Metadata and on-page SEO

Titles, descriptions and tags that say what each page is.

What it tells you

Part of AI readability. These checks read the title, description and tags that tell a crawler, and an AI answer, what each page is.

Checks

Has <title>

No <title>. It is the strongest identifier a page has and the label every result set uses.

Read the documentation ›

Title not too long

The title is longer than about 65 characters and will be truncated in results. The page still ranks on the full title.

Read the documentation ›

Title not too short

The title is under 30 characters, which usually means it carries less context than it could.

Read the documentation ›

Single <title> tag

More than one <title>. Consumers take one and ignore the rest, so which one wins is unpredictable.

Read the documentation ›

Unique <title>

The same <title> as other pages on the site, so the pages cannot be told apart in a result set.

Read the documentation ›

Title relevant to content

The title does not appear to match the page content. Alignment between the two helps a page match the queries it should.

Read the documentation ›

Has meta description

No meta description. Google frequently writes its own from page content, so this affects presentation more than discovery.

Read the documentation ›

Unique meta description

The same meta description appears on other pages, which weakens how well each page is distinguished in results.

Read the documentation ›

Description relevant to content

The meta description does not match the page content, which makes it more likely Google replaces it.

Read the documentation ›

Meta keywords relevant to content

The meta keywords tag does not match the content. Google has ignored this tag for many years, so the practical effect is near zero.

Read the documentation ›

No duplicate meta tags

The page repeats a meta tag. Consumers take one and ignore the rest, so the outcome is unpredictable rather than broken.

Read the documentation ›

Has H1

The page has no H1. The H1 is the strongest single statement of what a page is about, and extraction pipelines lean on it heavily.

Read the documentation ›

Images have alt text

Images have no alt text. Alt text is content, it describes the image to crawlers and to assistive technology, but its absence does not hide the page text.

Read the documentation ›

Images have title attribute

Images have no title attribute. This attribute carries very little search value; alt text is what matters.

Read the documentation ›

SEO-friendly URL

The URL is not descriptive. Readable URLs help people and give a small extra signal, but opaque URLs index normally.

Read the documentation ›

SEO score

The Lighthouse SEO score for this page is below 90. This is a summary, the individual SEO audits that pulled it down are listed as their own findings.

Read the documentation ›

Snippets allowed

The page tells search engines not to show a text snippet from it. The page can still be indexed, but its text cannot be quoted, which removes it from answers that work by citation.

Read the documentation ›

Archiving allowed

A noarchive tag stops engines keeping a cached copy; minor for AI, but it limits some tools.
