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 безопасен
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 работает защищенный протокол ssl и сайт открывается по https.
Ssl-сертификат действителен до 24.09.2026 22:50:25.
Включён HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) — защита от подмены на http.
HTTP автоматически перенаправляется на HTTPS.
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
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.
Скорость загрузки
~0,56сек
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 0,56сек оптимальна.
Объем документа
224Кб
Размер HTML-кода страницы
?
Слишком большой HTML замедляет парсинг браузером и сканирование поисковым роботом. Рекомендуется не более 200 Кб.
Объем html-документа 224Кб оптимален.
Структура html-документа корректна.
Ресурсы
Ресурсы: 3
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 3 достаточно.

Серверные заголовки
Кол-во: 20
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 20шт. Подробнее про серверные заголовки.

CMS
MediaWiki
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 MediaWiki.
Веб-сервер
mw-web.eqiad.main-7f7db4796-xjx82
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.
В заголовке Server указано: mw-web.eqiad.main-7f7db4796-xjx82.
Мета-теги Готовность: 43%
Title
Todd Staples - Wikipedia
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: 24, минимум: 25, оптимально: от 40 до 45)
Дублей словоформ в title не найдено.
Description
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.
Установите мета-тег description!
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://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Staples
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.
Канонический Url прописан корректно.
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=1120
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 width задаёт фиксированную ширину области просмотра.
Разметка OpenGraph
Кол-во: 2
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 в одном экземпляре).
Контент
Ошибок нет
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 3 встречаются в тексте достаточно.
Абзацев с текстом 21 достаточно.
Среднее число слов в абзаце 82 достаточно.
Кол-во знаков контента 26189 на странице оптимально.
Кол-во слов 3071 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> 9. Это хорошо.
На странице присутствуют заголовки <h3> 2.
Тошнота
6,40
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 5. Измените текст страницы!
Академич. тошнота
14,13%
Насколько текст перенасыщен ключевыми словами
?
Академическая тошнота = (частота слова / общее количество слов) × 100%. Показывает долю конкретного слова в тексте. Норма 5–15%.
Академическая тошнота страницы в пределах нормы.
Семантическое ядро
20
Наиболее часто встречающиеся слова на странице
?
Топ слов по частоте использования. Показывает, какие слова доминируют в тексте с точки зрения поисковика.
