Today we will talk about an accessible and free (as of now) way to conduct a technical audit of a website.
In the middle of the year, one of the popular SEO services made it possible to connect your sites for audit, but with one important requirement: you must have an account in Google Search Console to confirm ownership of the site.
Let's figure out how it works.
The fastest way to register is to use the Google Sign In feature.
After this, the system will prompt you to select preferences for mailings and indicate where you learned about the service.
Now you just need to import your site into the system. To do this, click the “Import” button and follow the instructions.
Agree to all the terms of Google and the system, and the process of adding a site will begin. After this, the service will begin scanning your site using a special tool.
To view the audit results, you need to go to the “Site Audit” section. On the page, select your project.
A table with previous and current scans will open at the bottom of the page. This will allow you to track changes and the effectiveness of the activities carried out.
In the window that opens, you can see an overview of all errors on the site.
From the menu on the left, select “All issues” to see a complete list of all issues. The "Crawled" column will show how many pages have a particular error.
Clicking on the numbers will take you to a page with a full list of URLs where the error occurs, as well as a history of the issue.
Having gone through all the errors, you can draw up technical specifications for the programmer. The system allows you to download error lists in various formats:
You can configure when and how often the service will crawl your site. The following options are available for this:
However, it is worth remembering that on a free account the limit on the number of URLs checked is 5000 per month.
This method is not ideal because some errors can only be detected manually. It is recommended to conduct an additional audit using other tools, for example, using the Screaming Frog SEO Spider, which will allow you to identify almost all errors on the site.
