Understanding Your Audit Report

When SEOJuice crawls your website, it generates an audit report that scores your site across multiple dimensions and highlights issues to fix. Here’s how to make sense of it.

Score Breakdown

Your overall SEO score is composed of four sub-scores:

ScoreWhat It Measures
Technical ScoreServer performance, security (SSL), page speed, Core Web Vitals, resource optimization
Content ScoreMeta tags, readability, keyword consistency, content depth, duplicate content
Structure ScoreInternal link structure, heading hierarchy, URL structure, sitemap, navigation
Accessibility ScoreWCAG 2.1 compliance — contrast ratios, alt text, ARIA labels, form labels, heading levels

Each score contributes to your overall website grade: A (excellent), B (good), C (average), or D (needs work).

Issue Severity Levels

Issues are categorized by impact:

  • Critical — Directly harms SEO or user experience. Fix these first. Examples: missing title tags, broken pages, SSL errors.
  • High — Significant impact on rankings or usability. Examples: missing meta descriptions, duplicate titles, slow page load.
  • Medium — Noticeable but not urgent. Examples: missing alt text, suboptimal heading structure, thin content.
  • Low — Minor improvements. Examples: meta description length could be better, missing Open Graph tags.

Finding Which Pages Have Issues

Each issue in the report includes a list of affected pages. To find the specific page:

  1. Click on any issue in the audit report
  2. The Affected Pages section expands, showing every page with that issue
  3. Click a page URL to see its full details, including all issues for that specific page

You can also browse all pages from the Pages tab in your website dashboard, where you can search, filter, and sort by various criteria.

Common Confusing Issues

”Missing meta tags on tag/archive pages”

Your CMS may generate tag pages, archive pages, or category pages automatically. These often lack proper meta descriptions because they’re auto-generated. This is normal — most CMS platforms don’t add meta descriptions to taxonomy pages by default. SEOJuice can auto-generate meta descriptions for these pages if you enable the Automate mode for meta tags.

”Keyword cannibalization”

This means multiple pages on your site target the same keyword, potentially competing with each other in search results. Review the flagged pages and decide which one should be the primary page for that keyword. You can use Key Pages to signal which pages are most important.

”robots.txt issues”

If SEOJuice flags a robots.txt issue, it means your robots.txt file may be blocking important pages from search engines. Note that SEOJuice cannot edit your robots.txt file — this must be done in your hosting or CMS platform. Some platforms like Squarespace don’t allow direct robots.txt editing.

”Missing structured data”

Structured data (JSON-LD schema) helps search engines understand your content. SEOJuice can generate and inject structured data automatically if you enable this in your optimization settings.

Re-Running an Audit

To get a fresh audit:

  1. Go to your website dashboard
  2. Click Generate Report or Re-run Audit
  3. The audit typically completes within a few hours depending on your site size

SEOJuice also runs automatic crawls every 24–72 hours, so your audit data refreshes regularly without manual action.

Exporting Your Report

You can download your audit report as a PDF from the dashboard. This is useful for sharing with team members, clients (for agency accounts), or for record-keeping.
