Meta Title Test100% of top 100 sites passed
  • This webpage is using a title tag with a length of 12 characters. While there's no target number of characters, titles should be descriptive and concise. Using a title tag with less than 20 characters is a missed opportunity since it can be difficult to fit all your targeted keywords in such a short text.
    We recommend using a title with a length between 20 - 60 characters in order to fit Google Search results that have a 600-pixel limit.
Text: The Holy See
Length: 12 characters
Meta Description Test97% of top 100 sites passed

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.

Custom 404 Error Page Test75% 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.
Noindex Tag Test99% of top 100 sites passed
  • This webpage does not use the noindex meta tag. This means that it can be indexed by search engines.
Canonical Tag Test95% of top 100 sites passed
  • This webpage is using the canonical link tag. This tag specifies that the URL: http://www.vatican.va/content/vatican/en.html 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="http://www.vatican.va/content/vatican/en.html" rel="canonical"/>
Nofollow Tag Test
  • This webpage does not use the nofollow meta tag. This means that search engines will crawl all links from this webpage.
Disallow Directive Test
  • The robots.txt file does not use the disallow directive. This means that the whole website can be crawled by search engines.

  • This webpage is not using a meta refresh tag.

Ads.txt Validation Test80% of top 100 sites passed
