Домен
davidmcelroy.org
Состояние доменного имени
?
Проверяем корректность доменного имени и наличие технических проблем на уровне домена.
Длина домена велика. Но если вы продвигаете запрос, входящий в название домена, то это хорошо.
Домен второго уровня идеален для продвижения.
Ответ сервера
200 Успешный ответ
HTTP-код ответа и цепочка редиректов
?
Код 200 — страница доступна. Коды 3xx — редиректы (цепочки замедляют загрузку и размывают ссылочный вес). Коды 4xx/5xx — ошибки, поисковик не сможет проиндексировать страницу.
Сервер настроен корректно.
Безопасность
Сайт небезопасен
Использование HTTPS и SSL-сертификат
?
HTTPS — обязательный стандарт. Google и Яндекс отдают предпочтение защищённым сайтам. Отсутствие SSL или просроченный сертификат ведут к предупреждениям в браузере и снижению позиций.
На сайте не найден защищенный протокол ssl и сайт не открывается по https!
Включён HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) — защита от подмены на http.
Поздравляем! Сайт не содержится в реестре РКН.
Кодировка
UTF-8
Кодировка символов страницы
?
Стандарт — UTF-8. Неправильная кодировка вызывает нечитаемые символы и мешает поисковику корректно распознать текст страницы.
Указана кодировка на странице UTF-8.
Язык
en-US
Атрибут lang в HTML-теге
?
Атрибут lang (<html lang="ru">) сообщает поисковикам и браузерам, на каком языке написана страница. Помогает при ранжировании в региональном поиске.
Язык документа указан явно: en-US.
Скорость загрузки
~1,14сек
Время отклика сервера (TTFB)
?
Time To First Byte — время до получения первого байта от сервера. Норма до 200 мс. Медленный отклик ухудшает пользовательский опыт и ранжирование: Яндекс и Google учитывают скорость страниц.
Скорость загрузки сайта 1,14сек превышает 1 секунду. Желательно улучшить работу сайта!
Объем документа
189Кб
Размер HTML-кода страницы
?
Слишком большой HTML замедляет парсинг браузером и сканирование поисковым роботом. Рекомендуется не более 200 Кб.
Объем html-документа 189Кб оптимален.
Структура html-документа корректна.
Ресурсы
Ресурсы: 18
Внешние ресурсы страницы (CSS, JS, изображения)
?
Количество и тип подключённых ресурсов влияют на скорость загрузки. Большое число запросов увеличивает время рендеринга страницы.
Кол-во файлов ресурсов 18 много для одной страницы. Приемлемо до 10. Проведите оптимизацию файлов ресурсов!

Серверные заголовки
Кол-во: 11
HTTP-заголовки ответа сервера
?
Заголовки сервера передают браузеру и поисковику служебную информацию: кеширование, безопасность (CSP, HSTS), сжатие (gzip). Правильная настройка ускоряет загрузку и повышает защищённость.
Найдены серверные заголовки 11шт. Подробнее про серверные заголовки.

CMS
PrestaShop
Система управления сайтом (движок)
?
CMS — это движок, на котором работает сайт (WordPress, 1C-Bitrix, Tilda и др.). Знание CMS помогает понять возможности SEO-оптимизации и подобрать подходящие инструменты. «Не определена» — вероятно, самописный сайт или нестандартная сборка.
Сайт работает на CMS PrestaShop.
Веб-сервер
LiteSpeed
Программное обеспечение сервера
?
Веб-сервер — это ПО, которое отдаёт страницы посетителям (nginx, Apache, IIS, LiteSpeed и др.). Определяется по серверным заголовкам ответа (Server, X-Powered-By и т.п.). «Не определён» — сервер намеренно скрывает эти заголовки, это нормальная практика безопасности.
Сайт работает на веб-сервере LiteSpeed.
Мета-теги Готовность: 28%
Title
David McElroy
Заголовок страницы в браузере и поисковой выдаче
?
Title — главный SEO-заголовок страницы. Влияет на CTR в поиске и ранжирование. Оптимальная длина: 50–70 символов. Ключевые слова — ближе к началу.
Необходимо увеличить число символов в title (текущее значение мало: 13, минимум: 25, оптимально: от 40 до 45)
Дублей словоформ в title не найдено.
Description
making sense of a dysfunctional culture
Описание страницы в поисковой выдаче (сниппет)
?
Meta Description — текст под заголовком в выдаче. Напрямую на позиции не влияет, но влияет на CTR. Оптимальная длина: 120–160 символов.
Необходимо увеличить число символов в description (текущее значение мало: 39, минимум: 80, оптимально: от 120 до 130)
Keywords
Список ключевых слов страницы (устаревший тег)
?
Meta Keywords не учитывается Яндексом и Google для ранжирования с 2009–2012 годов. Заполнение не обязательно, но не вредит. Конкурент может использовать содержимое для анализа.
Установите мета-тег keywords!
Канонический Url
https://davidmcelroy.org/
Указывает поисковику основную версию страницы
?
Canonical (rel=canonical) предотвращает проблему дублей страниц. Должен точно совпадать с URL проверяемой страницы. Неправильный canonical может передать ссылочный вес на другую страницу.
Пропишите корректный канонический Url!
Robots
Есть ошибки
Директивы для поисковых роботов на уровне страницы
?
Meta Robots управляет индексацией конкретной страницы: index/noindex — индексировать ли, follow/nofollow — следовать ли по ссылкам. Noindex полностью исключает страницу из поиска.
Meta-тег robots указан, но в нем содержится неизвестное значение...
Адаптивность
width=device-width, initial-scale=1
Настройка масштабирования на мобильных устройствах
?
Тег viewport (<meta name="viewport">) сообщает браузеру, как масштабировать страницу на мобильных. Стандарт: width=device-width, initial-scale=1. Отсутствие — признак отсутствия мобильной версии.
Meta-тег viewport со значением-константой width=device-width задаёт ширину страницы в соответствии с размером экрана.
Meta-тег viewport со значением initial-scale=1.0 определяет масштаб 1:1, т.е. «не масштабировать».
Разметка OpenGraph
Кол-во: 10
Мета-теги для красивых превью в соцсетях
?
OpenGraph (og:title, og:description, og:image) управляет тем, как страница выглядит при репосте в социальных сетях и мессенджерах. Отсутствие OG-тегов — невзрачный превью при шеринге.
Разметка OpenGraph задана. Страница оптимизирована под социальные сети.

Структура
Ошибок нет
Семантические HTML-элементы страницы
?
Проверяет наличие основных структурных элементов: nav, header, footer, main. Корректная семантическая структура помогает поисковику понять архитектуру страницы.
Структура документа корректна (теги <html> и <body> присутствуют по одному на документ).
Контент
Есть ошибки
Объём и качество текстового содержимого
?
Анализирует объём полезного текста на странице. Слишком мало — страница может считаться малополезной. Слишком много — ухудшается читаемость и восприятие.
Слова из title 2 встречаются в тексте редко. Добавьте в контент страницы слова из тега <title>!
Абзацев с текстом 57 достаточно.
Среднее число слов в абзаце 34 достаточно.
Кол-во знаков контента 11501 на странице оптимально.
Кол-во слов 2110 на странице оптимально.
Заголовки
Ошибок нет
Иерархия заголовков H1–H6
?
H1 должен быть один и содержать ключевой запрос. H2–H6 описывают подразделы. Пропуск уровней (H1 → H3) и несколько H1 — типичные ошибки, снижающие понятность страницы для поисковика.
На странице присутствуют заголовки <h1> 1. Это прекрасно.
На странице присутствуют заголовки <h2> 5. Это хорошо.
На странице присутствуют заголовки <h3> 13.
Тошнота
3,74
Насколько одно слово доминирует в тексте
?
Классическая тошнота = √(частота самого повторяющегося слова). Норма до 7–8: текст воспринимается естественно. Выше — поисковик может счесть страницу переспамленной.
Тошнота превышает норму 3. Измените текст страницы!
Академич. тошнота
19,05%
Насколько текст перенасыщен ключевыми словами
?
Академическая тошнота = (частота слова / общее количество слов) × 100%. Показывает долю конкретного слова в тексте. Норма 5–15%.
Академическая тошнота превышает норму 5-15%. Измените текст страницы!

<p>If you’re worried about artificial intelligence taking your job, maybe you’re doing a job that humans don’t really need to be doing.</p>
<p>AI software is great at a lot of things that humans don’t do very well or don’t do very efficiently. It can also save humans a lot of time by doing things we would rather not do.</p>
<p>For instance, I have ChatGPT proof my writing for typos and other style errors. It often saves me from looking foolish with careless mistakes, but it sometimes makes suggestions that are laughably ridiculous.</p>
<p>You see, software has no idea what I’m trying to achieve, with my life or my writing. Software has no ideas of its own. Software has no judgment. Software has no taste.</p>
<p>What’s more, the software knows this. It has “read” dozens of my essays, so it has come to see patterns in what I write. It’s smart enough to recognize that, but that doesn’t mean it could do the same on its own.</p>
<p>I asked ChatGPT what difference a reader would notice between one of my essays and an essay that it might write. Here’s the response:</p>
<blockquote>

<p class="p3">I started my life full of hope. I believed people were good and that my future was bright.</p>
<p class="p3">The world was some sort of ideal and rational place, at least in my mind. I learned to believe — in a way that isn’t clear to me anymore — that intelligence and hard work were always rewarded. I believed most other people were decent and well-meaning. They shared my values.</p>
<p class="p3">Somewhere along the way, I absorbed an unspoken promise about life.</p>
<p class="p3">If I was intelligent enough and worked hard enough and developed whatever gifts I had, there would be a place for me. The world would value what I had to offer. I would find people who shared my values. I would love and be loved.</p>
<p class="p3">I would find where I belonged. Nobody ever stated the promise quite that way. But I believed it.</p>
<p class="p3">Living an adult life is nothing like what my childhood led me to expect.</p>
<p class="p3">I’ve discovered that high intelligence is often a handicap, not a ticket to success. Shallow hearts and dishonest actions are often rewarded instead. Most of all, I’ve come to see that most people don’t share my values. They’re not much like me.</p>
<p class="p3">I see us as a shallow and unhappy culture which has focused so much on material advancement that we’ve overlooked the spiritual and emotional elements which are ultimately more important.</p>
<p class="p3">And I have become bitterly disappointed about all of this.</p>

<p>The company next door to my office moved last week, so I had to say goodbye to some people I’ve gotten to know pretty well.</p>
<p>When I arrived back at the office late in the day last Friday, I stopped to see how their move was going. Laura was the only one left in the office and she was loading her car with the last things from her desk. She was exhausted and she stopped to chat. Then I told her something I hadn’t planned to say.</p>
<p>“I’m going to miss you,” I told her. “Of all the people who’ve worked here over the years, you’ve been my favorite. This might sound strange, but it’s because you’re a really <em>good</em> person. I just want you to know that I can tell that about you.”</p>
<p>She was flattered and happy. She thanked me for telling her. The rest of our conversation just confirmed what I already thought about her. I walked away feeling glad that I had admitted what I’d seen in her.</p>
<p>I’ve been thinking about that conversation ever since then. What about Laura struck me strongly enough that I felt like telling her that I saw her as a “good person”? I wasn’t sure at first. But then it hit me.</p>
<p>It’s not that she’s perfect. She’s a pretty ordinary person. It’s simply that standards of morality, ethics and decency have fallen so far that a “good person” really stands out by comparison.</p>
<p>And that’s alarming to me.</p>

<div class="textwidget"><p>As part of my effort to <a href="https://davidmcelroy.org/?p=40241" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rid my life of social media</a>, I will no longer display links to my two Instagram accounts here. Those accounts will be dormant for the time being and will eventually be deleted. I plan to have a method for displaying photos here instead, but the solutions I’ve tested so far have been disappointing. I’m still working on it.</p>

<img decoding="async" src="http://davidmcelroy.org/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="Almost a month ago, I posted a photo of a “tuxedo cat” who’s been hanging out in my neighborhood. I can’t find any evidence that he has a home, so I eventually started leaving water and food out for him. He’s been eating on my porch and he finally let me rub him while he ate a couple of days ago. He’s purred while I rubbed him for the last two nights and he let me pick him up for a minute late Thursday night. He wasn’t thrilled with me picking him up, but he allowed it — and didn’t try to scratch me. I took this photo of us while he was trying to decide whether to tolerate me or eat me alive. 😺" aria-hidden="true">

<p>It hasn’t happened yet, but there’s a possibility that I might be taking in a fourth feline. A couple of months ago, a cat-loving neighbor asked whether I’d seen a “tuxedo cat” hanging out in the neighborhood. I hadn’t, but this guy eventually wandered past my house a few weeks later — and we haven’t been able to find evidence that he has a home. I’ve been giving him water and food for the last week and he finally let me pet him two nights ago. He’s purred for me two nights in a row and he let me take a low-quality selfie with him Thursday night. Tonight, though, he let me pick him up and bring him inside to look around. This went surprisingly well, as you can see from this photo. I don’t know whether he’ll be joining the family, but I’m certain that Alex, Oliver and Sam would vote no, at least until they get to know him. I’m trying to make certain he doesn’t have a home, but if he does join us, what do you suppose his name will be?</p>

<p>It turns out that the radical far left has been training “Antifa cats” to sabotage anything important to Donald Trump. Everything he did was perfect. Honest. It was all the cats’ fault. Arrest all the cats! This is the latest of my ridiculous satirical shorts. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juqJbcAq5n4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Please go watch it</a>. Then “like” it and subscribe. Please. I’m begging you. (Too much?) Although a couple of the previous videos have had views in the hundreds, most have still been seen by fewer than 20 people. So I seem to be having trouble letting people know that page exists.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQtru2B6xIU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Here’s the latest</a> of my ridiculous parody shorts. It crossed my mind Tuesday to wonder what a slick and fast-talking car dealer might do right now to try to turn the high price of gasoline to his advantage. So I conceived of a fat and lovable character who tried to sell cars that don’t use any fuel — and then I started wondering if it would be funnier if all the characters were felines. Designing the King Cashpaw character took about four hours, but the rest took only another four hours, so this was a relatively quick piece that virtually wrote itself. I know it’s almost impossible for these parody videos to find a larger audience, but at least they amuse me — and there are 19 of them on my YouTube page now. The first few were very limited, but they’re getting more complex.</p>

<p>The Republican Party is dead. It still exists in name, of course, but it’s nothing but a shell. All that’s left are idiots and stooges and con men of the MAGA party. When Donald Trump is gone — which won’t be long — those populist idiots and pragmatic fools will have no one to follow. Democrats will thrive. They will take more power than ever and they will push the federal government further to the radical far left than ever. When that happens, don’t just blame Trump if you’re a conservative. Blame every person who has <a href="https://davidmcelroy.org/?p=37903" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed to be a conservative</a> and has given up on principles, character and everything else that Republicans once claimed to stand for. As someone who worked as a GOP political consultant for many years, this is disgusting and disturbing to me. Those who have enabled Trump to have almost unchecked power are going to be shocked when they see what they will unleash in the long run. It’s been plain all along what this narcissistic con man is. It’s your fault that you chose to pretend not to see what he really is.</p>

<p>We are ruled by the dumbest and most incompetent people among us — and we have a system which allows stupid and irresponsible people to force the costs of their idiocy onto smarter and wiser people. Can we get away with that? Yes, for quite some time. But we eventually reach a point at which the dumbest of the dumb — who are habitual liars and mentally ill fools — lead us to the disasters and destruction that some of us have seen coming for years. We are approaching that point. And yet most of the idiots around us still wave their rhetorical banners of support for the evil people who are leading us to ruin — and all of them point their fingers at someone else, never noticing that their own enthusiastic support of evil is to blame. When things finally fall apart, blame yourself for your blindness to the evil, not whoever happens to be in power when it happens.</p>
