WooRank | SEO Checker - Website Review Website URL to review Review EN - SEO GUIDE - Page Load Time Web page loading speed is a crucial part of a site’s usability. Google considers page speed to be one of the 200 ranking factors that influence a website’s position in organic search results, and it definitely enriches user-experience. With numerous other websites in your niche, the competition to earn site traffic and keep people impressed with rich usability is becoming more crucial every day.

XML Sitemaps - Learn the best practices to create your XML sitemaps & how to submit them to the search engines.

What is an XML Sitemap? An XML (Extensible Markup Language) Sitemap is a text file used to detail all URLs on a website. It can include extra information (metadata) on each URL, with details of when they were last updated, how important they are and whether there are any other versions of the URL created in other languages. All of this is done to help the search engines crawl your website more efficiently, allowing any changes to be fed to them directly, including when a new page is added or an old one removed. There is no guarantee that an XML Sitemap will get your pages crawled and indexed by search engines, but having one certainly increases your chances, particularly if your navigation or general internal linking strategy doesn’t link to all of your pages. Example XML Sitemap Glossary of Tags Used in a Sitemaplast - The Sitemap opens and closes with this tag. It is the current protocol standard. - This is the parent tag for each URL entry. - This tag contains the absolute URL, o...

How optimizing HTML Header Tags can help improve user experience & boost your rankings in the search engines.

HTML Header tags, as their name suggests, are used to differentiate the headings and sub-headings of a page from the rest of the content. These tags are also known to webmasters as heading tags or simply header tags. HTML Header tags The most important heading tag is the h1 tag and least important is the h6 tag. In HTML coding, the heading tags from h1 to h6 form a top-down hierarchy. This means that if you skip any of the tag numbers the heading structure will be broken, which is not ideal for on-page SEO. For example, if your site is introduced with an h1 tag followed by an h3 tag, the hierarchy will be broken, meaning the heading structure is not as SEO-friendly. This doesn't apply, however, to the bottom-up structure, which could jump from an h4 to an h2 without issue. Ideally, every page should have an h1 tag, but never more than one. Advantages of Using Heading Tags The heading tag is used to represent different sections of web page content. It has an impact on both the SEO a...
