Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Tools
 
  • HTML Page Size Check
    HTML size is the size of all the HTML code on your web page - this size does not include image, external javascripts or external CSS files.
  • HTML Compression Status Check
    HTML compression status shows if your HTML is compressed as it is sent from your server.
  • HTML Compression (If compressed) Check
    HTML compression status shows if your HTML is compressed as it is sent from your server.
  • HTML Size (If compressed) Check
    HTML size is the size of all the HTML code on your web page - this size does not include image, external javascripts or external CSS files.
  • x-cache Header Check
    Cache header info shows you if your site is serving cached pages. Caches reduce server-load (since pages are generated less often) and speeds up page display (by caching page ouput vs compiling the php-page). Caches also reduces bandwidth requirements by up to 80%. Caching makes most sense for high traffic pages whose content does not change on every page view. Common caching methods are Quickcache and jpcache.
  • Meta tags Check
    Check your meta tags
  • Most common keywords & keywords usage Check
    Check most common keywords & keywords usage
  • h1 heading & h2 heading status Check
    Check h1 heading & h2 heading status
  • robots.txt file Check
    The robots.txt file gives instructions to web robots about how to behave on the site. The robots.txt file can indicate to robots that certain parts of your server are off-limits to some or all robots. Having a robots.txt file also prevents recurring error messages from being generated in Apache logs due to a missing robots.txt file.
  • sitemap.xml file Check
    Sitemaps help inform search engines about pages on a site that are available for crawling. A sitemap is typically an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site.
  • URL canonicalization Check
    Canonicalization describes how a site can use slightly different URLs for the same page - for example: if http://www.example.com and http://example.com resolves to the same page. If this happens, search engines may be unsure as to which URL is the correct one to index. Learn more about canonicalization issues.
  • image expires tag Check
    This checks if your page is using an image expires tag, which specifies a future expiration date for your images. Browsers will see this tag and caches the image in the user's browser until the specified date (so that it does not keep re-fetching the unchanged image from your server). This speeds up your site the next time that user visits your site and requires the same image.
  • Favicon Check
    Favicons are small icons that appear in your browser's URL navigation bar. They are also saved next to your URL's title when bookmarking that page. They can help brand your site and make it easy for users to navigate to your site among a list of bookmarks.
  • Objects Check
    Check objects
  • Page objects Check
    Check page objects
  • Directory browsing Check
    This describes if your server allows directory browsing. If directory browsing is disabled, visitors will not be able to browse your directory by accessing the directory directly (if there is no index.html file). This will protect your files from being exposed to the public. Apache web server allows directory browsing by default. Disabling directory browsing is generally a good idea from a security standpoint.
  • libwww-perl access Check
    This describes if your server allows access from User-agent Libwww-perl. Botnet scripts that automatically look for vulnerabilities in your software are sometimes identified as User-Agent libwww-perl. By blocking access from libwww-perl you can eliminate many simpler attacks.
  • Server signature Check
    This describes if your server signature is on. Turn off server signature is generally a good idea from a security standpoint.
