Optimize your website effortlessly with Seona, offering intuitive code change management, insightful PageSpeed analysis, and sneak peeks into visualized changes, all tailored to your preferences and needs.
Active and Disabled Changes
Code changes are divided into two categories: active and disabled. When automatic code changes are enabled, all active recommendations are automatically applied to your site.
However, if there are specific changes you prefer not to implement, you can easily disable them. Simply click the "Disable" button at the top right corner of any code change.
Moreover, you have the flexibility to edit any code changes to better suit your preferences. Click the "Edit" button in the top right corner of any code change to customize it. With automatic code changes enabled, any edits or changes made are instantly applied live to your website.
Types of Code Changes
Optimize title
Your page’s title is crucial to let Google know what your page is about. It is hidden for page visitors, but is read by Google’s crawling algorithm when it decides how to rank pages.
A good page title should be relevant to your page, contain keywords you are trying to rank for, and be roughly 55 - 60 characters.
Seona’s algorithm refines your title by scanning your page’s content, ensuring relevancy, optimal length, and keyword presence.
Optimize description
Similar to your page title, your page description is also hidden for page visitors but is read by Google’s crawling algorithm to better educate it about your website’s page.
A good page title should be relevant to your page, contain keywords you are trying to rank for, and be roughly 155 characters.
Seona’s algorithm refines your description by scanning your page’s content, ensuring relevancy, optimal length, and keyword presence.
Add Open Graph tag
Open Graph tags dictate how your content appears on social platforms like Facebook or Twitter. Seona adds Open Graph tags to more accurately represent your content when it's shared.
Add H1 tag
An H1 tag is your website page’s main header, and it helps educate Google’s crawling algorithm about your page.
Best SEO practices dictates exactly one H1 tag per page, so if Seona discovers your page does not have one, it will “promote” another header on your page to an H1 tag.
Note: Seona will make sure there are no visual changes when doing so, as it transfers the styles from the old header tag to the new one.
Convert extra H1 tags
An H1 tag is your website page’s main header, and it helps educate Google’s crawling algorithm about your page.
Best SEO practices dictates exactly one H1 tag per page, so if Seona discovers your page has multiple H1 tags, it will “demote” extra H1 tags to H2 tags.
Note: Seona will make sure there are no visual changes when doing so, as it transfers the styles from the old header tag to the new one.
Add canonical tag
When multiple pages have similar content, search engines consider them duplicate versions of the same page. Valid canonical links let you tell search engines which version of a page to crawl and display to users in search results.
Best SEO practice dictates each page contains a "canonical" tag, so Seona will add in missing "canonical" tags.
Modify link target
Properly adding link targets increases engagement by preventing users from permanently navigating away from your website when they access supplemental content.
Best SEO practice dictates each each external link contains a link target, so Seona will fill in missing link targets.
Add link title
The “title” attribute on link tags is a text description of where the link is referencing, and is useful for Google’s crawling algorithm to know what this link is being used for.
Best SEO practice dictates each link contains a descriptive “title” attribute, so Seona will fill in missing “title” attributes.
Add viewport meta tag
Many search engines rank pages based on how mobile-friendly they are. Without a viewport meta tag, mobile devices render pages at typical desktop screen widths and then scale the pages down, making them difficult to read.
Seona will ensure each page contains a viewport meta tag.
Preview
Currently, only some users have access to the Preview functionality, but rest assured, we are actively working on making it available to all users in the near future.
The Preview Page allows you to visualize where the code changes recommended by Seona are being applied on your site.
Top Toolbar Filtering
Navigate through the Preview Page seamlessly with the top toolbar. Here, you can filter among different types of code changes, toggle between active and disabled changes, and navigate through the pages of your site.
Left Toolbar Overview
The left toolbar on the Preview Page mirrors the code changes listed on the Overview Page. Each code change is represented here, allowing you to review them in detail. If a code change affects anything visually on your site, a small eye icon will appear when you hover over it. Clicking this icon reveals exactly where the change is implemented on your site.
To exit the Preview Page, simply click the "x" in the top right corner!
FAQ’s
How many pages of my site does Seona crawl?
Seona crawls 100 pages on the Seona standard plan and up to 250 pages on the Seona Pro plan.
Why do my code change recommendations not change over time?
Seona fully optimizes all the code changes for your site all at once and will only change for two reasons:
When content on your site is different from the last time Seona crawled your site.
There are large changes to a search algorithm.
How does Seona apply the code changes to my site?
Every time someone visits your site, Seona will intercept your site from your own server, apply its code changes, and then deliver the updated site, all in less than 100 ms! This also means when Google crawls and indexes your site for various search results, we also intercept their crawler and index the changes. This can be verified in your PageSpeed Insights tab! Seona also works in the background, allowing the crucial elements of your site to load before making your code changes.
How do I know if code changes are being applied to my site successfully?
If your Overview tab says “Automatically Applied,” then the code changes are live on your site. Remember, since Seona is applying the code changes server-side, the changes will not appear live in your code editor but instead will appear live on your site.
Some users may also see the Preview page, where you can view code changes live on your site.
To double-check code changes are applied to your live site, follow these steps:
Visit your page through a browser
Right-click a page on your site that Seona has code changes for, and select “Inspect”. From there, you can see the live code of your site.
Search for the applied changes (CMD-F or CTRL-F) from your Seona dashboard, and you should see the recommended code changes live on your site!
If I cancel my Seona subscription, what happens to the code changes?
Unfortunately, if you cancel your Seona subscription, you will lose all the code changes Seona wrote for you. We are not trying to be mean, but since we make the changes on the server-side, there is no way for us to make the code changes if you are not working with us. Sorry about that!
