As a developer who's spent time building web tools, I wanted to share some practical SEO insights I've picked up — and announce a free resource I built.
The Problem
Most small businesses and indie developers launch websites without thinking about SEO. They wonder why nobody finds them on Google. The truth is, there are usually easy wins hiding in plain sight.
Common Issues I See
After auditing dozens of websites, here are the most frequent problems:
1. Missing or Duplicate Meta Tags
Every page needs a unique <title> and <meta name="description">. Without them, Google makes up its own (usually badly).
2. Slow Page Speed
Core Web Vitals matter. If your LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) is over 2.5 seconds, you're losing rankings. Common fixes:
- Compress images (WebP format)
- Lazy load below-the-fold content
- Minimize render-blocking CSS/JS
3. Poor Mobile Experience
Over 60% of web traffic is mobile. If your site isn't responsive, you're invisible to most users.
4. No Internal Linking Strategy
Internal links help Google understand your site structure. Link related pages together with descriptive anchor text.
5. Missing Schema Markup
Structured data (JSON-LD) helps search engines understand your content. Add Organization, Article, or Product schema where appropriate.
What I Built
I created a services page at toolkit-dev.pages.dev/services.html where I offer:
- SEO Website Audits — Full technical analysis with actionable recommendations
- Content Writing — SEO-optimized blog posts and copy

The site also has a collection of free browser-based tools at toolkit-dev.pages.dev — privacy policy generator, invoice creator, QR code maker, and 30+ more.
