Seo scan
What this page covers
Seo scan
A website SEO scan helps you check how search engines and AI-facing crawlers can access, render, and understand your site. It can reveal issues with structure, content visibility, performance, language setup, and extractable signals.
This topic also overlaps with newer GEO-style checks, including structured data, llms.txt, crawler handling, and whether key content is easy to interpret. The aim is to see what needs fixing first, then rescan after changes.
In brief
- An SEO scan can highlight technical and content visibility issues such as rendering problems, weak site structure, crawl barriers, and signals that affect how pages are understood.
- Modern scans may also review AI visibility factors, including structured data, llms.txt, and differences between how search crawlers and other bots access your pages.
- The most useful workflow is simple: scan the site, review the findings, fix the main issues, and rescan to measure what changed over time.
What to do
A strong SEO scan usually starts with discovery and rendering. That means checking whether important pages can be found, loaded, and read properly, especially when JavaScript, redirects, status codes, or weak internal structure get in the way.
It can also extend beyond traditional SEO checks. Depending on the setup, scans may review schema markup, llms.txt, crawler access patterns, and other signals that shape how search systems and AI tools interpret the site.
For most teams, a scan is most valuable as part of an ongoing process. You review the issues, make practical fixes, and run the scan again. That keeps the work tied to visible site improvements rather than assumptions or ranking claims.
What to keep in mind
A website scan is a diagnostic tool, not a guarantee of rankings or traffic. It helps identify likely technical and content issues so you can decide what to fix next with a clearer view of the site.
There are also practical limits. Radar does not scan websites behind logins, paywalls, access controls, or strong bot protection. When normal crawling is blocked, the available option here is to visualize a provided URL snapshot through JSON import.
The quality of any scan depends on what your site exposes to crawlers and how the website is built. Factors like language setup, rendering, speed, schema, and page structure all affect what the scan can reliably show.
