What Google’s own SEO check found

Lighthouse is the audit built into Chrome and into PageSpeed Insights: Google testing a page with Google’s own rules. Its SEO section is short and mostly mechanical — is the page crawlable, does it have a title, is the text large enough to read — which makes the failures worth clearing before you spend effort anywhere subtler.
