The 5 Critical Foundations
The same five checks Stefanie runs first on every client project, in one printable checklist.
Inside the checklist
- Image sizes, formats, and compression to verify
- Canvas, SEO, and mobile settings that matter
- Performance quick wins, ranked by payoff
Even a beautiful Showit site is usually still underperforming
Showit makes it easy to build a site that looks exactly the way you want. What it cannot do is tell you whether the foundations underneath are set up correctly.
Oversized images. Shared elements rebuilt on every page instead of propagating from one canvas. Missing title tags. Mobile layouts scaled down from desktop instead of built for mobile. None of it is visible on the design canvas, and all of it affects how fast your site loads, how it ranks, and how it feels to use.
Most Showit SEO problems are not the fault of the design builder. They are foundational & technical settings no one even knew to check.
Ten minutes to a clear picture of where your site stands
The checklist walks you through the five areas that matter most, one specific check at a time. Each item shows you what to verify and what the correct setting looks like, so you are not guessing. When you finish, you will know:
- Whether your images are sized, formatted, and compressed correctly for web, or quietly slowing every page they sit on.
- Whether your headers, footers, and navigation propagate from a single canvas, or you are maintaining the same element on every page.
- Whether every page has a unique title tag, a logical heading hierarchy, and a sitemap submitted to Google Search Console.
- Whether your mobile site meets the minimums Google evaluates for mobile-first indexing.
- Which hidden elements, unused scripts, and font-loading settings are costing you speed, and the quick fixes with the biggest payoff.
Your Showit site does not need a redesign. It needs its foundations checked.
The SEO Ready™ 5 Critical Foundations Checklist
Five areas. The specific checks that matter.
Built for Showit + WordPress site owners who want to know where their site stands, whether you built the site yourself or had a designer build it for you.
The right sizes, formats, and settings
Are your images sized correctly for web? Are you using the right export format and compression settings? Are hero, portfolio, and mobile images each sized for their specific context? The checklist shows you what to verify and what the correct settings look like.
Edit once, update everywhere
How are your shared elements configured? Are you editing the same header, footer, and navigation on every page, or do changes propagate from a single canvas? The checklist covers the canvas setup that reduces your maintenance workload.
The basics most Showit sites miss
Does every page have a unique title tag and meta description? Is your heading hierarchy logical, one H1, then H2s, then H3s? Are your sitemaps submitted to Google Search Console? The checklist verifies the SEO basics most Showit sites are missing.
What Google actually evaluates
Are your touch targets large enough? Are your fonts readable on mobile without zooming? Are your mobile images sized for mobile, not just scaled down from desktop? The checklist covers the specific settings Google evaluates for mobile-first indexing.
The fixes with the biggest payoff
Are there hidden elements loading in the background? Are unused scripts slowing your site down? Is your font loading configured to prevent layout shift? The checklist identifies the quick fixes that produce the biggest speed improvement.

That is exactly who it is written for. Every item is a plain-language check with the correct setting spelled out. If you can click through your own Showit dashboard, you can run the whole checklist.
My designer built my site. Does this still apply?

What if the checklist shows me problems?
Then you have found them, which is the point. Many of the fixes are settings you can change yourself the same day. For the rest, you will know exactly what to fix and in what order, whether you do it yourself or have it handled in a Morris & Co VIP Day.
