Canonical Errors :- Website’s IP 199.59.136.220 does not redirect to your site’s domain name. This could cause duplicate content problems if a search engine indexes your site under both its IP and domain name. Right now it land to a default server page, so that is no issue with duplicate content, but yes it should redirect to our websites homepage for better SEO results.
Fix:- Apply Canonicalization. Here is a complete Guide How can we do this.
Apply 301 rewriterule in your .htaccess file so that your site’s IP points to your domain name.
If your site is running on apache server, you could put these lines in your .htaccess after RewriteEngine on line:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^199.59.136.220
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.ferrettafinancialservices.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Content :- Website have only 15% duplicate content which is a fair thing. But we have more common content as it’s 53% which is not a good sign, We need more Unique content on pages as it’s only 32% there. One of the most common issue is coming from the inner page indexing. When we sort that I am pretty sure. Website Unique content will increase its percentage and will leads to about 60+% which is still not enough. We can add more content on the pages as our page size (source code) is 132.36 Kb and our content text size is 7.83 Kb. Our content text represents 5.92% from our webpage source code. This is a low ratio and you might need to add more content. It will also increase the amount of unique content as well. So all that will be a good sign.
Keywords Density :- Details of each keyword is confidential and submitted to Ferretta Financial Services only.
Keyword density between .50% to 2.50% is ideal to get rank in search results. It is fine till 3.33% which is highest in our website case. They word combinations of ideal keyword density keywords are also good to get rank in search engine. This can give you a clear idea of content we have so far and which word needs to have higher or lower % or count in the page content of website.
Fix :- Write more unique Content, Fix inner page indexing issues and use proper keyword density for our main keywords.

Urls :- Website have some url issues as well. Most common are Urls with Underscores and use of non optimised #tags for tabs which should be a inner content of page. Also some pages have long urls, some have very short which can be optimized to get maximum from Url structure section.
Every faulty url is submitted to to Ferretta financial services for correction.
Fix:- Remove #tag Parameters for homepage and faqs, Replace the “_” with “-” and sort inner css and 302 redirect issue.

Plain Text Contact Info :- I found 1 email addresses in our page code. Which is as Plain text. Any e-mail address posted in public is likely to be automatically collected by computer software used by bulk emailers (a process known as e-mail address harvesting). A spam harvester can read through the pages in your site and extract email addresses which are then added to bulk marketing databases and the result is more spam in your inbox.
Fix :- Possible solutions are listed below:
- replace the at (@) and dot (.) characters
- replace text with images
- use email obfuscators
- hide email addresses using JavaScript or CSS trick
—————————————————————————————————————————————–
Inline CSS :- Website have inline css styles. Which make it load slow. Inline CSS styles are the CSS style we have applied out of our Stylesheet file. We need to have all CSS in the stylesheet file for better performance example :-
<!–this HTML code with inline CSS rule:–>
<p style=”color:red; font-size: 12px”>Call Us Today</p>
<!–would became:–>
<p>Call Us Today</p>
<!–and the rule added into your CSS file:–>
p{color:red; font-size: 12px}
Fix :- Combine all CSS in a Stylesheet file. Reduce the amount of Inline CSS to reduce page size as well as to increase page speed.
