Tests¶
Wygard runs a catalog of continuous SEO monitoring tests — each test watches one specific element on your site and fires an alert the moment it deviates from the stored baseline. This page lists every MVP test, alphabetically.
Tests fall into two scopes:
- URL test — watches one element on one URL (e.g. the canonical tag, the
<h1>, the meta description). - Web test — watches a website-level resource (e.g.
robots.txt, the sitemap tree, URL duplication across protocol and host variants).
Severity: 🔴 Danger — reported immediately after the crawl batch. 🟠 Heads-up — batched into a daily digest. — depends on the NOK reason.
