Technical SEO Audit

What does Audityxe's technical SEO audit check?

Audityxe's technical SEO audit checks the title tag, meta description, canonical tag, H1, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, structured data (JSON-LD), Open Graph and Twitter cards, broken links, image optimization, and — in deep crawls — internal linking and orphan pages.

Checks run against the real HTML and HTTP response of the page. Because the default crawl reads server-delivered HTML, content rendered only by client-side JavaScript is flagged as a risk rather than fully evaluated.

Frequently asked questions

Is Audityxe a free SEO audit tool?

Yes. A free Audityxe account includes a limited number of audits per day with the full six-category score, and the CLI is free with no account and no rate limit.

Does Audityxe check for AI search optimization too?

Yes. A dedicated AI Search & Agent Optimization module checks AI-crawler access, llms.txt, FAQ and HowTo schema, and answer-friendly page structure. See the AI search readiness page.

Can Audityxe crawl JavaScript-rendered single-page apps?

Not fully. The current engine reads server-delivered HTML and flags probable client-rendered content as a risk. A headless-browser fallback is on the roadmap.
