WWW Resolve

Great, a redirect is in place to redirect traffic from your non-preferred domain.

Redirecting requests from a non-preferred domain is important because search engines consider URLs with and without "www" as two different websites.

IP Canonicalization

No your domain IP 146.159.94.148 does not redirect to swissinfo.org

To check this for your website, enter your IP address in the browser and see if your site loads with the IP address.
Ideally, the IP should redirect to your website's URL or to a page from your website hosting provider.
If it does not redirect, you should do an htaccess 301 redirect to make sure the IP does not get indexed.

XML Sitemap

Oh no, XML Sitemap file not found!
http://swissinfo.org/sitemap.xml

A sitemap lists URLs that are available for crawling and can include additional information like your site's latest updates, frequency of changes and importance of the URLs. This allows search engines to crawl the site more intelligently.
We recommend that you generate an XML sitemap for your website and submit it to both Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. It is also good practice to specify your sitemap's location in your robots.txt file.

Robots.txt

Good, you have Robots.txt file!
http://swissinfo.org/robots.txt

A robots.txt file allows you to restrict the access of search engine robots that crawl the web and it can prevent these robots from accessing specific directories and pages. It also specifies where the XML sitemap file is located.
You can check for errors in your robots.txt file using Google Search Console (formerly Webmaster Tools) by selecting 'Robots.txt Tester' under 'Crawl'. This also allows you to test individual pages to make sure that Googlebot has the appropriate access.

URL Rewrite

Good, all URLs look clean and friendly

Your site's URLs contain unnecessary elements that make them look complicated.
A URL must be easy to read and remember for users. Search engines need URLs to be clean and include your page's most important keywords.
Clean URLs are also useful when shared on social media as they explain the page's content.

Underscores in the URLs

Oh no, you are using underscores (these_are_underscores) in your URLs

Great, you are not using ?underscores (these_are_underscores) in your URLs.
While Google treats hyphens as word separators, it does not for underscores.

Embedded Objects

Embedded Objects such as Flash. It should only be used for specific enhancements.

Avoid full Flash websites to maximize SEO.

Avoid frames whenever possible and use a NoFrames tag if you must use them.

Favicons improve a brand's visibility.

While there's no exact limit to the number of links you should include on a page, best practice is to avoid exceeding 200 links.
Links pass value from one page to another, but the amount of value that can be passed is split between all of the links on a page. This means that adding unnecessary links will dilute the potential value attributed to your other links.
Using the Nofollow attribute prevents value from being passed to the linking page, but it's worth noting that these links are still taken into account when calculating the value that is passed through each link, so Nofollow links can also dilute pagerank.
