A canonical URL that redirects sends mixed signals to search engines.

Why this matters

A canonical URL that itself redirects sends mixed signals to Google — link equity may not consolidate as intended.

When the canonical link points to a URL that 301-redirects elsewhere, Google has to choose: follow the canonical chain or treat the redirect as authoritative. Behavior is inconsistent. Set canonical to the FINAL destination URL (post-redirect) so the signal is unambiguous.

Meta Tags
Title: 7 chars
PASS
Title: 7 chars
Info::
Page title is set
Got: Spellen
Warning::
Title is only 7 characters — consider expanding
Info::
Title and H1 have very different wording
Alignment helps users confirm they've reached the right page.
Title

"Spellen"

7 characters Too short
Title: Spellen
H1: Het laatste nieuws het eerst op NU.nl
Match: Very different
Robots: Indexable (no restrictions)

Alignment helps users confirm they've reached the right page.

Why this matters

Title and H1 disagree significantly — Google may treat one as the canonical topic and the other as off-topic, weakening ranking.

Learn more ▾

Title is the SERP headline; H1 is the on-page headline. They should describe the same page. Large divergence (different topics, different keywords) signals confusion and Google may rewrite the title in SERP. Align both to the same primary topic.

Text-to-HTML Ratio

Very low ratio suggests heavy framework overhead or boilerplate.

Informational: ratio of visible text bytes to total HTML bytes. Very low ratios suggest excessive markup overhead.
