The Audit Tab

A tour of the on-page SEO audit — duplicate content, hreflang, structured data, security checks, and what changed since your last crawl.

What Is the Audit Tab?

The Health tab tells you whether a URL loaded — 200, 404, or a redirect. The Audit tab goes further: it looks at what's actually on each page. Title tags, meta descriptions, canonical links, hreflang, structured data, duplicate content, and basic security hygiene are all checked automatically during a crawl, no configuration required.

Open a sitemap's detail page and click Audit next to Table and Structure. The tab is split into five sub-sections, each focused on one kind of finding.

Only available on completed crawls

Audit data is captured during the crawl itself. If you re-crawl a site, the Audit tab reflects the most recent completed crawl — trigger a refresh from the dashboard to pick up changes you've made since.

Overview

The landing view when you open Audit. Three things at a glance:

Changes since last crawl — new pages, removed pages, and pages whose status code changed, compared against your previous crawl.
Summary cards — quick counts for duplicate titles, duplicate content, and URL structure issues.
Segments — your pages grouped by their first URL path segment (e.g. everything under /blog), with a healthy/broken/redirect breakdown per segment. Useful for spotting that one section of a large site dragging down the average.

Pages

Every crawled page, one row each, with an issue-count badge. Click a row to open the full detail — title, meta description, canonical URL, robots directive, structured data types found, image alt-text coverage, and word count.

A page counts an issue for each of: missing title, missing meta description, a noindex directive, and images missing alt text. "No issues" doesn't mean the page is perfect — it means none of those four checks flagged anything.

Duplicates

Three kinds of duplication, each in its own panel:

Duplicate titles — two or more pages sharing the exact same <title>.
Duplicate content — pages with byte-identical body content (same hash).
Near-duplicate content — pages that aren't identical but are close enough to likely be the same content with minor edits (a boilerplate template, a copy-pasted page with one paragraph changed). This check is skipped on sites over 1,500 crawled pages to keep the comparison from slowing down your browser.

Technical

URL structure issues — uppercase characters, underscores, non-ASCII characters, overly long URLs, or a large number of query parameters. None of these break anything on their own, but they're commonly flagged in technical SEO reviews.
hreflang — one-way links — if page A links to page B via hreflang, page B should link back to page A. This panel flags pages where that reciprocal link is missing, for any target page that was also part of the same crawl.

Security

Two checks: whether an HTTPS page references any resource over plain HTTP (mixed content), and whether a small checklist of security headers — Strict-Transport-Security, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options — is present on the response.

Not a full security scan

This is a lightweight hygiene check, not a penetration test or vulnerability scanner. It only checks for the presence of these three headers and one class of mixed-content issue.

Free vs Pro

The Audit tab follows the same preview pattern as the Health tab: Free plans see a preview across your first few pages, Pro plans see the full audit across every crawled page. Redirect chain detection is the one exception — it's available on every plan, including guest scans.
