Understand a finding before changing your site
Each guide explains what a finding means, when it matters and how to investigate it. Follow a practical checklist, then use the matching free checker to review the page.
An automated warning is a starting point for review. It does not by itself prove a ranking penalty, an accessibility failure or a problem on every page.
On-page SEO issue
A missing meta description leaves search engines without the page summary you intended to provide. It is a useful signal to review, but it is not a ranking penalty by itself.
Check a meta descriptionContent structure issue
Multiple H1 elements usually indicate that a template or page builder is assigning the primary heading role to more than one block. Review the page structure before changing valid content.

A canonical is broken when it points to an unavailable, unrelated or unintended URL, or conflicts with the page signals you want search engines to use.
Check a canonical tagCrawl control issue
A robots.txt rule can tell crawlers not to request a path. If it covers a page, asset or directory that should be crawled, the rule can hide useful content from a normal crawl.
Check robots.txtCrawl discovery issue
