How to check the SEO of a website?

Last Updated: Sep 7, 20261 min read

Checking a website’s SEO means auditing three separate layers: technical health, on-page content, and off-page authority, since a strong score in one area can still be undone by a weak score in another.

Start technical, because it’s usually the layer people skip. Run the site through Google’s PageSpeed Insights for Core Web Vitals, check Search Console’s Coverage report for pages Google can’t index, and confirm there’s no accidental “noindex” tag or blocked robots.txt line hiding pages from search entirely (we’ve seen this kill traffic on an otherwise well-built site more than once). Then move to on-page: are title tags and meta descriptions written for the actual page content, do headings follow a logical order, and does each page target one clear keyword instead of competing with three other pages on the same site for the same term. Off-page comes last: a quick backlink check in Ahrefs or Semrush shows whether the site has any real authority behind it, or whether it’s trying to rank purely on content alone.

A basic self-check covers:

  • Indexing status: is the page actually showing up in Google at all (search “site:yourdomain.com/page-url”)
  • Page speed and mobile usability via PageSpeed Insights
  • Title tags, meta descriptions, and heading structure on key pages
  • Broken links and duplicate content, which quietly dilute rankings over time

Pro Tip

Checking a website’s SEO means reviewing technical health, on-page content, and backlink authority together, since a weak spot in any one layer limits the other two.
