the checks we run. It’s meant to help you prioritize. A lower score usually indicates missing metadata, indexing blockers, or structural issues. Always interpret the score together with the specific recommendations.
How to prioritize fixes
1. Indexing blockers
Status codes, robots directives, canonical mistakes, and broken essentials.
2. On-page relevance
Titles/descriptions, headings, and content structure that match search intent.
3. Enhancements
Structured data, social metadata, and performance improvements.
