How SEOAcademys Works
SEOAcademys runs every check against your live URL in real time. There is no cached index and no stored history — you submit a URL, our server fetches it the way a crawler would, and the analysis is returned in seconds.

The four-step pipeline
1. Fetch
A server-side request retrieves the URL, following up to eight redirects and recording every status code along the chain.
2. Parse
The returned HTML is parsed into structured signals: head tags, headings, links, images, schema blocks and response headers.
3. Score
Each signal is evaluated against a documented threshold — for example a title between 30 and 65 characters, or a canonical tag present and self-referencing.
4. Report
Results are grouped by severity so you can fix blockers before cosmetic issues, with the exact value found shown next to each check.
What the 47-signal model covers
- Access: HTTP status, HTTPS, robots.txt directives and AI crawler rules
- Indexing: canonical tags, meta robots, sitemap presence and redirect chains
- On-page: title, meta description, heading hierarchy, image alt coverage
- Structured data: JSON-LD presence, type validity and required properties
- Experience: viewport, responsive hints, page weight and response time
- GEO: direct answers, factual density, entity clarity and llms.txt
Accuracy and limits
Checks read the server-rendered response. Sites that render content entirely client-side may report fewer signals — which is also how many crawlers first see them. Third-party estimates such as keyword volume are directional, not exact.
Frequently asked questions
How does SEOAcademys fetch my page?
Every check performs a server-side HTTP request to the URL you submit, following redirects up to eight hops, and analyses the returned HTML exactly as a crawler would. Nothing is fetched from a cache.
Do you store the URLs I submit?
No. URLs are processed in memory to produce the result and discarded. We do not log submitted URLs, store results or share anything with third parties.
Why do results differ from another SEO tool?
Tools weight signals differently and some render JavaScript while others read raw HTML. Compare individual signals rather than composite scores across products.
Does SEOAcademys execute JavaScript?
Checks analyse the server-rendered HTML response. For client-rendered sites, some content may only exist after hydration, which is also how many crawlers first see the page.
Are the tools rate limited?
There is no account-based cap. Reasonable per-minute limits protect the service and the sites being fetched.
