What our e-book is about
We are always considering the needs of our users and the changes that are occurring in the world of SEO and web technology. To share our expertise, we have put together the ultimate SEO Site Audit checklist that explains important components of the proficient site analysis, including:
Crawlability
You need to make sure that every important page of your website is accessible to search engine bots, and that all of the pages you do not want to be indexed are hidden from them. Make your robots.txt and XML sitemap work to your benefit and not against you by ensuring that they contain no errors.
Site Architecture
Efficient organization of the content on your site is a recipe for happy users and crawlers. You need to create SEO-friendly URLs, considering all the nuances, and attentively use a site checker to audit all of your website’s internal and external linking for various mistakes and incorrect redirects.
On-page Issues
Content was crowned by the SEO community a long time ago and it continues to rule to this day. And being a blue-blooded element, it demands special care for itself and its courtiers – meta tags. You have to attend to bothersome duplicates, suboptimal titles, headers, and descriptions that suck the SEO energy out of your pages.
Technical SEO
“This page takes so long to load, but I will gladly wait,” said no one ever. Unoptimized visuals, poorly coded HTML, and moldy technology will drag you to the last SERP if you don’t start a preemptive war. Oh, and there is also mobile optimization, of course.
Accelerated Mobile Pages
AMP is a technology that can wildly increase the page speed. With AMP, mobile users are able to open the desired content from Google’s search results in an instant. AMP coding necessitates a lot of restrictions and specificities, and you'll have to abide by its rules. To help you set up your AMPs correctly, SEMrush detects over 40 AMP related mistakes while showing you the exact line of code where the error crept in.
HTTPS
It is no wonder that HTTPS is a ranking factor that is becoming more and more significant since security is as important in cyberspace as it is in the offline world. Nowadays, it is not only necessary for the websites that request sensitive data but for pretty much everyone. Admittedly, moving your website to HTTPS smoothly and maintaining a secured protocol is a complicated business that requires vigilance.
International SEO
For those cosmopolitan websites, we share a cautionary tale about a ferocious pack of SEO errors ready to tear your multilingual website to shreds. Setting the correct language to appear for the right audience and making the search engines to cooperate is a difficult endeavor where mistakes are very hard to dodge.
In Conclusion
With the right tool and the proper techniques for performing a website audit, you can handle the task of auditing your site. The SEMrush Site Audit tool offers full functionality, even with a basic Pro Plan, and offers a free crawl for 100 pages, so you can try it right away. Now go ahead and fix your website! And please tell us about your experience. Your feedback will be much appreciated as it helps us evolve.
