Minor issues
Info::
Canonical tag present
Got: https://www.bea.gov/
Warning::
Canonical does not match final URL (https://bea.gov)
Info::
Canonical target returns 200
Info::
Canonical points to a different domain
Warning::
Canonical www-ness doesn't match the final URL
Either the canonical has 'www.' and the final URL doesn't, or vice versa. Search engines may index both forms as duplicates. Pick one and use it consistently in the canonical AND the redirect target.
Canonical URL Configured
Page URL https://bea.gov Canonical https://www.bea.gov/ Match Points to a different page Target 200 ✓

Either the canonical has 'www.' and the final URL doesn't, or vice versa. Search engines may index both forms as duplicates. Pick one and use it consistently in the canonical AND the redirect target.

Why this matters

Canonical has 'www.' and final URL doesn't (or vice versa). Search engines may index both forms as duplicates.

Pick one form -- with or without www -- and use it consistently in the canonical AND the redirect target. Both forms can resolve, but unless one redirects to the other AND the canonical agrees, search engines may treat them as duplicate-content variants.

Meta Tags
Title: 18 chars
REVIEW
Title: 18 chars
Info::
Page title is set
Got: (link is external)
Warning::
Title is only 18 characters — consider expanding
Warning::
No meta description tag found
Without a meta description, Google auto-generates a snippet from page content -- usually less click-attractive than a hand-written summary. Add `<meta name="description" content="...">` with a 70-160 char summary.
Info::
Title and H1 have very different wording
Alignment helps users confirm they've reached the right page.

18 characters Too short
Title: (link is external)
H1: Bureau of Economic Analysis
Match: Very different
Robots: Indexable (no restrictions)

Without a meta description, Google auto-generates a snippet from page content -- usually less click-attractive than a hand-written summary. Add `<meta name="description" content="...">` with a 70-160 char summary.

Why this matters

No meta description -- Google auto-generates a SERP snippet from page content, usually less click-attractive than a hand-written summary.

Meta description is shown as the snippet under the title in search results. A well-written description significantly improves click-through rate. Add `<meta name="description" content="...">` with a 70-160 character summary.

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.

Info::
6 redundant ARIA role attribute(s) on native semantic element(s)
The W3C "ARIA in HTML" spec calls this its first rule: don't use ARIA when a native HTML element already conveys the semantics. `<button role="button">`, `<a href role="link">`, `<nav role="navigation">`, `<main role="main">` -- the role attribute either does nothing or shadows the native semantic, occasionally breaking assistive-tech behaviors. Remove the redundant role.
