Make sure that your website is prepared for mobile browsing.
These are the different aspects that can be optimized for mobile users:

• Mobile CSS
• Meta Viewport Tag
• Apple Icon
• Mobile Redirection
• No Flash content

Be sure that www.dame-cougar.com and dame-cougar.com are not running in parallel.

Redirecting requests from a non-preferred hostname is important because search engines consider URLs with and without "www" as two different websites.

Once your preferred domain is set, use a 301 redirect for all traffic to your non-preferred domain.

Consider rewriting your URLs.
Your site's URLs contain unnecessary elements that make them look complicated. A URL must be easy to read and remember for users. Search engines need URLs to be clean and include your page's most important keywords. Clean URLs are also useful when shared on social media as they explain the page's content.

Good, your website's IP address is forwarding to your website's domain name.

To check this for your website, enter your IP address in the browser and see if your site loads with the IP address. Ideally, the IP should redirect to your website's URL or to a page from your website hosting provider.

If it does not redirect, you should do an htaccess 301 redirect to make sure the IP does not get indexed.

Great, your website has a robots.txt file.

A robots.txt file allows you to restrict the access of search engine robots that crawl the web and it can prevent these robots from accessing specific directories and pages. It also specifies where the XML sitemap file is located.

Click here to check your robots.txt file for syntax errors.

Your website does not have an XML sitemap - this can be problematic.

A sitemap lists URLs that are available for crawling and can include additional information like your site's latest updates, frequency of changes and importance of the URLs. This allows search engines to crawl the site more intelligently.

We recommend that you generate an XML sitemap for your website and submit it to both Google™ Webmaster Tools and Bing Webmaster Tools. It is also good practice to specify your sitemap's location in your robots.txt file.

Great, your title contains between 10 and 70 characters.

Make sure your title is explicit and contains your most important keywords.

Be sure that each page has a unique title.

Meta keywords are used to indicate keywords that are relevant to your website's content. Because search engine spammers have abused this tag, however, it provides little to no benefit to your search rankings.

You can safely avoid the use of this tag for new web pages. For existing web pages, make sure the meta keywords do not appear to be spammy.

Good, most or all of your images have alternative text (the alt attribute).

‬‬Alternative text describes your images so they can appear in Google™ Images search results.

Great, this page's ratio of text to HTML code is higher than 15 percent.

Although your text to code ratio is good, you can always improve it by adding more text content to your pages.

A ratio between 25 and 70 percent is ideal. When it goes beyond that, the page might run the risk of being considered spam.

As long as the ‪‬‬content is relevant and gives essential information, it is a plus to have more of it.

Flash content has been detected on this page.

Flash should only be used for specific enhancements. Although Flash content often looks nicer, it cannot be properly indexed by search engines. Avoid full Flash websites to maximize SEO.

This advice also applies to AJAX.

Nevertheless, here are some quick SEO tips for websites using Flash.

Great, there are no frames detected on this page.

Frames can cause problems on your web page because search engines will not crawl or index the content within them.

Avoid frames whenever possible and use a NoFrames tag if you must use them.

Your website does not have a blog.

In this tough and competitive internet marketing world content marketing rules. While publishing your content on other sites might be a good strategy, publishing it on your own site garners more benefits.

Starting a blog is a great way to boost your SEO and attract qualified visitors.

Your website's PageRank is very low.

PageRank™ (commonly called PR) is a link analysis algorithm used by Google™ to assess the popularity/authority of a website. The PageRank goes from 0 to 10. New websites start at PR0 and authority websites, like Twitter.com, have a PR10.

Websites with a high PageRank are crawled more frequently and their outgoing links have more passing juice.

This is the number of pages on your website that are indexed by Google™.

The more pages that search engines index, the better, as this offers more opportunity for your website to be found.

A low number (relative to the total number of pages/URLs on your website) probably indicates that your internal link architecture needs improvement and is preventing search engines from crawling all of the pages on your website. You might want to create/check your site's XML sitemap and submit it to Google™. You must also build backlinks to your site's inside pages to help Google™ bots crawl and index your web pages.

Check Google™ Webmaster Tools under Health and Index Status, to keep track of the status of your site's indexed pages.

Your domain is old enough to encourage search engines to give it a higher rank.

Keep your URLs short and avoid long domain names when possible.

A descriptive URL is better recognized by search engines. A user should be able to look at the address bar and make an accurate guess about the content of the page before reaching it (e.g., http://www.mysite.com/en/products).

Keep in mind that URLs are also an important part of a comprehensive SEO strategy. Use clean URLs to make your site more "crawlable" by Google™.

Resource: Search for a good domain name. If no good names are available, consider a second hand domain. To prevent brand theft, you might consider trademarking your domain name.

Apparently your site does not have a 404 Error Page - this is bad in terms of usability.

Take the opportunity to provide visitors with a beautiful and helpful 404 Error Page to increase user retention.

Add a conversion form for repeat visitors. It could be used to sign up for a subscription, get an email address of a visitor or close an online sale. ‪‬‬Converting visitors into prospects/clients is probably the most important goal for your website.

• Specify the language code in the URL as well (e.g., "mywebsite.com/fr/mycontent.html").

Good, this web page takes advantage of Microformats.

A microformat is a technical semantic markup that can be used to better structure the data submitted to search engines.

Thanks to microformats, Google™ regularly improves its presentation of search results.

This page does not take advantage of Dublin Core.

Your server's IP address has little impact on your SEO. Nevertheless, try to host your website on a server which is geographically close to your visitors. Search engines take the geolocation of a server into account as well as the server speed.

Analytics Tools: Google™ Analytics, Quantcast™, SiteCatalyst™, Piwik™, chartbeat™, Clicky™, ClickTale™, etc.

Get to know the technologies used for your website. Some codes might slow down your website. Ask your webmaster to take a look at this.

To fix the detected errors, run the W3C validation service.

W3C is a consortium that sets web standards.

Declaring a doctype helps web browsers to render content correctly.
