    Hey! Just tried it, and it says "5/10 meta keywords", what does this mean? Also, how is your product different from all those SEO audits out there?
    John Lins
    @igorpavlov It means that your website only has 5 keywords, but the recommended amount is 10. Not that it's super necessarily, only a small handful of search engines actually look at meta keywords these days (they care more about meta description, open graph tags, and alt tags). Regarding your other question, there is nothing particularly special about the Loyae diagnostic tool (besides the fact that it looks really sleek and can be used without a login). Loyae, as a startup, is not about doing SEO audits, it's about actually resolving all the technical SEO issues on your site automatically. It does this by integrating directly into your CMS and it used a variety of machine learning models to generate meta data and alt text based on the content and images on your site. This service is not available yet, it is almost done and will be released in July. Those on the waitlist will get access to it first and get free a $5 credit. The first CMS it will be released on is WordPress.

    @johnlins I see, thank you for the comprehensive response!

    Upvoted, good luck @johnlins ! Did I read your blog correctly, you built your own model rather than wrapping one of the more "famous" models? Are you worried about your compute costs with a free product?
    John Lins
    @michael_cho1 Not quite, the base model for meta tag generation is a pretrained text-to-text transfer transformer that I'm fine-tuning and adding a post processing layer. The alt text generator is a mesh of two small models I made from scratch plus a modified version of an already-built vision transformer (I built a post processing layer for that one too for more context awareness) ^The post processing layer isn't tremendously advanced, just some clever manipulates of output word embeddings. Regarding the compute costs, only the diagnostic tool is free, not the actual Integration (which comes out in July for those on the waitlist)

    Looks like a complex project to take on solo! How did you keep yourself motivated through each task?
    John Lins
    @aaronoleary Great question! This might sound crazy, but I've been working on this project for 3 years on-and-off. Most of that time was not actually writing code, but mostly planning and learning a lot about machine learning. My tasks were divided into 3 categories: frontend, backend, ML and I worked on each part independently of the other (this keep me organized) I've had to be mostly self motivated for this project, every time I made a little progress, I had to reward myself.

    @hosseinyazdi Thanks! Great to see another ML dev.
    Upvoted! Congrats!✌️

    Update: I just updated Loyae to scan more pages. If you used the diagnostic and it didn't scan that many pages, I encourage you to run it again!
