Before wondering why your page does not show up in Google, check the basics: a title and a description, a page that is not blocked from indexing, a secure connection, images with alt text, decent speed. Jood's complete website SEO audit goes through those points and more on a single page, and gives you a tidy color-coded report with a tip for each point.
How to use it
Type the page's address in the URL box, such as your home page or an important article.
Click "Start Now" and wait a few seconds while the tool fetches the page and a few related files.
The "SEO Health Score" out of 100 appears, with the number of passed checks, warnings and failures, then the checks grouped into sections you open one at a time.
What the tool checks
Tags and content: the title and description with their length, a single H1, how subheadings are spread, the word count and reading time.
Technical SEO: the robots.txt file, the sitemap, the canonical tag, a noindex instruction in the page or in the headers, the language attribute, the viewport tag, the charset, the favicon, and whether missing pages really return a 404 code.
Speed and server: time to first response, the size of the page's code, gzip or Brotli compression, the server software.
Images, links and sharing: alt text and lazy loading on images, internal and external links, Open Graph tags and X cards.
Reading the report without getting lost
Start with the red that matters: noindex, no HTTPS, no viewport, no title. Those really keep you out of the results; the other warnings are improvements.
The score sums up the list, it is not a Google rating: each passed check counts one point, each warning half a point. A site scoring 70 can beat a site scoring 90 with better content.
Some indicators are rough: word count and text-to-code ratio are not criteria Google announces, just signs of a thin page.
The sitemap: the tool looks for it at /sitemap.xml and, if it is not there, reads the Sitemap lines in robots.txt and tests the addresses listed. If yours lives elsewhere, such as wp-sitemap.xml on WordPress, and is listed in robots.txt, the check passes and the tool shows its address.
One page at a time: check the pages that matter one by one. The tool does not run JavaScript and measures time from Jood's server, so for full speed figures, use Google's PageSpeed Insights.
