Why is Website Health Score important?
The Health score is a metric to determine the
degree to which a page, or a website overall, is
optimized for SEO. The higher the score the
better. I usually use AHRefs and SEMRush to
do website health score audit to see the
errors that I need to fix in my client's website.
