Technical Health

94.94

Whether search engines can fetch, trust, and quickly load the site.

Strengths

  • CrawlabilityStrong

    Crawlers are welcome here: a sitemap points the way, links work, and pages are allowed into the index.

  • URL and canonical hygieneStrong

    URLs are clean and consistent, each page has one address, and missing pages say so.

  • Secure connectionStrong

    Every visit is encrypted, and the headers that keep it that way are in place.

Opportunities

  • SpeedPartial

    Pages load reasonably but not quickly, so visitors wait longer than they need to.

Content Quality

79.80

Whether pages say clearly what they are about, in a form machines can read.

Strengths

  • Titles and descriptionsStrong

    Every page has a clear title and a description of its own, and shares well when linked.

  • HeadingsStrong

    Each page has one main heading, with subheadings in a sensible order beneath it.

  • FreshnessStrong

    Something here was published or updated recently, and the site says when.

Opportunities

  • Depth and readabilityPartial

    Pages have substance, but many stop short, drift from their titles, or read harder than they need to.

  • Images and linksPartial

    Pages link to one another, though some images lack a description and some link text says "read more" rather than where it leads.

Answer Readiness

47.74

Whether content is shaped and marked up so an engine can lift a direct answer.

Strengths

  • Question-and-answer shapeStrong

    Pages pose the questions people ask and answer them in a paragraph right under the heading.

  • Navigation aidsStrong

    Interior pages show where they sit in the site, and say so in a way engines can read.

Opportunities

  • Structured dataWeak

    Little structured data is present, so engines have to infer what each page is rather than being told.

  • Scannable formattingPartial

    Pages are partly scannable; opening with a short summary, and putting facts in lists and tables, makes them easier to lift from.

AI Visibility

55.09

Whether AI systems can reach, read, and confidently identify the site.

Strengths

  • AI accessStrong

    AI crawlers are allowed in, and pages may be quoted in AI answers.

Opportunities

  • IdentityWeak

    Little here says who is behind the site, in the markup or on the pages themselves.

  • Readable without JavaScriptWeak

    Much of the content only appears once scripts run, so a crawler that reads the raw page finds little.

  • Authorship and sourcingMissing

    No article names an author or a date, and nothing links out to a source; a byline and a date on every article is the place to start.

Authority

87.12

Whether the wider web vouches for the site.

Strengths

  • BacklinksStrong

    Plenty of other sites link here, including ones that matter.

  • TrafficStrong

    The site has a large audience.

  • Domain historyStrong

    The domain has a long history, and history counts.

Opportunities

Nothing here to work on. The points left are the ones only the web's largest sites earn.

Scores reflect what IndexBot could read from airbnb.com's available pages on .

IndexBot

IndexBot is the crawler behind SEO Leaderboard. It visits a website only when someone submits that domain, reads it the way a search engine would, and leaves.

What it does

  • Fetches the homepage, robots.txt, the sitemap, and up to 24 more pages, at most four at a time.
  • Reads raw HTML only. It runs no JavaScript and loads no images, fonts, or scripts.
  • Visits a domain at most once every 24 hours, however many people submit it.
  • Stores what it measured, never full copies of pages.

How it identifies itself

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; IndexBot/1.0; +https://seoleaderboard.com/bot)

How to let it in

Bot protection often turns IndexBot away before it reads anything, and the domain then cannot be scored. If you run the site, allow the User-Agent IndexBot. In Cloudflare that is a WAF skip rule; most other tools have the same idea under a different name.

(http.user_agent contains "IndexBot")

IndexBot has no fixed IP range to allow instead, so the User-Agent is the only thing to match on. It never tries to disguise itself as a browser, and the limits above are the whole of what it asks for.

How to keep it out

IndexBot obeys robots.txt. Add this and it will not read your site, and your domain cannot be scored.

Disallow: /
