Remove the internal links, or use noindex instead of Disallow if the page should be fetchable. Linked from: https://sesaloncollective.com/, https://sesaloncollective.com/about.html, https://sesaloncollective.com/services.html. #### Interior page canonicalizes to the homepage - Rule: `canonical.points_to_homepage` · Category: Canonical · Occurrences: 1 - [https://sesaloncollective.com/index.html](https://sesaloncollective.com/index.html) — this interior page canonicalizes to the homepage (https://sesaloncollective.com/) — Google will treat the homepage as authoritative and drop this page from search. Point the canonical at the page's own URL. #### Thin content (low word count) - Rule: `content.thin` · Category: Content · Occurrences: 1 - [https://sesaloncollective.com/blog.html](https://sesaloncollective.com/blog.html) — 125 words #### Hero/LCP image is lazy-loaded (loading=lazy delays LCP) - Rule: `images.no_lazy_lcp_candidate` · Category: Performance · Occurrences: 3 - [https://sesaloncollective.com/about.html](https://sesaloncollective.com/about.html) — the likely hero/LCP image (salon-building-delafield.jpg) has loading="lazy" — Google explicitly warns against lazy-loading the LCP image, because it delays the fetch until layout completes. Remove loading="lazy" from the first significant image and add fetchpriority="high" instead. - [https://sesaloncollective.com/blog.html](https://sesaloncollective.com/blog.html) — the likely hero/LCP image (pexels-photo-7752412.jpeg) has loading="lazy" — Google explicitly warns against lazy-loading the LCP image, because it delays the fetch until layout completes. Remove loading="lazy" from the first significant image and add fetchpriority="high" instead. - [https://sesaloncollective.com/blog/balayage-vs-highlights-difference.html](https://sesaloncollective.com/blog/balayage-vs-highlights-difference.html) — the likely hero/LCP image (pexels-photo-7752412.jpeg) has loading="lazy" — Google explicitly warns against lazy-loading the LCP image, because it delays the fetch until layout completes. Remove loading="lazy" from the first significant image and add fetchpriority="high" instead. ### Notices (23) #### No llms.txt for AI agents - Rule: `agent.llms_txt_missing` · Category: Agent Readiness · Occurrences: 1 - [https://sesaloncollective.com/](https://sesaloncollective.com/) — no llms.txt found at the site root — add one so AI agents get a curated site summary #### Canonical target reachable only via a canonical tag (no inlinks) - Rule: `canonical.isolated_url` · Category: Canonical · Occurrences: 1 - [https://sesaloncollective.com/](https://sesaloncollective.com/) — this URL is a canonical target but has no internal links pointing to it — crawlers only learn of it via the canonical tag. Add direct internal links (or list it in the sitemap). #### Canonical points to a different URL - Rule: `canonical.non_self` · Category: Canonical · Occurrences: 1 - [https://sesaloncollective.com/index.html](https://sesaloncollective.com/index.html) — canonical=https://sesaloncollective.com/ #### Image alt text is very long (possible keyword stuffing) - Rule: `images.alt_too_long` · Category: Images · Occurrences: 3 - [https://sesaloncollective.com/](https://sesaloncollective.com/) — 2 image(s) with alt text over 100 chars — shorten it to a concise description - [https://sesaloncollective.com/about.html](https://sesaloncollective.com/about.html) — 1 image(s) with alt text over 100 chars — shorten it to a concise description - [https://sesaloncollective.com/index.html](https://sesaloncollective.com/index.html) — 2 image(s) with alt text over 100 chars — shorten it to a concise description #### Images without width/height (layout shift / CLS) - Rule: `images.missing_dimensions` · Category: Images · Occurrences: 3 - [https://sesaloncollective.com/](https://sesaloncollective.com/) — 5 of 8 images without width/height - [https://sesaloncollective.com/blog.html](https://sesaloncollective.com/blog.html) — 1 of 1 images without width/height - [https://sesaloncollective.com/index.html](https://sesaloncollective.com/index.html) — 5 of 8 images without width/height #### Page has only one internal inlink (fragile crawl path) - Rule: `links.single_inlink` · Category: Links · Occurrences: 1 - [https://sesaloncollective.com/blog/balayage-vs-highlights-difference.html](https://sesaloncollective.com/blog/balayage-vs-highlights-difference.html) — only one internal link points here — if that source changes, this page becomes an orphan.

The markup is harmless but earns no SERP enhancement; remove it during template maintenance. ## Checks & coverage Crawlinx ran **157 technical-SEO checks** across 27 categories.

Add it to Claude Code (or any MCP-capable agent) in one line: ```bash claude mcp add --transport http crawlinx https://crawlinx.com/mcp ``` Endpoint `https://crawlinx.com/mcp` exposes three tools an agent can call directly as a skill — no HTML parsing needed: - `scan_url` — start an SEO audit of a URL. - `get_report` — fetch the finished report as structured JSON. - `get_report_markdown` — fetch a compact, LLM-ready Markdown report. Once connected, an agent invokes these tools natively (e.g. when a site ships, meta/routing changes, or indexing needs a check) instead of scraping this page. ### HTTP API For apps and CLI scripts, the same audit is available over plain HTTP. **Start a scan** ``` POST https://crawlinx.com/api/scan Content-Type: application/json {"url":"https://example.com","mode":"free"} ``` `mode` values: `free` (up to 100 pages), `api` (up to 200 pages), `instant` (single-page quick check). Returns `{"id":""}` immediately (202) or a full report (200) for instant scans. **Get the JSON report** ``` GET https://crawlinx.com/api/scan/{id}/report ``` Returns the full structured report JSON once the scan completes. **Get this Markdown report** ``` GET https://crawlinx.com/r/{id}.md ``` Returns this LLM-ready Markdown document. **List recent public audits** ``` GET https://crawlinx.com/api/reports ``` ### Quick start (curl) ```bash # Start a scan → note the "id" in the JSON response curl -s -X POST https://crawlinx.com/api/scan \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"url":"https://example.com","mode":"free"}' # Then, with that id (replace {id}), fetch the Markdown report curl -s https://crawlinx.com/r/{id}.md ``` Full API reference & usage rules: https://crawlinx.com/api
