🛩️ How to Fix Rank Math SEO Analyzer Errors (H1, Canonical URLs)! 📈

Hello friends from Marieú Technology Corporation, let’s fix rank math seo analyzer errors! Indeed, in this step-by-step guide, you will learn how to improve the H1 tag, URL canonicalization, and image alternative (ALT) attribute with Rank Math. This guide focuses on resolving key rank math seo analyzer errors.

Rank Math is a search engine optimization tool for a website, located as a plugin within WordPress. It allows you to create and design web pages using templates, widgets, or predefined blocks. The Rank Math plugin installation is free and contains basic functions. If you want greater features like AI content, it offers plans for agencies, companies, entrepreneurs, and others.

How to Fix Rank Math SEO Analyzer Errors?

We will use WordPress, and within WordPress, we will install Rank Math. We have a separate video specifically for the Rank Math installation. We are going to resolve three main errors. The first one is “H1 Heading” or “H1 Title.” We resolve it by changing the HTML tag within Elementor. For the second error, we are going to focus on Canonical URLs for the triple W (www) version.

It is recommended, in this case, to redirect it so that it is only without the triple W (www) to improve SEO. Remember that SERP (Search Engine Results Page) is also important. The third error would be “Image Alt Attributes,” which we will resolve within an advanced configuration of Rank Math SEO. Finally, number 4, we will carry out some validations to show that each of these errors or failed tests have been resolved.

Done, so we are in WordPress, and remember that we covered the Rank Math installation in a previous video. We go to the SEO Analyzer and look for “H1 Heading.” There it is, this is the error. So, for us to resolve this error, we have to do the following: “H1 Heading” tells us “too many H1 tags have been found within the homepage.” For this, we enter the main page, open the Elementor editor, and there it is. It is advised to have only one H1 tag on each page.

So, let’s see, if we select the title “Minimalist Design Web Page,” we verify that it has an H1 tag. Okay, perfect. So, we must prevent the others from having the same H1 tag. If we find another one, we have to change it to H2. Following these steps helps resolve H1 related rank math seo analyzer errors.

We check, what would be another one? For example, here we have H2. We check and find it here. We have an HTML H1 tag. You can look for it this way, or also within the results. For example, here the results tell us that they found H1 within 1, 2, 3, and “Verify your website performance.”

So, we are going to find the numbering 1, 2, 3, there it is, and we change H1 to H2 and set the size to “Large,” so the size is not reduced. We do the same with the next one: H2 and Large. The same with the third one: H2 and we put Large. Where else do we find it? Here they tell us it is in “Website Performance.” Let’s see where it is. Here it is! “Verify your website performance.” We change it to H2, set the size to Large, and update.

Now, we are going to solve error number 2. Remember, canonicalization of www. There are two options: we can leave it with the triple W, or we can remove it. In this case, we recommend removing it for the SERP and also because it helps a lot with SEO optimization.

Now, we are in the SEO Analyzer, we are going to look for the second error. The versions with www and the ones without www do not redirect to the same site.

So, we have to choose which of the two we keep? The one with www or remove that www? This decision is key for Canonical URLs. For this tester error, we are going to the Hosting. Within the Hosting, we are going to access all the hosting files. We are going to enter “Domains,” enter the first one, “Public,” and go to the .htaccess file. We are going to paste the following code. This code will basically redirect the URLs from the www version to the version without www. The only thing we have to change here is “[enlace sospechoso eliminado]” for each of your domains.

For marieu.com, we copy the URL and change it. Done, remember to save the changes. Finally, guys! we have the last error, “Image Alt Attributes.” We are now in the SEO Analyzer, we look for “Image Alt Attributes.” There it is! So here it tells us that some of the images on the homepage or landing page do not have the Alt attribute.

How does this Alt attribute help us? Remember that it helps us in the Google Search Engine. All images that have this Alt attribute help a lot in the Google search engine, why? To understand the context or contour of the image. So, we are going to solve it. This is super simple. We go to the Dashboard.

Once on the Dashboard, we go to Advanced mode and look for the “Image SEO” option. We enable “Image SEO.” Once enabled, we will go to “Settings.” In Settings, we select “Images,” and there we have: “Add missing Alt attributes.”

Final Results

Final Results: The advantage of using Rank Math, in this case, is that it allows us, simply with a switch button, to include these Alt attributes. We can do it manually, or we are going to do it here, directly from the Rank Math SEO plugin. We enable it. It shows you the format we want to include. We are going to leave it by default as “File Name” and click “Save Changes.”

Done, so once we restart the SEO Analyzer, we already have a better score; we have gone from 71 to 82 out of 100. Leveraging this feature is the easiest way to fix rank math seo analyzer errors related to image attributes. This successful fix of Canonical URLs and image attributes concludes our guide.
