SEO Audit - May 8, 2026

TL;DR

Ahrefs API tools returned Insufficient plan on every endpoint (site-explorer-metrics, site-explorer-domain-rating, site-audit-projects, subscription-info, management-projects). The connected Ahrefs workspace does not include API access on the current plan.
Could not fetch crawl-based data (DR, organic traffic, backlinks, Site Audit issues) without a plan upgrade.
Did a manual audit of https://www.slateup.ai/ and https://app.slateup.ai/ instead. Both sites are well configured. Below are the small improvements applied to the slate-landing repo.
2 fixes committed locally to the repo, ready to push.

Every Ahrefs MCP call returned { "error": "Insufficient plan" }. To unblock automated audits in future runs, one of the following is needed:

Upgrade Ahrefs plan to a tier that includes API units (Standard plan and above on most billing pages).
Switch to a free alternative for automated runs (Google Search Console MCP for query/impression data, or PageSpeed Insights for Core Web Vitals).
Perform manual audits via the Ahrefs web UI and paste a CSV export here, then have Claude parse it.

Fetched live HTML. Strong baseline already in place.

Item	Status	Notes
Title tag	OK	`Slate — AI-powered Interactive Classroom`
Meta description	OK	Present, well written, ~180 chars
Meta keywords	OK	Reasonable set (AI classroom, NCERT, JEE, NEET)
Robots	OK	`index, follow`
Canonical	OK	Per-page canonical is server-rendered by `inject-page-meta.mjs`, with a JS fallback
Open Graph	OK	Full set including `og:image`, `og:locale=en_IN`
Twitter Card	OK	`summary_large_image`
JSON-LD	OK	Organization + WebSite, Article + BreadcrumbList for blogs
Robots.txt	OK	Allows all, points to sitemap
Sitemap	OK	142 blog URLs + 13 static, deployed copy dated 2026-05-02
hreflang	OK	`en` and `x-default` set per route
Per-route meta	OK	Static + blog routes get unique title/description/canonical via post-build
H1 in initial HTML	Weak	SPA, server HTML has no H1. The `<noscript>` fallback now includes one, which helps
Crawler-friendly content	Weak	Content is React-rendered. Modern Googlebot handles this but Bing and many AI crawlers do not

Item	Status	Notes
Title	Minimal	Just `Slate`
Description	OK	Short, accurate
Robots	Intentional	`noindex, nofollow` — correct for a logged-in app
Open Graph	Missing	OK to skip since the app should not be indexed

No changes recommended for app.slateup.ai. It correctly stays out of the index.

Ran node scripts/generate-sitemap.mjs. The deployed sitemap was dated 2026-05-02. The fresh sitemap now has:
