Google search results typically uses your webpage title, url and meta-description in order to display relevant summarized information about your site. If these elements are too long, Google will truncate their content. Webpage title up to 70 characters in length, and webpage descriptions up to 160 characters in length are recommended in order to optimize readability.
Social Media Meta Tags Test
89% of top 100 sites passed
This webpage is not using social media meta tags! While this type of meta tags don't affect what people see when they visit the webpage, they exist to provide information about it to search engines and social media platforms.

Social Media Meta Tags Test

How to pass this test?

In order to pass this test, you'll have to add social media meta tags into your webpage's "head" section. Social media meta tags are snippets of HTML code that control how URLs are displayed when shared on social media. Facebook and Twitter are, by far, the most popular social media platforms, so let's focus on those two.

Facebook uses meta tags leveraging the Open Graph protocol, which enables any web page to become a rich object in a social graph. A complete list of meta tags available can be found in the Open Graph website. You'll find there multiple tags and how to use them, but only four are required for Facebook to understand the basics of your page:

<meta property="og:title" content="Add title here">
<meta property="og:description" content="Add description here">
<meta property="og:image" content="https://your-website.com/og-image.png">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://your-website.com">

Twitter has its own meta tags that are similar to the Open Graph protocol, but uses the "twitter" prefix instead of "og". As with Facebook, only a few are required:

<meta name="twitter:title" content="Add title here">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="Add description here">
<meta name="twitter:url" content="https://your-website.com/twitter-image.png">
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary">
This test will check if the analyzed webpage is using social media meta tags. While this type of meta tags don't affect what people see when they visit the webpage, they exist to provide information about it to search engines and social media platforms. Also, when a link is shared, both Facebook and Twitter will scrape the associated webpage and read its meta tags to display the appropriate information. Thus, social media meta tags will help to amplify your webpage's content, will improve brand visibility and will help to generate website traffic.
Most Common Keywords Test
There is likely no optimal keyword density (search engine algorithms have evolved beyond keyword density metrics as a significant ranking factor). It can be useful, however, to note which keywords appear most often on your page and if they reflect the intended topic of your page. More importantly, the keywords on your page should appear within natural sounding and grammatically correct copy.

Analytisch
Check if your webpage is using any H1 and H2 HTML header tags. Header tags are not visible to users, but help clarify and support the overall theme or purpose of your page to search engines. The H1 tag represents the most important heading, e.g., the title of the page or blog post. The H2 tag represents the second most important headings on the webpages, e.g., the subheadings.
Robots.txt Test
99% of top 100 sites passed
This website is using a robots.txt file.
Check if your website is using a robots.txt file. When search engine robots crawl a website, they typically first access a site's robots.txt file. Robots.txt tells Googlebot and other crawlers what is and is not allowed to be crawled on your site.
Sitemap Test
83% of top 100 sites passed
This website has a sitemap file.
Check if the website has a sitemap. A sitemap is important as it lists all the web pages of the site and let search engine crawlers to crawl the website more intelligently. A sitemap also provides valuable metadata for each webpage.
Image Alt Test
78% of top 100 sites passed
This webpage is using "img" tags with empty or missing "alt" attribute!

Image Alt Test

How to pass this test?

In order to pass this test you must add an alt attribute to every <img> tag used into your webpage.

An image with an alternate text specified is inserted using the following HTML line:

<img src="image.png" alt="text_to_describe_your_image">

Remember that the point of alt text is to provide the same functional information that a visual user would see. Search engines, users who disabled images in their browsers and other agents who are unable to see the images on your webpage can read the alt attributes assigned to the image since they cannot view it.

Learn more about optimizing images for SEO.

Check if images on your webpage are using alt attributes. If an image cannot be displayed (e.g., due to broken image source, slow internet connection, etc), the alt attribute provides alternative information. Using relevant keywords and text in the alt attribute can help both users and search engines better interpret the subject of an image.
Responsive Image Test
29% of top 100 sites passed
Not all images in this webpage are properly sized! This webpage is serving images that are larger than needed for the size of the user's viewport.

Responsive Image Test

How to pass this test?

This issue can be fixed by using responsive images, which relies on creating multiple versions of each image, that are served via CSS media queries depending on the user's viewport dimensions.

Another solution can be to use vector-based image formats like SVG. SVG images scale appropriately to any size, without wasting unnecessary bandwidth. Also consider image CDNs that can help serve responsive images.

This test will check if all of your page's images are appropriately sized for your user's viewport. Ideally, your page should not serve images that are larger than the version that's rendered on the user's screen. Serving an image larger than the user's viewport results in scaling down the image, use of unnecessary bandwidth, and slower page load time.
Image Aspect Ratio Test
75% of top 100 sites passed
Not all image display dimensions match the natural aspect ratio! Fix aspect ratio issues to avoid distorted images on this website!

Image Aspect Ratio Test

How to pass this test?

There are two common causes for an incorrect image aspect ratio:

  • An image is set to explicit width and height values that differ from the source image's dimensions.
  • An image is set to a width and height as a percentage of a variably-sized container.

To help avoid these issues, consider using an image CDN, to help automate the process of creating different size versions of your image.

Also check any CSS that can affects the image's aspect ratio - if you're having trouble finding the CSS that's causing the incorrect aspect ratio, Chrome DevTools can show you the CSS declarations that affect a given image.

Finally, check the image's width and height attributes in the HTML. When possible, it's good practice to specify each image's width and height attributes in your HTML so that the browser can allocate space for the image. This approach helps to ensure that content below the image doesn't shift once the image is loaded.

This test will check if all images are displayed with a correct aspect ratio. If a rendered image has an aspect ratio that's significantly different from the aspect ratio in its source file (the natural aspect ratio), the rendered image may look distorted, possibly creating an unpleasant user experience.
Deprecated HTML Tags Test
94% of top 100 sites passed
This webpage does not use HTML deprecated tags.
Check if your webpage is using old, deprecated HTML tags. These tags will eventually lose browser support and your web pages may render incorrectly as browsers drop support for these tags.
Google Analytics Test
72% of top 100 sites passed
This webpage is using Google Analytics.
Check if your website is connected with Google Analytics. Google Analytics is a popular, free website analysis tool that helps provide insights about your site's traffic and demographics.
Favicon Test
100% of top 100 sites passed
This website either doesn't have a favicon or this has not been referenced correctly!

Favicon Test

How to pass this test?

To add a favicon to your site, you need to have your logo created in a 16x16 PNG, GIF or ICO image and uploaded to your web server. Then it's simply a matter of adding the following code into the header of your HTML code for your web pages:

<head>
  <link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="url_to_my_favicon" />
  <title>My Title</title>
</head>

In the example above the "url_to_my_favicon" refers to the actual location of your favicon file.

Check if your site is using and correctly implementing a favicon. Favicons are small icons that appear in your browser's URL navigation bar. They are also saved next to your URL's title when your page is bookmarked. This helps brand your site and make it easy for users to navigate to your site among a list of bookmarks.
JS Error Test
83% of top 100 sites passed
There are no severe JavaScript errors on this webpage.
Check your page for JavaScript errors. These errors may prevent users from properly viewing your pages and impact their user experience. Sites with poor user experience tend to rank worse in search engine results.
Console Errors Test
27% of top 100 sites passed
This webpage has some errors caught by the Chrome DevTools Console!

Console Errors Test

How to pass this test?

In order to pass this test, you have to fix all the warnings and errors reported in Chrome DevTools console. You can also visit Google's documentation for further troubleshooting support: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/issues/

This will check the Chrome DevTools Console for warnings and errors. These errors may prevent users from properly viewing your pages and impact their user experience. Sites with poor user experience tend to rank worse in search engine results.
Charset Declaration Test
96% of top 100 sites passed
This webpage has a character encoding declaration.
meta charset="UTF-8"
This test will check if the webpage has a character encoding declaration ("charset"). If the server doesn't specify a character encoding format when it sends an HTML file, the browser may display some characters incorrectly to users. Google recommends using the Unicode/UTF-8 character set when possible.

HTML Page Size Test
23% of top 100 sites passed
The size of this webpage's HTML is 10.83 Kb and is under the average webpage's HTML size of 33 Kb. Faster loading websites result in a better user experience, higher conversion rates, and generally better search engine rankings.
Check your page's HTML size. HTML size is the size of all the HTML code on your web page - this size does not include images, external JavaScript or CSS files.
DOM Size Test
56% of top 100 sites passed
The Document Object Model (DOM) of this webpage has 687 nodes which is less than the recommended value of 1,500 nodes.
This test will check the size of the DOM tree. When a web page is loaded, the browser creates a Document Object Model (DOM) of the page. All the tags in the HTML document are called nodes and the sum of them is translated as the DOM size. A large DOM tree will likely increase memory usage, cause longer style calculations, and may produce slower layout rendering.
HTML Compression/GZIP Test
99% of top 100 sites passed
This webpage is successfully compressed using gzip compression on your code. The HTML code is compressed from 63.54 Kb to 10.83 Kb (83% size savings). This helps ensure a faster loading webpage and improved user experience.
Check if your website is using HTML compression. HTML compression plays an important role in improving website speed by finding similar strings within a text file and replacing them temporarily to reduce overall file size.

Image Caching Test
95% of top 100 sites passed
This website is not using cache headers for images. Setting cache headers can help speed up the serving of a webpage for returning users. Learn more about how to add expires headers to your images.

Image Caching Test

How to pass this test?

In order to reduce the number of HTTP requests, you can use the HTTP Expires header to set an expiration time for your images or any other content type. You can add the following lines into your .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
    ExpiresActive on
 
    ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month"
</IfModule>
Checks if your page is using an image expires tag, which specifies a future expiration date for your images. Browsers will see this tag and cache the image until the specified date (it doesn't re-fetch the unchanged image from your server). This speeds up your site the next time returning visitors arrive at your site and require the same image.
JavaScript Caching Test
96% of top 100 sites passed
This webpage is not using cache headers for JavaScript resources! Setting cache headers can help to speed up the webpage for returning users.

Render Blocking Resources Test
15% of top 100 sites passed
This webpage is using render blocking resources! Eliminating render-blocking resources can help this webpage to load significantly faster and will improve the website experience for your visitors.

Render Blocking Resources Test

How to pass this test?

In order to pass this test, you have to reduce the impact of render-blocking resources.

First, you have to identify what's critical and what's not. You can use the Chrome DevTools (Coverage tab) to identify non-critical CSS and JS.

Once you've identified critical code, you can try the below methods to eliminate render-blocking resources:

  • inline critical JS within a script tag in your HTML document
  • inline critical CSS required for the first paint inside a style block in the head of the HTML document
  • move the script and link tags at the end of the HTML document
  • add async or defer attributes to non-critical script or link tags
  • split CSS styles into different files, organized by media query
  • compress and minify your text-based resources
This test will check if any of the webpage's JavaScript or CSS resources is blocking the render process. When the browser encounters a render blocking resource, it stops downloading the rest of the resources until these critical files are processed. In the meantime, the entire rendering process is put on hold. Aim to reduce the impact of these render-blocking URLs by inlining critical resources, deferring non-critical resources, and removing anything unused. This can greatly improve page load times and the user experience (factors which Google uses in its ranking algorithms).
URL Redirects Test
97% of top 100 sites passed

Largest Contentful Paint Test

How to pass this test?

The reason Google chose LCP as a relevant SEO metric is that it directly influences user experience. The loading of the biggest element on a page determines how quickly the user will be able to view its contents and interact with it. For most websites, you can improve the Largest Contentful Paint by sticking to a few guiding principles:

  • Try to reduce the server response time.
  • Eliminate as many render-blocking resources (CSS and JavaScript) as possible.
  • Optimize the loading times for resources on the webpage.
This test will check the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) score of the analyzed webpage. LCP is a Core Web Vitals metric that measures when the largest element (image or text block) of a given web page becomes visible within the viewport, relative to when the page first started loading. To provide a good user experience, Google recommends that sites should strive to have Largest Contentful Paint of 2.5 seconds or less.
Cumulative Layout Shift Test
91% of top 100 sites passed
The CLS score of this webpage is 0.0000. To provide a good user experience, Google recommends that sites should strive to have a CLS score of 0.1 or less.

DOM element which contributes the most to CLS score:
Text: COLLECTIES UW VERKOOPPUNT SERVICE CONTACT
Html: <nav class="nav-links ">
Score: 0.0000
This test will check the Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) score of the analyzed webpage. CLS is a Core Web Vitals metric calculated by summing all layout shifts that aren't caused by user interaction. Basically, whenever a page loads, certain page elements unexpectedly shift, affecting the way users interact with the webpage. A website with a low CLS has a stable page display, which does not shift elements around and ensures a steady, predictable loading of all website content. To provide a good user experience, Google recommends that sites should strive to have a CLS score of 0.1 or less.

URL Canonicalization Test
93% of top 100 sites passed
https://thebalux.nl/ and https://www.thebalux.nl/ resolve to the same URL.
Test your site for potential URL canonicalization issues. Canonicalization describes how a site can use slightly different URLs for the same page (e.g., if http://www.example.com and http://example.com displays the same page but do not resolve to the same URL). If this happens, search engines may be unsure about which URL is the correct one to index. Learn more about canonicalization issues.

Check if your website is using HTTPS, a secure protocol for sending/receiving data over the Internet. Using HTTPS indicates that an additional encryption/authentication layer was added between client and server. HTTPS should be used by any site that collects sensitive customer data such as credit card information. Even for sites that do not collect such data, switching to https helps users by improving privacy and overall security. Google is increasingly using https as a positive ranking factor.
Mixed Content Test (HTTP over HTTPS)
100% of top 100 sites passed
This webpage does not use mixed content - both the initial HTML and all other resources are loaded over HTTPS.
This will check if all resources are loaded over a secure HTTPS connection. Mixed content occurs when initial HTML is loaded over a secure HTTPS connection, but other resources (such as images, videos, stylesheets, scripts) are loaded over an insecure HTTP connection. This is called mixed content because both HTTP and HTTPS content are being loaded to display the same page, and the initial request was secure over HTTPS. Browsers may block mixed content, so fixing this issue helps ensure your content loads as intended.
HTTP2 Test
99% of top 100 sites passed
This webpage is using the HTTP/2 protocol.
Checks if the webpage and all resources are served over HTTP/2. As the first major HTTP protocol update since 1997, HTTP/2 offers several key improvements such as increased speed and security.

Plaintext Emails Test
97% of top 100 sites passed
This webpage does not include email addresses in plaintext.
Check your webpage for plaintext email addresses. Any e-mail address posted in public is likely to be automatically collected by computer software used by bulk emailers (a process known as e-mail address harvesting). A spam harvester can read through the pages in your site and extract plaintext email addresses which are then added to bulk marketing databases (resulting in more inbox spam). There are several methods for email obfuscation.

Meta Viewport Test
92% of top 100 sites passed
This webpage is using a viewport meta tag.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1" />
This will check if the webpage is using a viewport meta tag, which is necessary for responsive web design. Without a viewport meta tag, mobile devices render pages at typical desktop screen widths and then scale the pages down, making them difficult to read. Setting the viewport meta tag lets you control the width and scaling of the viewport so that it's sized correctly on all devices.
Media Query Responsive Test
98% of top 100 sites passed
This webpage is using CSS media queries, which is the base for responsive design functionalities.

Structured Data Test
66% of top 100 sites passed
This webpage doesn't take the advantages of HTML Microdata or JSON-LD specifications in order to use structured data! View Google's guide for getting started with structured data.

Structured Data Test

How to pass this test?

HTML5 Microdata is an easy way to add semantic markup to your web pages. Search engines rely on this markup to improve the display of search results, making it easier for people to find the right web pages.

Here is a simple example of how to use HTML5 microdata in your contact web page:

<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person">
   <span itemprop="name">Joe Doe</span>
   <span itemprop="company">The Example Company</span>
   <span itemprop="tel">604-555-1234</span>
   <a itemprop="email" href="mailto:joe.doe@example.com">
      joe.doe@example.com
   </a>
</div>
Check if your webpage is using structured data markup. Search engines use structured data to better understand the content of your webpage and to create rich snippets in search results (which helps increase click-through rate to your site).
Custom 404 Error Page Test
80% of top 100 sites passed
This website is not using a custom 404 error page! Default 404 error pages result in a poor experience - it can mislead users into thinking an entire site is down or broken, greatly increases the chance they leave the website entirely, and looks unprofessional. We recommend to have a custom 404 error page in order to improve the website's user experience by letting users know that only a specific page is missing/broken (and not the entire site), providing them helpful links, the opportunity to report bugs, and potentially track the source of broken links.

Custom 404 Error Page Test

Creating a custom 404 error page can be relatively simple or more complicated, depending on what technologies were used to build your website (your web server, framework used, etc). Learn more about the basics of creating a custom 404 error page.

On your custom error page, you should provide relevant information to keep the user's attention so they remain on your website. Some steps to achieve this goal include:

  • Adding links to your most important pages (your best articles articles/content, latest posts, etc.)
  • If you have an e-commerce business, you can display special offers, product recommendations, discounts, etc.
  • Include a search box or a sitemap link to help users find the information they wanted.
  • Use simple language (non-technical) to explain what went wrong.
  • Add a contact form or provide an email address to allow users to get in touch with you for further help.

You can also use your custom 404 error page to track the source of broken links in your site.

This SEO test will check if your website is using a custom 404 error page. By creating a custom 404 error page, you can improve your website's user experience by letting users know that only a specific page is missing/broken (and not your entire site), providing them helpful links, the opportunity to report bugs, and potentially track the source of broken links in your site.
Noindex Tag Test
99% of top 100 sites passed
This webpage does not use the noindex meta tag. This means that it can be indexed by search engines.
Check if your webpage is using the robots meta tag or the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header to instruct search engines not to show your site in search results pages.
Canonical Tag Test
93% of top 100 sites passed
This webpage is using the canonical link tag. This tag specifies that the URL: https://www.thebalux.nl/ should be the preferred version of this page. The canonical tag can be useful when there are similar versions of the same content on several URLs (e.g., such as e-commerce sites where URL modifiers like sort parameters are appended to a product page's URL). Please ensure that this specification is correct, as canonical tags are often hard-coded and may not always reflect the latest changes in a site's URL structure.
<link href="https://www.thebalux.nl/" rel="canonical"/>

Canonical Tag Test

How to pass this test?

The Canonical Link Tag can be used when there are several pages with similar content and you want to tell the search engines which page you prefer to use in the search results. If your webpage does not have duplicate content and it has the preferred URL you must remove the canonical link tag.
Check if your webpage is using the canonical link tag. The canonical link tag is used to nominate a primary page when you have several pages with duplicate or very similar content.
Nofollow Tag Test
This webpage does not use the nofollow meta tag. This means that search engines will crawl all links from this webpage.
Check if your webpage is using the robots meta tag or the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header to instruct search engines not to follow the links on your page. Outgoing links marked with this tag will tell search engines not to follow or crawl that particular link. Google recommends that nofollow tags are used for paid advertisements on your site and links to pages that have not been vetted as trusted sites (e.g., links posted by users of your site).
Disallow Directive Test
Your robots.txt file includes a disallow command which instructs search engines to avoid certain parts of your website! You are advised to confirm if access to these resources or pages are intended to be blocked (e.g., if they contain internal-only content or sensitive information).
Check if your robots.txt file is instructing search engine crawlers to avoid parts of your website. The disallow directive is used in robots.txt to tell search engines not to crawl and index a file, page, or directory.
Meta Refresh Test
98% of top 100 sites passed
This webpage is not using a meta refresh tag.
This test will check if your webpage is using a refresh meta tag. This tag causes a web page to refresh automatically after a specified amount of time. Users generally don't expect automatic refreshes, so they can be disorienting. Refreshing also moves focus to the top of the page, which may frustrate or confuse users, particularly those who rely on screen readers or other assistive technologies.
SPF Records Test
94% of top 100 sites passed
This DNS server is using an SPF record.
v=spf1 ip4:149.210.166.222 ip4:149.210.166.241 a:thebalux.dyndns.biz a:mail.thebalux.nl include:spf.sendinblue.com include:spf-eu.emailsignatures365.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com ~all

Creating an SPF record increases email delivery rates by reducing the likelihood of your email being marked as spam.
Ads.txt Validation Test
67% of top 100 sites passed
The request of ads.txt file has an unexpected Content-Type header: text/html. In order for this resource to be easily accessed by the DSPs and advertisers, its Content-Type header should be text/plain or text/plain; charset=utf-8.

Ads.txt Validation Test

How to pass this test?

In order to pass this test, the ads.txt file should be publicly available in the website's root domain and its content should be properly formatted.

The advertising systems will read the content of the ads.txt file only if the request will return a 200 OK HTTP status code. The content of this file should be encoded as a formatted plain text and the HTTP Content-Type header should be text/plain (all other Content-Types are treated as an error and the content will be ignored).

As outlined in the IAB Tech Lab specifications for ads.txt file, the format logically consists of three types of records: comments, data records and variables:

  1. Comments
    Lines starting with # symbol are considered comments and are ignored.
  2. Data records
    For each Exchange or Supply-Side Platform (SSP) that is authorized to sell your inventory you must add a data record. Each of these lines should contain 3 or 4 comma separated fields:
    <FIELD #1>, <FIELD #2>, <FIELD #3>, <FIELD #4>
    • #1 - The canonical domain name of the system where bidders connect (e.g. google.com, appnexus.com, etc)
    • #2 - The publisher account ID
    • #3 - The type of account or relationship (e.g. DIRECT or RESELLER)
    • #4 - (Optional) An ID that uniquely identifies the advertising system within a certification authority
  3. Variables

    Any line containing a pattern of <VARIABLE>=<VALUE> should be interpreted as a variable declaration. The <VARIABLE> is a string identifier without internal whitespace. The only supported separator is the equals sign ‘=’. The <VALUE> is an open string that may contain arbitrary data.

    For human readability it is recommended that variables be declared at the end of the file, but this is not a strict requirement.

    Only the following variables are supported: CONTACT, SUBDOMAIN and INVENTORYPARTNERDOMAIN.

This test will check if your website's ads.txt file has a valid format.
