Deep Audit

Review one webpage for technical and content issues, then investigate the findings that matter most.

Open Deep Audit

The tool opens in your Kwordia account. Dotted links explain terms in the glossary.

Before you begin

Deep Audit checks a single page address. It is useful when you want to understand possible problems with a particular article, service page, or product page. It does not crawl and audit every page on the website.

Open Technical SEO and choose Deep Audit. Copy the full URL of the page you want to check, including its page path.

Using this page, step by step

  1. Paste the full page address and select Desktop or Mobile. Choose the device that best matches the problem or audience you are investigating.
  2. Review the estimate and start the audit. Wait for the results before deciding whether another request is necessary.
  3. Begin with the overview, then read the recommendations and the content, technical, and keyword sections. Check what evidence is supplied for each finding.
  4. Open the original page to investigate a specific issue. Make changes in your website’s own editor, then consider a fresh audit when you need to check the updated page.

Target URL includes the page path, /boot-care, because this audit checks one page. Analysis Focus is set to Mobile Performance. Replace this illustrative address with your own page and review the current estimate before selecting Run Analysis.Select the screenshot to view it full size.

A worked example

If customers struggle with your boot-size guide on phones, audit that guide’s URL using Mobile. Read the findings alongside the page itself. An issue affecting the main instructions deserves attention before a minor improvement that would make little difference to readers.

Understanding what you see

Recommendations are prompts for investigation. Their importance depends on the page’s purpose, so do not make changes only to improve a score.

Missing information is not the same as a passed check. If you need to establish whether Google has indexed the page, use Google Search Console’s URL inspection tool.

Common questions and problems

Check that the URL opens publicly and points to the intended page. A login screen or redirect can change what is available to inspect.

For a problem affecting several pages, inspect representative URLs separately. This page is not a whole-site crawl.
