  5. Using External SEO Tools

Using External SEO Tools

Wix uses JavaScript so that you can create a stunning site with lots of freedom in the design. Additionally, we use SSR (Server Side Rendering) to help search engines crawl your site, view your meta tags and extract the relevant content from each of your pages. Click here to learn how to view your page's source code like search engines do. 

Understanding External Tool Suggestions

SSR allows most external SEO tools to read your page's source code. However, as these tools are external and subject to many factors, we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy. For the best results, you can use official search engines' SEO tools such as the Google Search Console.
For any issues or confusion with the external tool's report: 
  • Confirm the report is correct by checking the issue for yourself in your page's source code. 
  • If there is a confirmed issue, contact us with the suggestion from the external tool. Also include any steps taken to resolve the issue or any other relevant information. 

Using Wix SEO Setup Checklist

Instead of using external SEO tools, we recommend that you use SEO Setup Checklist. SEO Setup Checklist is a step-by-step plan designed to help you improve your site's SEO. It shows you how you can boost your online presence by outlining weak points, while providing helpful tips for improvement.
