Site-Specific Issues For Content Managers to Address
Module | Issue Description | Priority Level | How You Can Fix | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Accessibility | Heading issues |
| Be sure to use heading tags (H1, H2, H3, etc.) in hierarchal order and nest them where appropriate. Visitors who use assistive technology lose relative importance of content when heading tags are not in order. | ||||||
SEO | Mobile Speed |
| Speed can be affected by the size of images. Make sure images are .jpg format and optimized in size for web. Large images and .png format will slow the speed. | ||||||
SEO | Desktop Speed |
| Speed can be affected by the size of images. Make sure images are .jpg format and optimized in size for web. Large images and .png format will slow the speed. | ||||||
SEO | Navigation depth beyond 5 levels |
| Consider the hierarchy that you need for each section. Can the navigation be simplified, combined, etc.? | ||||||
SEO | Pages with iFrames |
| Consider if the iFrame is necessary. Can you link to the content rather than embed it? | ||||||
SEO | Pages with low text-to-code ratio |
| On pages where there is very little content, you may be able to combine content. |
