Technical Audit Of A Page In 2 Clicks: Rate Your SEO Performance
Vera Zhukova
Customer Success Manager at Serpstat
Imagine that you've found a long list of SEO errors on the site. You are an experienced SEO, and you can say for sure which step is the next one: to fix these mistakes. What now? For example, how can you rate your weekly or even daily benefits? Are the changes really for the better? Before it's too late, check if you're really on the right track.
A new feature from Serpstat can help you. Meet Page Audit, a unique option, which has no analogs! It makes it possible to check a specific page for technical errors to rate the results of your actions even faster. Let's see why this option is so important.
Our support team often gets such questions:
- How can I check a separate page for errors?
- How can I see if the errors on the page have been fixed?
- How can I save limits on the audit?
What advantages does the page audit offer?
1
This is a unique option from Serpstat that lets you make technical monitoring and track errors of each page. The site audit checks multiple ranking factors and provides recommendations for fixing them.
2
Instant in-depth analysis of any page. Checking a page is much faster than a full site scanning. Now you can check the most important pages:
- those that attract traffic
- landing pages
- recently updated pages.
3
Check the loading time of every page, not just the main page. Why is this important? Loading time is one of the most important ranking factors. Search engines take this aspect into account and can decrease the relevance of a website if it doesn't meet the recommendations. Especially when it comes to mobile search.
4
Advanced opportunities for competitive analysis. Try it if you don't understand why the competitor's page ranks better than yours. You can evaluate your disadvantages and make appropriate changes.
5
Limits saving. With this option, you can save your time and money: limits are used rationally.
6
Evaluation of the services. The Page Audit shows how well the page is optimized and which errors still exist. This is especially important if you:
- have changed the site from a technical point of view: the audit analyzes whether it did not lead to any bad consequences
- corrected existing errors: repeat the audit to assess the performance of the actions taken.

Serpstat Domain Optimization Score (SDO) is a measure that shows how well a domain is optimized based on the correlation of the total number of errors and how critical they are to the number of possible errors.
Errors on the page are situated according to priority:
Information — recommendations where you should draw attention.
Viruses — results of testing for malicious software.
After you've done several checks, you'll get a graph of the changes on the page:
