Description is too long

META Description tag - next on the tag relevance with working on internal optimization. Despite, that searching system not attach great importance in page ranking, of META Description tag attractiveness depends CTR (click through rate) on the website in the searching result, because frequent result is based on Title tag and Description. Include into the qualitative short description of the page, which can attract potential visitors, which view the search results in Google, Yahoo or Bing. Detailed description you can find in help menu on Google .

Text/code Ratio is bad

Ratio of the text on the page to the total number of html-code so too low - 24.180418425613 . It means that there is too much code and few text, it need to make the text advantage. Try to make styles in external CSS-files, and JavaScript-scripts to external JS-files. Also check HTML, probably it has something to optimize.

  • Text Length:
  • Total Length: 171978

The ratio of text on the page to html code directly affects the indexing by searching systems. Large amount of text is looking good for searching systems. Searching systems evaluate the content, rather than code, so the main part of the web-page should be full of text content. Recommended value - amount of the text on the page should be no less than %s%%.

Too much links was found

We found 429 of links, but it must be not over than 100 links per page

Internal relinking is very important for SEO. Downloading weight on main pages of your web-site by entering links from other pages, you improve the performance of pages that are referenced. If on the contrary share links to other resources - you give the weight and downloads to anothers resources rather than your pages. Remember, the single internal relinking is not enough for downloading weight on the web-site, requires makeup from other external resources. Maximum recommended number of links to external web-sites should not exceed 10%%. Despite the fact that the searching systems formally removed this limitation, its recommended to adhere to a reasonable number of links on a page. In our experience - it is not more than 100 links per page.

Inline CSS-styles was found

We detected inline-styles of coding design. There are 74 inline styles which robot has found. It's necessary to put them in a special CSS file

Examples:
  1. tag: div, style: display:none
  2. tag: span, style: width:200px;display:inline-block;position:relative
  3. tag: div, style: text-align:center
  4. tag: ul, style: display:inline-block
  5. tag: img, style: display: inline-block;vertical-align: middle;margin-right: 3px;

Inline-styles - styles which can't be taken out to a special CSS file, they set into HTML-code. This has negative impact on the page size. Inline-styles are also negatively affect the ratio of text to html-code, which must be kept within certain limits. Searching systems value the content of the page, instead of code.

Too much H2 tag usage was found

You use H2 tags 35 times on this page. We believe that this is too much! It's a good practice to rich the limit of 20 usages.

  1. Slow-Cooked Lamb Shoulder with Orange, Yogurt...
  2. Three Easy Pieces for Dinner
  3. And 33 more...

H1 tag - this is the main title of the page, H2 - subtitle. They are used to highlight summary and paragraphs of the text on the page. Numbers from H tags determine their importance, depending of the level of a title, for example H1, H2, H3, H4, H5 and etc. H1 - high priority, H2 - lower priority and so on. This is done primarily for the convenience of reading material and highlight the most important text titles, but H1 and H2 tags are also taken into consideration by searching systems while ranking. H3, H4, H5 tags H3, H4, H5 tags and others do not have such impact on the raking of a website as H1 and H2 do, but using to improve the visual text. H1 tag should be used only once per page, H2-H5 tags can be used in any quantity. Detailed description you can find in Starter Guide from Google .

You have open external links

You have 23 external links that is not using rel="nofollow" link attribute. Add rel="nofollow" to increase the weight of the page.

  1. www.facebook.com
  2. twitter.com
  3. And 21 more...

According to Google and other SEs, using the rel=”nofollow” html attribute for a link stops it from being a vote for another page. In other words, whenever you use the nofollow html attribute on an outbound link, you are informing Google that you do not vote for this website and do not help it’s PageRank increase in anyway, saving your own page weight. Detailed description you can find in help menu Google .

Alt attribute is missing

Alt attributes with image description can't found at 9 images. Add the alt attribute and point it in to a brief description of the image. It can help to rank site with keywords from the images.

Images URLs:
  1. https://www.chowhound.com/assets/2017/03/nav-easte

Searching systems loves rich-content and rich variety of content pages. Therefore, we recommend to add images on the page with using img tags. For each img image must be registered alternative alt tag. Firstly, it can be shown on the web-site when images are disabled, secondly searching systems getting smarter thought with every passing day, but it not already learned to massively recognize images, and it analyze the essence of the image in the text, spelled out in the alt attribute. This is also attract more additional visitors from the "Search by image" in Google, Yahoo and Bing. There is another way for adding images - through the CSS styles, but in this case they not require alt attribute, but it not ranked by searching systems. Detailed description you can find in help menu on Google .
