Core Analysis Areas

1. Target Keywords Analysis

• Identify primary and secondary keywords
• Check placement in title, H1, first 100 words, subheadings
• Calculate keyword density (target: 1-2%)
• Identify LSI keywords and semantic variations
• Flag keyword stuffing issues

2. Content Structure

• Verify heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3)
• Check keyword usage in headings
• Evaluate paragraph length (target: <150 words)
• Assess overall scannability
• Review content organization

3. Readability Metrics

// Readability scoring example
const readabilityMetrics = {
  fleschScore: 65,           // Target: 60-70
  gradeLevel: 8,             // Target: 7-9
  avgSentenceLength: 18,     // Target: <20 words
  passiveVoice: 5,           // Target: <10%
  transitionWords: 30        // Target: >30%
};

Key Metrics:

• Flesch Reading Ease score (60-70 ideal)
• Grade level estimation
• Average sentence length (<20 words)
• Passive voice percentage (minimize)
• Transition word usage

4. Technical SEO Elements

Element	Recommendation
Meta Title	50-60 characters with primary keyword
Meta Description	150-160 characters, compelling with keyword
URL Slug	Short, keyword-rich, hyphen-separated
Image Alt Text	Descriptive with natural keyword usage
Internal Links	Link to related content with keyword anchors
External Links	Quality outbound links to authoritative sources

5. Content Quality Assessment

• Content depth and topic coverage
• Unique value proposition
• E-A-T signals (Expertise, Authority, Trustworthiness)
