Quick answer: An SEO audit tool scans a page and grades the signals that affect rankings: title tags, meta descriptions, headings, image alt text, page speed and technical setup. Enter your URL above and you get a scored report with the critical fixes listed first.
What the SEO audit checks
On-page SEO
Title tag, meta description, heading structure (H1 to H3) and image alt text on the page you enter.
Page speed and Core Web Vitals
How quickly the main content loads, how stable the layout is and how responsive the page is on real devices.
Technical SEO
Indexability, canonical tags, robots and sitemap signals, and structured data that help search engines and AI systems understand the page.
How to use the SEO audit tool
- Enter your website URL in the form at the top of the page.
- Add your name and email so the report can be delivered to you.
- Generate the report. The scan runs in under a minute.
- Work through the fixes, critical items first, then re-run the audit to confirm.
How to read your SEO score
| Score | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 80 – 100 | Good | Working well, no urgent action |
| 50 – 79 | Needs work | Weak spots worth fixing soon |
| 0 – 49 | Critical | Major issues holding the site back; fix first |
Start with critical issues. A missing title, a page blocked from indexing or a slow template can hold back a whole site. For background, see Google’s SEO Starter Guide.
Common SEO issues the audit finds
On-page
- Missing or duplicate titles: each URL needs a unique title under about 60 characters.
- Missing meta descriptions: aim for about 145 to 160 characters.
- Multiple H1s: use one H1 and a logical H2 and H3 structure.
- Missing alt text: describe every meaningful image.
Technical
- Pages blocked in robots.txt or tagged noindex by mistake.
- Canonical tags pointing at the wrong URL.
- Missing structured data that helps search and AI systems read the page.
Page speed
- Slow LCP: main content should appear within 2.5 seconds.
- High CLS: content jumping as the page loads.
- Slow INP: taps and clicks should respond within 200 ms.
Google sets these thresholds; see web.dev’s Core Web Vitals guide.
Quick SEO wins after your audit
- Give every page a unique title and a meta description that includes the main keyword.
- Use exactly one H1 per page.
- Compress images, enable caching and cut unused JavaScript.
- Add descriptive alt text to every image.
- Fix broken links and link related pages together.
- Keep important pages out of robots.txt blocks and in your XML sitemap.
- Add FAQ or Article structured data where it fits.
Why regular SEO audits matter
Search systems update, competitors publish and small errors creep in. Auditing every one to three months, and after any redesign or migration, catches problems before they cost traffic and shows whether your fixes worked.
Know its scope: This tool is a fast on-page and technical check, not a replacement for a full crawler or backlink platform on large sites. Combine it with Google Search Console for first-party data.

Your homepage’s title and meta description, heading structure, image alt text, Core Web Vitals and page speed, and technical SEO basics such as indexability and structured data.
