CodeIgniter SEO Audit & System Path Review
CodeIgniter installations frequently leak index.php query routes, leading to search indexing fragmentation. WebKernelAI evaluates your app configuration.
This audit runs comprehensive crawl diagnostics targeting site speed, indexation, response codes, and canonical setup.
Common SEO Failure Points
Critical configuration bottlenecks that plague typical implementations.
Index.php URL Duplication
URLs accessible with and without /index.php/ in the path, leading to duplicate content.
Rigid Global Configurations Meta
Global meta keywords and descriptions appended to page layouts automatically.
Junk System Paths Crawled
Search bots crawling system and application folders due to missing robots.txt rules.
Duplicate Router Alias Paths
Mapping a single controller to multiple routing structures creates unique URLs.
Heavy Database Query Payload
Unoptimized active record queries slowing down server response times.

Platform Q&As
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear technical answers to common crawling and rendering questions.
Set indexPage to '' inside App.php and configure .htaccess rewriting.
Older setups lacked strict disallow paths for system/ and application/ directories.
Use canonical helpers and redirect routing aliases to a single target URL.
Write custom helper files to output structured JSON-LD templates dynamically.
It saves database query results as text files on the server to speed up load times.
Heavy controllers and unoptimized database queries are typical culprits.
Ensure controllers pass unique metadata parameters to active views.
It has the necessary tools, but duplicate path aliasing and index.php leaks require technical review.
