Technical Health

86.29

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

  • Secure connectionWeak

    Encryption is not yet the default here, and it is the first thing browsers and search engines check.

Content Quality

78.49

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

Strengths

  • Depth and readabilityStrong

    Pages say enough to be useful, in plain language, and stay on the topic their titles promise.

  • Images and linksStrong

    Images are described in text, and pages link to each other with links that say where they go.

  • HeadingsStrong

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

Opportunities

  • Titles and descriptionsPartial

    Titles are mostly in place; descriptions and link previews are patchier, and each page wants ones of its own.

Answer Readiness

55.78

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

Opportunities

  • Question-and-answer shapePartial

    Some headings are questions with an answer beneath them; more of them, each followed by a short direct answer, is what an answer engine lifts.

  • Structured dataPartial

    Structured data is partly there: not on every page, not always complete, and not always the types that earn rich results.

  • 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

68.64

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 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.

Whether the wider web vouches for the site.

Full marks. Nothing here to work on.

Scores reflect what IndexBot could read from google.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.

User-agent: IndexBot
Disallow: /
