The path to SEO software like Seobility often leads via the free check. This was also the case for us. I tested our online store after a technical change and I liked the checklist-like presentation of the results.
You can also do this by clicking on SEO check below and having a single page of your project crawled there.
If you have a premium account, you will create and crawl your first project in full from your dashboard. It only takes a few clicks. Simply click on + Create project. The dialog with various settings for your project will then open. Entering the URL is sufficient for the first time. And off you go.
More specific settings for the crawler settings become interesting once you have familiarized yourself with them and also want to have larger projects with thousands of subpages crawled. Crawling thousands of subpages can take over an hour. Perhaps you are only optimizing a section of your website. Then you can also limit the crawling to subdirectories only. This makes particular sense if you have several language versions of your website and only want to have the English part crawled, for example.
And then you can simply exclude certain content areas from crawling. To do this, verify your website in advance, e.g. via a DNS entry. If you have a forum with a connected store and only want to optimize the store pages, then simply exclude the many forum threads so that you receive the crawling results you need quickly and in a focused manner.
It makes sense to switch to JavaScript crawling if your site is very JS-heavy. In this case, Seobility also gives you a recommendation in the dashboard.
The HTTP Auth function is also interesting for sites that have not yet been published, e.g. for test environments before relaunches.
Let's take a look at the crawling results for the MeckCura care service:
As the agency that set up this site, there is little reason to cheer at first. I remember that we created a few new subpages with a special focus on SEO. For example, this one on assisted living in Wismar:
When reviewing this partial report on the SEO check for this subpage, one could be quite satisfied with 85%, but two areas for action actually emerge: Firstly, the server is too weak and the php version is outdated. With a php update and more power on the server, there is also better performance.
On the other hand, the partial report shows me that the redirect from HTTP to HTTPS is not working properly. And indeed, I can reproduce the error. There are two tasks for a developer to solve these things quickly.
