Have you just registered for a Ryte account, and now you’re wondering where to start with this comprehensive software? Read on for some useful insights about what you should do first.

This is where you configure the settings of your crawl. You can decide how many URLs you want to analyze, how fast the analysis should be, and what should be analyzed, for example whether the crawler should obey your robots.txt file.

You can also set up monthly crawls automatically, which we recommend. Click on "schedule" at the bottom left hand corner and choose monthly.
If you have a free account, you can carry out 1 crawl per month, and with all other accounts you have unlimited crawls.

The next step is to look at the results of your crawl on your dashboard – here, the results are presented in an easy overview. You can derive optimization measures, and most importantly, you can see on the dashboard if any aspect of your website needs urgent attention.

The dashboard contains a lot of information, so let’s break it down:
This section in the top right-hand corner of the dashboard shows details regarding your website health. If you see a warning sign (yellow triangle with exclamation mark) or a red cross, this means you need to look at something in more detail. If you see any problems with your website health, that is where you should start.
Firstly, you can see whether your website was completely analyzed or not. If you don’t see a tick here, you should try and find out why. There are many reasons why your site may not have been completely crawled – for example, if you have a free account, a maximum of 100 URLs will be crawled. Or, if you’ve instructed the crawler to obey the robots.txt, some URLs won’t be crawled for this reason. Read on below in the section "RYTE Website Success" for troubleshooting this problem.
In the center of the dashboard, the KPIs critical errors and OnPage Score are shown. When you combine your Ryte account with your Google Search Console data (more information on this below), you will also see your indexed pages, impressions, clicks, and real google visibility. After a crawl, you can see whether the values have decreased or increased since the last crawl.
The next step is to look into the tools RYTE Website Success, RYTE Search Success and RYTE Content Success, and utilize the reports in these modules to find further optimization measures.
RYTE Website Success helps you create a technically perfect website for users and search engines. Your data is shown in a clear overview, and flexible filtering means you can customize reports based on your individual needs.
When going into the tool, look at the menu on the left-hand side to see the available reports.
