How Do I Do an SEO Audit for Free?
1 September 2026 2 min read
A free SEO audit takes ten minutes and six checks: indexability, titles and metas, heading structure, internal links, schema and speed. Run them in that order, because each depends on the one before it.
The ten minute order of operations
- Confirm the page is indexable: no noindex tag, no robots block.
- Check title and meta length and uniqueness.
- Check there is one H1 and a clean heading hierarchy.
- Check internal links reach the page.
- Check schema and HTTPS.
- Check speed basics.
Run it free
The On-Page SEO Checker performs checks 1 through 5 in one run with exact values. The Core Web Vitals Checker handles 6. When you want the fixes prioritised into a 30/60/90-day plan, run the Full SEO Plan.
