How to use the SEO Audit tool in practice
Here’s how to work with the audit:
1. Run a full site scan
Once activated, our crawler begins scanning your entire website. You’ll get an overview showing:
- Total number of pages scanned
- HTTP status distribution (e.g., 200 OK, 301 redirects, 404 errors, 500 server errors)
- Orphan pages (pages with no internal links)
- Overall site health score
This gives you a quick snapshot of how your website is performing technically.
2. Explore detailed issue reports
Dive deeper by viewing:
- Errors: High-priority issues that may prevent indexing or hurt rankings (e.g., broken canonical tags, duplicate titles)
- Warnings: Issues that can reduce performance (e.g., missing alt attributes, uncompressed images)
- Notices: Lower priority, but still worth reviewing (e.g., meta description length)
Each issue type is clickable. When you select one, you’ll see:
- A full list of affected URLs
- A plain-language explanation of the problem
- Suggestions on how to resolve it
3. Review scanned pages individually
You can also browse through each page that was scanned to understand its individual technical profile. Use this to spot patterns, diagnose specific issues, or prioritise updates.
4. Use Lighthouse-powered Page Speed analysis
Within the audit, you also get access to Page Speed reports using Google Lighthouse. You can run speed tests on any URL on your site to see:
- Load time
- Core Web Vitals
- Performance scores across desktop and mobile
This is essential for identifying speed-related issues and ensuring your pages meet Google’s performance standards.
5. Schedule regular audits
By default, your site is scanned once per month, giving you a consistent pulse on your technical SEO health. This helps you catch new issues as they arise and avoid performance degradation over time.
