The Meta Tag Trap
Most developers think SEO is about meta tags. Title? Check. Description? Check. OG image? Check. Ship it.
But search engines in 2026 evaluate far more than your <head>. They care about content depth, technical health, link structure, accessibility, and performance. Our SEO+ tool checks 50+ factors across five categories to give you the full picture.
Content: More Than Word Count
Yes, having enough content matters (aim for 300+ words), but the nuances are where rankings are won or lost:
Readability Scoring
We run a Flesch-Kincaid analysis on your content. A score of 60+ means most web visitors can easily read it. Below 30? You're writing academic papers, not web content.
Flesch score: 72/100 — Easy to read
Avg 14.2 words/sentence, 47 sentencesHeading Hierarchy
Search engines use headings to understand content structure. Skipping levels (H1 → H3 without H2) signals poor organization:
Good: H1 → H2 → H3 → H2 → H3
Bad: H1 → H3 → H2 → H4Image Alt Text
Every image without alt text is a missed opportunity — both for accessibility and for image search rankings.
Technical: The Invisible Foundation
Structured Data Validation
Having JSON-LD is good. Having valid JSON-LD is better. We check required fields per schema.org type:
- Article: needs
headline - Organization: needs
nameandurl - Product: needs
nameandoffers - FAQPage: needs
mainEntityarray - BreadcrumbList: needs
itemListElement
robots.txt and Sitemap
Two files that most developers forget about:
- robots.txt tells crawlers what to index. Missing it? Any crawler does whatever it wants.
- sitemap.xml helps search engines discover pages. We check both
/sitemap.xmland any sitemaps referenced in robots.txt.
Accessibility: SEO's Best Friend
Google increasingly factors accessibility into rankings. Our checks include:
- ARIA landmarks:
<header>,<nav>,<main>,<footer>— screen readers need these - Skip navigation links: Keyboard users shouldn't have to tab through your entire nav on every page
- Form labels: Every
<input>needs an associated<label>oraria-label
The Redirect Chain
Every redirect adds latency. We track the full chain:
301 → http://example.com
302 → https://example.com
200 → https://www.example.comThree hops before your content loads. That's 300-500ms of wasted time.
