Fix: Lighthouse SEO Score

varies Impact: medium Effort: medium ✓ Scan-verified — no manual checkbox

This is Google Lighthouse's overall SEO audit category score, distinct from the more granular checks — a composite readout across crawlability, mobile-friendliness, and content basics, useful as a quick top-level health signal.

Google's own Lighthouse engine grades a bundle of on-page SEO fundamentals — titles, descriptions, crawlability, indexability, structured data. It is the closest thing to Google grading your page itself.

How to fix it

  1. 1
    Run the audit
    PageSpeed Insights includes this as one of its four main category scores alongside Performance, Accessibility, and Best Practices.
  2. 2
    Expand every failing item
    The composite score matters less than the specific failed checks feeding into it.
  3. 3
    Fix the underlying specifics
    This score moves as a result of fixing the individual items covered by your other dedicated checks — don't chase this number directly.
