What is wrong, worst first
critical Homepage returns error 403
The page your visitors land on returns an HTTP error code instead of content.
Fix: Fix the server error or the routing rule for the homepage.
critical Not mobile-friendly (no viewport tag)
On phones the page renders zoomed-out and unreadable. Over half of web traffic is mobile, and Google ranks mobile-first.
Fix: Add <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> to <head>.
high Insecure http version is not redirected
Visitors who type your address without "https" stay on an unencrypted connection.
Fix: Add a permanent 301 redirect from http:// to https:// in your web server or CDN settings.
high No meta description
Google writes its own snippet for your search result, often badly.
Fix: Add <meta name="description" content="..."> with a 120-155 character sales sentence.
high No social preview tags (Open Graph)
When someone shares your link on LinkedIn, Slack, WhatsApp or Facebook it appears as a bare grey link with no image. This measurably reduces click-through.
Fix: Add og:title, og:description and og:image (1200x630 px) meta tags to <head>.
high No main heading (H1) on the page
Search engines use the H1 to understand what the page is about; you have none.
Fix: Add exactly one <h1> containing your main proposition.
high No visible way to contact you
The homepage has no email link, phone link or form. Interested visitors leave.
Fix: Put an email link or a short contact form above the fold.
medium Page title is very short ("nytimes.com")
Short titles waste the strongest on-page ranking signal you have.
Fix: Expand the title to 30-60 characters: what you do + who for + brand name.
medium No character encoding declared
Accented characters and symbols can render as garbage.
Fix: Add <meta charset="utf-8"> as the first line inside <head>.
medium No canonical URL
Duplicate versions of the page (with/without slash, tracking parameters) compete against each other in search.
Fix: Add <link rel="canonical" href="https://yourdomain.com/"> to <head>.
medium Pages are sent uncompressed
HTML is transferring 3-4x larger than it needs to, costing every visitor time and you bandwidth.
Fix: Enable gzip or brotli compression in your web server or CDN.
medium No sitemap.xml
Search engines discover your pages only by following links, so deep pages get missed.
Fix: Generate /sitemap.xml (most CMS platforms have a plugin) and submit it in Google Search Console.
low Missing or non-standard doctype
Browsers may fall back to quirks mode and lay the page out incorrectly.
Fix: Make the first line of the document exactly: <!DOCTYPE html>
low 2 security headers missing: X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy
X-Content-Type-Options - Browsers may guess file types and execute an upload as script. Referrer-Policy - Full URLs of your pages leak to every third-party site you link to.
Fix: Send: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff Send: Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
low No structured data (schema.org)
You are not eligible for rich search results: star ratings, business hours, FAQ dropdowns.
Fix: Add a JSON-LD block describing your Organization, LocalBusiness or Product.
