Technical Health

94.19

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.

  • SpeedStrong

    Pages load quickly, and the server answers fast.

  • URL and canonical hygieneStrong

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

Opportunities

Nothing stands out to work on here. The most room left is in Crawlability.

Content Quality

63.30

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

Strengths

  • 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.

  • LanguageStrong

    The page language is declared and matches what is on the page.

Opportunities

  • Titles and descriptionsWeak

    Titles and descriptions are thin, repeated across pages, or missing, so search results have little to show for each page.

  • 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

20.49

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

Opportunities

  • Structured dataMissing

    Pages carry no structured data, so nothing tells an engine what each one is; marking up the page type, and the site's name, is the first step here.

  • Question-and-answer shapeMissing

    No page poses a question and answers it directly beneath, which is the shape answer engines look for; adding those pages is where this starts.

  • 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

85.20

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.

  • IdentityStrong

    It is clear who is behind this site, on its pages, in its markup, and in the public record.

Opportunities

  • Readable without JavaScriptPartial

    Most content is readable without running scripts, but some pages arrive thin, or the content is not clearly marked out from the furniture around it.

  • Authorship and sourcingWeak

    Articles rarely say who wrote them or when, and pages rarely link out to sources, which gives an AI little reason to trust them.

  • FeedsPartial

    Either a feed or sitemap dates are in place, not both; machines that watch for new content want both.

Authority

84.15

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.

  • Social presenceStrong

    The site links to its profiles on the major platforms.

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 asu.edu'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.

User-agent: IndexBot
Disallow: /
