Understanding issue severity

Every issue Semantyx surfaces has a severity tag. Use it to prioritize.

The five tiers

• Critical — actively blocking Google from indexing or ranking the page. Example: a robots.txt Disallow rule on your homepage, or a noindex meta tag where you definitely want indexing.
• High — meaningful ranking impact. Example: missing meta description, duplicate title tags, broken canonical.
• Medium — best-practice violations that compound over time. Example: meta description outside the 140–160 char ideal range, missing schema markup, weak heading structure.
• Low — minor polish. Example: og:image dimension slightly off, lazy-load attribute missing on below-fold images.
• Notice — informational, not actionable. Example: we detected your domain age, here are the URLs we crawled.

How to prioritize

Fix Critical first, always. Then sweep through Highs in bulk (often a single PR can fix multiple Highs at once). Mediums and Lows are weekly maintenance.
