Every category of the analysis gives you hints on how to improve that part of your website. If you need those hints, just click on the category and it will expand and provide extra info. I will not cover all the categories that this SEO tool covers because there are plenty of them, and it would take a lot of time to go through everything. However, I will cover the most important ones and explain how they work.

SEO Section

This part of the analysis covers everything SEO-related and how you can improve it on your website. It explains why a title tag is important for SEO, what it should contain and how long it should be. It also explains why every page should have a unique title containing your most important keywords.

Title tag Blogwolf

Besides the title tag, this section also gives you information about your website’s meta description and meta keywords. Meta descriptions are also a crucial part of SEO, and they should be between 100 and 300 characters long. They control how your web pages will be displayed in search results.

Specifically for image tags, WebsiteSeoStats reports the count of how many “alt” attributes you have included on the web page. It will also warn you if you have forgotten to add an “alt” attribute somewhere on the web page. Using the right keywords to improve your SEO strategy is crucial. This tool will give you insight into the frequency of keywords used on your website, or in other words, what words and how many times they are used on the web page.

Keywords Blogwolf

For a better and more efficient way for web crawlers to crawl through your website, you should definitely generate an XML Sitemap that will make search engine robots crawl your website more intelligently. Thus, this tool notifies you whether you have generated the sitemap for your website or not.

If you need information about your domain name and WHOIS data, you can simply check it using this tool. There’s also a section containing all of the relevant information pertaining to your domain, such as its age, the creation date, expiry date, etc.

This tool will also show you the number of pages that robots managed to index and find. If you get a pretty low number of pages, it means either you have problems with website architecture and internal linking or something is preventing bots from efficiently crawling and indexing your website. Backlinks are, besides keywords, a key part of SEO, this section of the analysis also shows you the number of backlinks you have on your website, which is a good way to give you an idea of whether you should add more backlinks or improve the quality of the existing ones.

Usability Section

In this category, you can get reports about the speed of your website on desktops with a score from 0 to 100. Speed is very important, and if your website is slow, nobody will use it. But next to just informing you about desktop speed, this tool also analyses mobile speed to ensure your website is fully responsive.
