How to Run an Audit

Running your first audit takes about ten seconds:

  1. 1.Navigate to vektorai.io/site-audit
  2. 2.Enter the full URL of the page you want to audit (e.g. https://example.com/blog/my-post)
  3. 3.Click Run Audit and wait a few seconds while VektorAI fetches the page and runs every check.

Once the scan finishes, you will see a full report with scores, issue counts, and actionable fixes.

What Happens During the Scan

When you click Run Audit, VektorAI performs the following steps behind the scenes:

  • +HTML fetch — the raw HTML of your page is downloaded and parsed server-side.
  • +SEO checks — title tags, meta descriptions, heading hierarchy, image optimization, canonical URLs, internal links, and more.
  • +AEO checks — Open Graph tags, Twitter Cards, JSON-LD structured data, author signals, AI bot accessibility, and llms.txt.
  • +GEO checks — E-E-A-T signals, quotability, citation depth, content depth, and query alignment.
  • +Performance checks — Core Web Vitals pulled from Google PageSpeed Insights (LCP, CLS, TBT, FCP, TTFB).

The entire process typically completes in under 15 seconds depending on the target page size and PageSpeed Insights availability. According to Google's Search Central documentation, pages with complete meta tags and structured data see significantly higher crawl rates.

"Automated auditing catches 85% of common SEO issues that manual review misses, according to industry benchmarks."

Issue Severity Levels

Every issue found by the audit is tagged with one of three severity levels:

Critical

High-impact issues that directly hurt your rankings, AI visibility, or user experience. Fix these first. For example, a missing meta description is flagged as Critical because it directly impacts click-through rates from search results. Other examples include: missing title tag, broken canonical URL, and missing JSON-LD.

Warning

Moderate-impact issues that degrade quality signals or miss optimization opportunities. These won't break your site but will hold back your scores. Examples: title too long, images without lazy loading, thin content.

Info

Best-practice suggestions that improve polish and competitiveness. Not urgent, but worth addressing over time. Examples: missing Open Graph image dimensions, no Twitter card type, no llms.txt file.

What Each Issue Includes

Every issue in the audit report comes with enough context to understand and fix it immediately:

  • +Category — which pillar the issue belongs to (SEO, AEO, GEO, or Performance).
  • +Title — a concise name for the issue (e.g. "Missing meta description").
  • +Description — an explanation of why this matters and what it affects.
  • +Severity — Critical, Warning, or Info.
  • +Copy-paste fix — a ready-to-use HTML code snippet you can drop straight into your page's source.
<!-- Example fix: missing meta description -->
<meta name="description" content="Your page description here (50-160 chars)" />

Rate Limiting

To keep the service fast and fair for everyone, audit requests are rate-limited per 15-minute window:

  • +Anonymous visitors — 15 requests per 15 minutes
  • +Free account users — 15 requests per 15 minutes
  • +Pro plan users — 20 requests per 15 minutes

Cached Results

How does caching work?

Audit results are cached for 2 hours. If you (or anyone else) audit the same URL within that window, VektorAI returns the cached report instantly instead of re-scanning.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an audit take?
Most audits complete in under 15 seconds. The exact time depends on the target page size and Google PageSpeed Insights availability for performance metrics.
Can I audit any URL?
Yes, you can audit any publicly accessible URL. The page must be reachable over HTTPS and not blocked by authentication or IP restrictions. VektorAI fetches the raw HTML from the server and runs all checks against it.
What counts toward the rate limit?
Every "Run Audit" click counts as one request, even if the result comes from cache. The limit is per IP for anonymous users and per account for signed-in users, resetting on a rolling 15-minute window.
