The catalog contains 53 checks, three levels of importance, and six categories. We analyze the report structure, the order of fixes, and why you shouldn't chase a zero problem count.

The audit report is a list of identified issues across the site's pages. In total, the catalog contains 53 checks, categorized into six categories and three levels of importance. Understanding this structure saves hours: it becomes clear what to fix today and what can be left untouched.

Three Levels of Importance

LevelWhat It MeansNumber of Checks
ErrorThe page is inaccessible to search or is technically broken9
WarningIt works, but hinders ranking or user experience25
NoteNot critical, should be fixed when possible19

Errors include 4xx and 5xx codes, inaccessibility, redirect loops, multiple canonicals, missing or duplicate Titles, links to broken pages, and mixed content. Everything else can wait.

In What Order to Fix

  1. Errors on important pages. An inaccessible or closed page is not ranked at all — nothing else matters for it.
  2. Mass warnings. One issue on five hundred pages is a template problem, fixed with one edit.
  3. Warnings on traffic-generating pages. Look at the intersection of the report with Search Console data.
  4. Notes — as a last resort. The absence of Open Graph does not hinder ranking, although it spoils the link appearance in messengers.
Don't Chase a Zero
An ideally clean report is not a goal: a live site will always have long URLs and pages without microdata. The purpose of the audit is to find what truly hinders, not to reset the counter.

What Else Is in the Report

Besides the list of problems, the audit calculates Health Score — a summary assessment of the state, builds a graph of internal links, and shows the “Lost Traffic” block: pages that are underperforming in clicks relative to their demand. An overview of the service as a whole — SEO Audit.
