Errors on a website can significantly affect the perception and ranking of pages in search engines. To understand what is causing problems with a position, regular audits need to be carried out.
A quick self-check allows you to detect major errors. This audit of each page can be completed in just 15 minutes, covering both technical aspects and optimization elements.
It is recommended to select several different pages to test that play a key role in traffic and content. This will help identify errors that may be present on other pages. For example, take a product page, a blog post, and a product category page.
Start by checking how your site is indexed in search engines.
Enter your company name into a search engine and see if your site appears in the results. Pay attention to how the site snippet looks - it should be attractive to users, with a clear title and description that clearly explains what the site is and how it is useful.
To obtain information about the number of indexed pages, use the request “site:yoursite.ru”. This will show the approximate number of pages in the search engine index.
For a more detailed analysis of indexing, use the Index Status section in Google Search Console.
If the search engine shows too low the number of indexed pages, this may mean that parts of them are hidden from indexing. Some important pages may be missed by bots.
If the amount of indexing is in doubt, check the server log files. These files will help you understand how the crawling budget is distributed.
To correct the situation, you can use the robots.txt file to specify which pages search engines should crawl and which should not. It is important that the file contains a link to the site map.
Also, if you think that the bot is working slowly, you can increase the page processing speed. To do this, request an accelerated crawl from the Google Webmaster Help Center if your server has sufficient capacity.
Search engines can impose penalties for violations, but sometimes this happens without notification to site owners.
If the site does not lose traffic, the sanctions may have gone unnoticed. But even if this does not happen, it is better to check whether the site is under the filter.
To check sanctions from Yandex, go to Yandex.Webmaster in the “Diagnostics” - “Security and Violations” section. In Google, this can be done in the Search Traffic - Manual Actions section of the Google Search Console.
If there are no notifications, but traffic is decreasing, it is worth checking the site using third-party tools to make sure that it is not included in the register of prohibited sites or under filters.
You can use site analysis tools to obtain information about sanctions and filters. It is important to remember that Roskomnadzor blocks sites if they contain prohibited information, without prior warning.
If sanctions are detected, action depends on the cause. If this is due to spam, you will need to rewrite the content to remove redundant keywords. If the reason is too many banners, they should be reduced or removed. In the case of purchased links, you need to cancel their use.
If the blocking occurred by decision of Roskomnadzor and you consider it erroneous, you can seek advice from specialized organizations, for example, Roskomsvoboda.
Some SEOs use hidden text, which is not visible to users, but is perceived by search engines. This method is prohibited and may result in penalties.
If your site uses hidden text, it must be removed or made visible to avoid penalties from search engines.
Sometimes hidden text is used to enhance the page experience, for example to describe JavaScript elements and images. It is important to duplicate such elements in the tag
To analyze hidden content, you can use browser extensions to test the page rendering without CSS styles and JavaScript elements.
Page loading speed affects user behavior. If a site takes a long time to load, many visitors will abandon it, resulting in a higher bounce rate.
To evaluate loading speed, you can use testing tools that will show both page load time and server first response time.
To speed up page loading, it is worth optimizing the code and reducing the page size. It is also important to ensure that JS elements and styles load quickly so that pages load faster.
Attention should be paid to the key elements of SEO that affect the ranking and perception of a site by search engines.
These points can be checked manually, but to save time, you should use automatic services that will help analyze pages based on important parameters.
For detailed analysis, you can use advanced tools that check pages for errors and make recommendations for improvement.
