Title & Meta Description 22/100

✕

The title is the blue link in Google results and a strong ranking signal.
Add a unique, descriptive <title> of about 50–60 characters that includes your keyword.
!
Meta description (162 characters)
“Travel Management · Designated Website/Direct Pay: Travelers register and make payments online. · Complete Itinerary planning: Every detail is planned to meet ...” — Will probably be truncated in results.

Split the content into sections with <h2> subheadings (use keyword variations in some).
!
Heading levels skip
H1 → H3, H3 → H5, H4 → H6 — minor, but a tidy outline helps accessibility and structure.
Nest headings in order (H2 under H1, H3 under H2…).

Images 21/100

✕
2 of 15 images are missing alt text
Google can't "see" images; alt text is how it knows what they show.
Add descriptive alt text to every meaningful image (see the list below).
i
4 images have empty alt=""
Empty alt is correct for purely decorative images, but not for product photos, diagrams, etc.
!
14 images lack width/height attributes
Missing dimensions cause layout shift (CLS), a Core Web Vitals metric.
Set width and height attributes on <img> tags.
!
No images are lazy-loaded
Lazy-loading below-the-fold images speeds up the initial load.
Add loading="lazy" to images below the fold (not the main hero image).
!
No modern image formats (WebP/AVIF)
14 JPG/PNG/GIF images found. Modern formats are 25–50% smaller.
Serve WebP or AVIF versions (most image/cache plugins or CDNs do this automatically).

Structured Data (Schema) 10/100

✕
No structured data (schema markup)
Schema helps Google understand the page and can earn rich results (stars, FAQs, breadcrumbs, prices…).
Add JSON-LD schema — at minimum Organization/LocalBusiness + WebSite on the homepage, and BreadcrumbList + the matching type (Article, Product, Service…) on inner pages.
!
No BreadcrumbList schema
Breadcrumb schema replaces the ugly URL in results with a clean path.
Add BreadcrumbList JSON-LD (most SEO plugins can switch this on).

Scores are a checklist guide, not Google's algorithm. Backlinks, brand signals and content quality matter hugely and can't be seen from one page.
