# On-Page Audit – Deep-Dive Analysis for a Single URL

The [**On-Page Audit** tool](https://hacktheseo.com/on-page-seo-audit-tool/) scans a single web page in seconds and returns a 360° report covering SEO, performance, security and best-practice checks. Perfect for landing pages, blog posts, or key product pages where every detail matters.

## 🚀 Quick-Start: Launch Your First On-Page Audit

- Open _Audit › On-page_ in the left-hand menu.

- Paste the full URL you want to inspect (e.g. https://yoursite.com/ai-audit-generator/).

- Click **Run Audit**. The crawl runs in the background and usually finishes in under 30 seconds.

The result page opens automatically once the scan is complete.

## 📊 Reading the Overview Score

A coloured gauge shows your overall page score (0-100). Underneath you’ll see a bar with:

- **High issues** (red) – critical items to fix first

- **Medium issues** (orange) – important, but not blocking

- **Low issues** (grey) – minor enhancements

- **Tests passed** (green) – everything OK 🎉

 

## 🗂️ Categories and Checks

Category
Key tests

**SEO**
Meta title & description, heading hierarchy, keyword presence, alt attributes, canonical URL, robots, in-page links, language tag…

**Performance**
Load time, page weight, number of HTTP requests, image format (WebP / AVIF), text compression, DOM size, JavaScript defer…

**Security**
HTTPS, mixed content, server signature, unsafe cross-origin links, plaintext emails…

**Miscellaneous**
Structured data (Schema .org, Open Graph, Twitter), viewport tag, charset, sitemap link, social links…

Each check is tagged with a coloured icon:

- 🟢 Pass_ – no action needed

- 🟡 _Improve_ – good, but can be optimised

- 🔴 _Fail_ – requires fixing

## 🤖 Fix Issues with Built-In AI = Audit Site

- Go on https://app.hacktheseo.com/user/auditsite (doc: https://hacktheseo.com/documentation/website-audit/)

- Press **AI Generate** to get an instant, best-practice fix (e.g. rewrite a meta title within 60 chars).

- Edit inline if needed and hit **Save**.

Repeat for as many issues as you like, or bulk-select several for mass generation.

 

## 💡 Pro Tips

- Run an On-Page Audit after any major content update to check you haven’t introduced new issues.

- Use the JavaScript defer_ and _Image format_ alerts to shave seconds off load time—great for Core Web Vitals.

- Combine green passes across all categories to reach an overall score > 90—Google loves healthy pages!

 

## ❓ FAQ

- **What page types can I audit?** Any public URL: blog post, product page, category, or home page.

- **Does this replace PageSpeed Insights?** Performance tests overlap, but Hack the SEO gives actionable AI fixes and covers SEO & security too.

- **Will it crawl password-protected pages?** No—pages must be publicly accessible.

 

## 📍 Next Steps

Once your key pages score green, schedule a full [Website Audit](/documentation/website-audit) to ensure site-wide consistency, then use [AI Content Writing](/documentation/ai-content-writing) to fill content gaps uncovered by your audit.
