What the free SEO check looks at
Sitequiry fetches the page once, reads its HTML and HTTP headers, and asks Google PageSpeed Insights for the Lighthouse SEO audit. These checks feed the SEO score:
- Title: present and between 20 and 70 characters. Very short titles rarely say what the page offers; long ones are often cut off in results.
- Meta description: present and between 70 and 170 characters. Google builds snippets mainly from the page content and may use the meta description when it describes the page better (Google Search Central).
- Headings and structure: exactly one H1, a
<main>element and content divided into sections. - Indexing signals: a canonical tag, no
noindexin the robots meta tag or theX-Robots-TagHTTP header, and a declared page language (lang). - Images: flagged when fewer than 70% of them carry alt text.
- HTTPS and a baseline set of security headers (reported as findings; they do not change the score).
- Lighthouse SEO audit: Google's automated checks for crawlability and basic markup, run through PageSpeed Insights.
How the SEO score is put together
The SEO score has two parts, and the report shows each one separately. Technical SEO counts for 60%: it is the Lighthouse SEO score when PageSpeed responds, and Sitequiry's own HTML checks when it does not. Content and search clarity counts for 40%: whether the title, description, headings and structure tell a searcher plainly what the page is about.
The split exists because Lighthouse checks basic markup, such as whether a meta description exists, not whether the title and description are any good. A page titled "Home" can score well in Lighthouse and still be a weak search result. Two numbers show whether the fix belongs in the code or in the copy.
Speed and AI readiness in the same report
Next to the SEO score you get three more. Speed comes from Google PageSpeed on mobile and desktop; the website speed test page explains how it is weighted. AEO looks at answer readiness: which AI crawlers your robots.txt lets in, whether an llms.txt file exists and what structured data the page carries (what AEO means). GEO looks at citability: whether the content shows who is behind it and states facts plainly enough to be quoted (what GEO means).
Both AI scores describe readiness signals on your page. No outside tool can see how often ChatGPT, Gemini or Google AI Overviews cite a site, and Sitequiry does not claim to measure that.
Measured, detected or inferred
Every finding carries one of three labels, so you can judge how much weight it deserves:
- Measured: a value returned by a measurement, such as the Lighthouse SEO score.
- Detected: something present or missing in the fetched HTML, the HTTP headers or robots.txt, such as a second H1 or a
noindexheader. - Inferred: a judgement drawn from several signals, such as how clearly the page states its offer. Read these as a second opinion to verify, not a verdict.
What a single-page SEO checker cannot tell you
Some questions people bring to an SEO tool are answered elsewhere:
- Whether Google has indexed the page, and which canonical it chose: only URL Inspection in Google Search Console knows.
- Rankings, impressions and clicks: the Performance report in Search Console.
- Search demand and keyword volume: Sitequiry does not estimate them.
- Backlinks and mentions on other websites: not counted.
If a page passes the checks and still gets no traffic, why a high SEO score is not a ranking lists what to check next, and Search Console vs an SEO audit shows how the two sources fit together.
From findings to fixes
- Start with anything that can keep the page out of search: a stray
noindex, a canonical that points elsewhere, a robots.txt rule that blocks Googlebot. - Then fix what searchers see in the results: the title and the description.
- Then structure: one H1, clear sections, alt text on meaningful images.
- Fix the template rather than one page. A problem found on one product or service page usually repeats on every page built from the same template.
- Test again after 24 hours. Within that window the same address returns the stored result.
How to fix SEO audit issues takes ten common findings and gives each a way to confirm it, a safe fix and a re-test.
Quick checks for a single question
When you only need one answer, a free single-purpose tool is faster than a full analysis:
- Meta tag checker: the title, meta description and key on-page tags, as fetched.
- Canonical and hreflang checker: conflicting canonicals, invalid language codes and missing return links between language versions.
- AI crawler checker: which AI search and training bots your robots.txt allows or blocks.
One page free, up to 20 in the Site Report
The free analysis covers exactly the URL you enter. Because many findings come from templates, the paid Site Report checks up to 20 key pages of one site, picked from your sitemap and internal links, and adds broken links, redirects and duplicate titles across them. Sitequiry itself does not change your site; if you want the fixes implemented, the GE-KO agency takes inquiries.
Frequently asked questions
Is the SEO analysis really free?
Yes. You get the full result for one page, with no account and no payment. To keep the service available there is a limit of ten analyses per hour from one IP address.
How is this different from running Lighthouse myself?
Lighthouse is one input. Sitequiry adds checks Lighthouse does not make, such as title and description length and the number of H1 headings, scores content clarity separately, and puts speed and AI readiness into the same report with labelled evidence.
Will fixing every finding improve my rankings?
Not on its own. The findings remove reasons a page could be misread or skipped. Where it ranks still depends on relevance to the query, the competing pages and what other sites say about you.
Can I check a page that is not public yet?
No. Sitequiry and Google PageSpeed fetch the page from the internet, so a staging site behind a password or an IP restriction cannot be analyzed.
