Guide overview
Users searching for site audit tools want to understand what gets checked and how fixes affect rankings.
Purpose
Site Audit crawls project pages and reports technical SEO issues that can block crawling, weaken indexation, reduce page quality, or make search snippets less effective.
Ranking Impact
Fixing audit issues can improve crawl efficiency, indexability, page quality, internal linking, and search presentation. Not every issue is equally important, so severity and affected-page count should guide priorities.
How To Use It
- Start an audit from the project dashboard.
- Review overview, issues, pages, statistics, compare, and progress tabs.
- Prioritize critical issues such as blocked pages, broken links, missing titles, canonical problems, HTTPS problems, and server errors.
- Rerun the audit after fixes to confirm progress.
Key Metrics

Use Cases

- Pre-launch review
- Monthly site health reporting
- Developer handoff
FAQ
Run it after major releases, migrations, template changes, and at least monthly for active sites.
No. Technical health is one part of SEO. Content quality, intent match, authority, competition, and search demand also matter.
