What Gets Checked

Every audit covers nine categories: crawlability and indexability, on-page SEO essentials, technical performance, security and trust, mobile experience, content and structure, links and navigation, accessibility, and conversion signals. Results come from Google's PageSpeed Insights and Lighthouse, direct HTTP and HTML analysis, DNS lookups, and automated accessibility testing.
