Problem Statement

As an OpenCart store owner, ensuring that your website is fully optimized for search engines can be a time-consuming and complex process. Manually checking SEO parameters across different pages, such as product, category, and home pages, requires significant effort and expertise. Additionally, identifying SEO issues and understanding how to fix them can be overwhelming, especially for store owners with limited SEO knowledge.

Common challenges faced by OpenCart store owners include:

• Missing or incomplete SEO elements like meta titles, descriptions, and header tags.
• Poorly optimized images and image attributes that affect page load speed and search rankings.

• Technical SEO issues like broken links, robots.txt misconfigurations, and improper use of canonical URLs.
• Difficulty in tracking SEO performance and identifying areas that need improvement.
