nikhilsoman.in: homepage SEO audit

The most significant problem is that the homepage's code is large at 547KB, and one script is delaying the page from loading, which makes it slower than the rest of the site's setup would suggest. On the positive side, the page's titles and descriptions, mobile display and security settings are all in excellent shape, and the written content is strong. The most useful next step is to trim the page's code and load or defer the delaying script so the main content appears sooner.

1. 01
   ImportantPage Weight & Response

   This page's code is large (547KB)

   A heavy page takes longer to load, especially on mobile data. This is usually caused by too much inline code or content crammed onto one page.

   How to fix: Split very long pages, remove unused inline scripts/styles, and avoid embedding large data directly in the HTML.

2. 02
   ImportantPage Weight & Response

   1 script is delaying this page

   Scripts in the page header without 'async' or 'defer' force the browser to wait before showing anything. Adding one of those keywords lets the content appear sooner.

   How to fix: Add the defer (or async) attribute to <script> tags in your <head>, or move them to the end of the <body>.

   MinorHeadings

   Headings skip levels

   Headings work like a table of contents (H1 → H2 → H3). This page jumps a level somewhere, which makes the structure harder for Google and screen readers to follow.

   How to fix: Use headings in order — don't jump from H2 straight to H4. Pick heading levels for structure, not for font size (use CSS for styling).

   MinorContent & SEO Readiness

   No author or byline found

   This page doesn't say who wrote it. Google's E-E-A-T guidelines (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trust) reward content with a credible, named author — and AI assistants weigh authorship when deciding what to trust and cite.

   How to fix: Add a visible byline and a short author bio with real credentials, and mark it up with author structured data.

   MinorContent & SEO Readiness

   Question headings without a direct answer

   Your page poses questions in its headings but doesn't answer them concisely right below. AI assistants and Google's AI Overviews quote the short passage that directly resolves a question — a 1–3 sentence answer immediately under the heading — so a question with no tight answer beneath it rarely gets pulled.

   How to fix: Under each question heading, put a direct 1–3 sentence answer first, then expand. Lead with the answer, not the build-up.
