Page essentials checker

Reads one page the way search does and tells you, in order, what is holding it back: the title, the description, the H1, thin content, image alts, and links.

This check is part of the membership

Members run it on their own pages, with every other check, the decision tools and the courses.

Why this is worth checking

Most pages that do not rank are not being outcompeted, they are missing something basic: no description, two h1s, a title written for the company rather than the search. This reads a page the way search first reads it, before any judgement about quality, and tells you what is simply absent.

What it looks at

  • Title and description length
  • How many h1s the page has
  • Enough content to be worth ranking
  • Alt text, canonical, internal links

It reads what is in the markup. Anything drawn by JavaScript after the page loads is not in what you paste, and is also invisible to the first thing search sees.
