15. WEBSITE AUDIT
YOUR WEBSITE
15
Source: SEO Site Checkup. Conducted in February 2021 | Worldwide data
The below checklist can help you achieve better performance in search results.
High priority
fi
xes:
‣ Your website loading time is around 5.6 seconds and is over the average loading speed which is 5 seconds.
‣ Some of your website's JavaScript
fi
les are not mini
fi
ed!
‣ Some of your webpage's CSS resources are not mini
fi
ed.
‣ Your website is not using a custom 404 error page. Default 404 error pages result in a poor experience - it can mislead users into thinking an entire
site is down or broken, greatly increases the chance they leave your site entirely, and looks unprofessional. By creating a custom 404 error page,
you can improve your website's user experience by letting users know that only a speci
fi
c page is missing/broken (and not your entire site),
providing them helpful links, the opportunity to report bugs, and potentially track the source of broken links in your site.
16. WEBSITE AUDIT
YOUR WEBSITE
16
Source: SEO Site Checkup. Conducted in February 2021 | Worldwide data
Medium priority
fi
xes:
‣ Your webpage is using "img" tags with empty or missing "alt" attribute.
‣ We found some HTML deprecated tags. You are advised to change these old tags with equivalent tags or proper CSS rules.
‣ A Google Analytics script is not detected on this page. While there are several tools available to monitor your site's visitors and traf
fi
c sources,
Google Analytics is a free, commonly recommended program to help diagnose potential SEO issues
‣ It does not appear that you are caching your pages. Cached pages serve up static html and avoid potentially time consuming queries to your
database. It also helps lower server load by up to 80%. Caching most visibly bene
fi
ts high traf
fi
c pages that access a database, but whose content
does not change on every page view. Common caching methods include Alternative PHP Cache, Quickcache, and WP Super Cache (for
Wordpress sites). Caching mechanisms also typically compress HTML, further reducing page size and load time.
‣ Your website is not using cache headers for your images. Setting cache headers can help speed up the serving of your webpages for users that
regularly visit your site and see the same images. Learn more about how to add expires headers to your images.
‣ Your website is not using cache headers for your JavaScript resources. Setting cache headers can help speed up the serving of your webpages
for users that regularly visit your site.
‣ Your website is not using cache headers for your CSS resources. Setting cache headers can help speed up the serving of your webpages for
users that regularly visit your site.
17. WEBSITE AUDIT
YOUR WEBSITE
17
Source: SEO Site Checkup. Conducted in February 2021 | Worldwide data
Low priority
fi
xes:
‣ Your webpage is using inline CSS styles!
‣ Your page uses more than 20 http requests, which can slow down page loading and negatively impact user experience.
‣ Your webpage is not serving all resources (images, javascript and css) from CDNs.
‣ Your URL performed 1 redirects! While redirects are typically not advisable (as they can affect search engine indexing issues and adversely affect
site loading time), one redirect may be acceptable, particularly if the URL is redirecting from a non-www version to its www version, or vice-versa.
‣ Your webpage doesn't take the advantages of HTML Microdata speci
fi
cations in order to markup structured data. View Google's guide for
getting started with microdata.
‣ Your webpage uses the noindex meta tag. This means that your webpage will be read but not indexed by search engines.

36. GROWTH EXPERIMENTS
A FEW HACKS TO POWER UP YOUR MARKETING
36
▸ Ads:
▸ Use automation tools such as Zalster or Madgicx for Facebook & Google Ads.
▸ Uncover best converting ads across Facebook, Google, Instagram and YouTube
▸ Add extra layers of niche interest targeting (recommended 5-10 layers) for Facebook.
▸ Apply data layering to exclude more audiences in re-marketing ad sets.
▸ Set up separate campaigns per Persona + Journey step + Keyword sets
▸ Get $300-$2,300 in TikTok ad credit
▸ Email:
▸ Increase your open rates and CTR with personalised video
▸ Improve signup con
fi
rmation rates with Sniper Link Technique
▸ Content:
▸ Generate creative content headlines using Headlime
▸ Get your product reviewed by top bloggers with GetReviewed.org and Easy Bloggers
▸ Instantly transform your content into unique video, audio, stories & collections
▸ Use Biteable to create quick videos at low cost
▸ Conversion optimization:
▸ Add a short form above the fold on your home page (1-2
fi
elds maximum). This can later lead to complete a full form on step 2. By splitting form
fi
elds you can capture more leads,
which you can later nurture and convert into sales.
▸ Add an explainer video above the fold to tell about your core advantage over other alternatives. Show how it works "in a nutshell”
▸ Showcase who is already using your product, add reviews, testimonials and client logos
▸ Add your app reviews to the home and landing pages on the website. External ratings show more credibility than your own stars.
▸ Add more lead capturing options on your website: a guide, a quiz, a newsletter subscription
▸ Use Noti
fi
cationX to show who used Kabbex, while they are browsing your landing page
▸ Community:
▸ Create your own community for Fashion eCommerce using PeerBoard. This way you will be driving more organic traf
fi
c to your own website, generate inbound leads and increase
your organic conversion rate.
