#Semrush site audit archive#

One thing this WordPress theme does well is, if no excerpt is present it only shows a summary of the post instead of displaying the entire post of the archive page. This is particularly important for anyone blogging. To prevent this from happening, write unique excerpts. You can see the text “The inland seas region of the United States” appears on both pages. Adding the noindex tag to the archive pages will prevent duplicate content issues in Google and eliminate duplicate meta descriptions at the same time.įor example, this page will have overlapping content with this innerpage. Each of the different subpages has the same meta description, “Find the latest news about Marquis Yachts.” This may or may not be an issue that requires action. A site: search in Google reveals that even more pages have similar meta description issues. This one page causes multiple errors.Ģ pages do not have unique meta descriptions. The broken 404 is the same page with the broken internal link from the homepage. The page may have moved and in that instance a 301 redirect should be created. The correct action is to remove this page from the sitemap or to create the page. Looking at the XML sitemap, this page has a 404 error and should not be listed in the XML sitemap. One nice feature is it displays the full list of errors even if your website has 0 occurrences for a specific error. This is typically a 404 error page not found and finally wrong pages found in the sitemap.

The tool indicates pages with duplicate content, pages without a unique title tag, pages that have no title tag, pages that do not have a unique meta description, broken internal links and 400 error code status.

Click on the errors tab to show all of the errors. SEMrush gives your website a score, but I recommend looking at the different errors, warnings and notices individually to see whether or not they are harming your SEO.Ĭlick on the issues tab and this list displays all of the errors, warnings and notices. Errors, warnings and notices with errors being the most critical to your website. SEMrush has 3 different categories of issues. In our example, I ran the site audit tool on and it reported back over 800 issues and a score of 57%.
