How to Read Your Website SEO Check

Treat a check as evidence, not a verdict.

Title and description

A useful title names the offer and business. A description summarizes the page honestly. Length suggestions are editorial guidance, not ranking guarantees; search engines may show different snippets.

Canonical and indexing signals

A canonical identifies the preferred version of a page. A noindex directive asks search engines not to index it. Neither a canonical nor a sitemap proves that Google has indexed a URL.

Headings and image descriptions

Use headings to organize information. Meaningful images need useful alternatives; decorative images may correctly use an empty alt attribute. The automated check counts missing attributes, not the quality of every description.

What requires additional testing?

Core Web Vitals require browser or field measurements. Rankings need search data. A full crawl, robots rules, JavaScript-rendered content and authenticated pages are outside the free check. Discuss a scoped SEO review.
