Template consistency checker
Paste the HTML source of two to five pages and instantly compare their on-page SEO elements side by side. Spot missing tags, inconsistent heading structures, absent schema markup and other template-level issues that can hold back your rankings.
Paste HTML source
Add two to five pages of HTML to compare. Use “View Page Source” in your browser to copy the full HTML of each page.
Why template consistency matters
Search engines expect a predictable, well-structured experience across every page of your site. When templates drift out of alignment, the consequences compound quickly.
Crawl budget waste
Missing or duplicate canonical tags across templates can cause search engines to crawl the same content multiple times. On large sites, this drains crawl budget from pages that actually need indexing.
Heading hierarchy confusion
If one template uses a single H1 while another outputs three – or none – Google receives mixed signals about each page's primary topic. Consistent heading structures help search engines parse content hierarchy correctly.
Rich result eligibility
Schema markup must be present and valid on every page where you want rich results. If a template update accidentally removes JSON-LD scripts from a subset of pages, those pages lose their enhanced SERP features overnight.
Social sharing failures
Missing Open Graph tags mean platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook will guess your title, description and image – often incorrectly. Inconsistent OG implementation across templates leads to a patchy brand presence in social feeds.
Accessibility and image SEO gaps
Templates that omit alt text on images not only hurt accessibility compliance but also miss an opportunity for image search visibility. A single template change can remove alt attributes from hundreds of pages at once.
Template consistency best practices
- Every page should have exactly one H1 tag that reflects its unique topic.
- Title tags should follow a consistent format and stay within 50–60 characters.
- Meta descriptions should be present on all pages and between 120–160 characters.
- Self-referencing canonical tags should appear on every indexable page.
- Schema markup should be present across all templates, not just the homepage.
- All images should include descriptive alt text for accessibility and image SEO.
