Broken links can be a serious problem on your site in terms of SEO. As your site grows and you update resources, one or two broken links aren't that big of a deal. If the 404 page is set up correctly, they are not a problem at all. But what if your site has hundreds of broken links? This makes broken links a potential danger. There are numerous reasons for this. The first consists in the fact that a user's display of a 404 page instead of the useful information he is looking for leads to a slowdown in traffic. Furthermore, users perceive the site as a low-quality site. Secondly, broken links are a waste of your crawl budget . Every time search engine bots visit your site, they crawl a number of pages but not the entire site. If your site has a lot of broken links, you run the risk of diverting bots' attention from your pages, and this is important because your pages won't be crawled or indexed . Our study highlighted the presence of broken internal links that return HTTP status codes containing errors in 35% of the sites being crawled (in 70% of them, a 4xx - page not found or similar code is returned).
Broken external links were found in 25% of the sites analyzed. In the long term, this problem risks reducing the number of pages displayed in search engine results and thus compromising the authority of the page, so this is an issue that needs to be resolved. You can always spot broken links through our Site Audit tool or a link checker plugin and then fix them all. You can also spot broken inbound links and contact webmasters by suggesting a new resource within your site Denmark Telegram Number Data that they can link to. 6. Low text-to-HTML ratio In 28% of the sites analyzed we found a worryingly low text-to-HTML ratio. This means that these sites contain proportionately more back-end HTML code than text that users can read. We suggest a lower acceptable limit, however above 20%. A low text-to-HTML ratio is often a warning sign that there are other SEO positioning problems that need to be resolved. For example, a low text-to-HTML ratio can be indicative of the following issues: ● poorly coded website (with invalid code and excessive Javascript, Flash and inline styles).
Hidden text, a factor often used by spammers and therefore a real warning indicator for search engines ● slow site – the more code and script the pages have, the slower they will load, and page load time is an important factor in terms of SEO Resolve the problem by checking every page where this warning appears and: ● eliminating unnecessary code to reduce page size and increase speed ● moving scripts and inline styles to separate files ● adding relevant text on the page where necessary. 7. H1 tag issues Historically, header tags have been an extremely important factor in SEO efforts, as they indicate the most important content on the page. There should only be one H1 tag on each page, often referring to the title of the content. Although the use of HTML5 has changed the way header tags are used (it is now possible to have more than one H1 on a page), they still allow you to create a useful hierarchy for both search engines and users .
