READOUT · OVERVIEW

findwebhostings.com is a web hosting review and advice blog aimed at people picking a host: shared vs cloud vs VPS explainers, security checklists, a Bluehost review, a top-9 hosting roundup, and a cluster on green and sustainable hosting.

The sitemap shows 68 URLs, so content isn't the missing piece.

Our crawler could not load a single one of those 68 pages (every request returned a network error), which means bots hitting the site from outside get the same treatment Googlebot risks getting. The ranking picture explains the rest.

Six keywords in the top 100, zero on page 1, roughly $2/mo of organic traffic value, and rankings down 14.3% over the last six months. Four of the six are green hosting variants that all land on one URL and stall in the 60s and 70s.

That pattern (real content, real topical relevance, no positions) is a trust problem, not a writing problem. Nobody links to this domain, so nothing it publishes gets to compete against themeisle.com (22,358 ranked keywords) or techradar.com (1.7M).

Fix crawlability, then fix authority, then publish.

6 structural issues.

Read full assessment

Every one of the 68 page fetches returned a network error, so nothing about on-page quality can be verified from the outside. That is itself the headline result: an external crawler could not load a single URL, including the homepage. The technical receipts (0 noindex, 0 canonical issues, 0 duplicate titles) are computed from the 0 pages that returned HTTP 200, so they are empty by default, not clean bills of health.

What can be seen is thin. 74 sitemap URLs, almost all one-off informational posts about hosting basics, with 4 of them being Elementor header/footer template artifacts that should never have been in a sitemap. Our index shows 6 ranked keywords total, and the top 6 by volume all sit at position 55 to 77. Estimated traffic value across that head sample is 1.85, effectively zero commercial return. Newest content is 52 days old, so publishing has stalled. The one genuine strength is topical focus: the whole library sits inside web hosting, and the small ranking footprint clusters cleanly around green and sustainable hosting, a real sub-niche with lower competition than generic hosting terms.

Every page fetch failed: the site is unreachable to external crawlers

CRAWLABILITYCRITICAL

All 68 attempted page fetches returned a network error, homepage included. Zero pages returned HTTP 200. This is not a slow-server blip across a sample, it is total. The usual causes are an aggressive bot firewall or WAF rule blocking non-browser user agents, an expired or misconfigured TLS certificate, or DNS failing for the naked or www variant. Google's crawler is not exempt from firewall rules. When Googlebot gets connection errors repeatedly, crawl rate is throttled first, then affected URLs drop out of the index.

4 evidence points

·68 of 68 page fetches failed, all with status network-error
·0 pages returned HTTP 200 out of 68 fetched
·Homepage returned status X, 0 words, 0 links, no schema
·6 total ranked keywords across 74 sitemap URLs

The fix

1. Run a live URL inspection in Search Console on the homepage and three post URLs, and record whether the fetch fails or succeeds.

2. Check Search Console Settings, Crawl stats for a spike in host errors or DNS errors over the last 90 days.

3. Verify the TLS certificate is valid and not expired on both the apex domain and the www variant.

4. Confirm DNS records resolve for both variants and that one 301s to the other.

5. Ask the host whether the firewall or bot-protection layer is blocking non-browser user agents, and allowlist Googlebot and Bingbot by verified reverse DNS.

6. Test with a plain curl request using a generic user agent and confirm a 200 response before declaring it fixed.

7. Re-crawl the full sitemap once resolved and resubmit it in Search Console.

Elementor template pages are published in the sitemap

TECHNICAL SEOHIGH

The largest single URL bucket in the sitemap is /elementor-hf/ with 4 URLs. Those are Elementor header and footer builder templates, not content. They render as fragments of a page (a nav bar, a footer block) with no main body, no unique title intent and no reason for a search user to land on them. Submitting them in the XML sitemap tells Google these are canonical, index-worthy destinations. Google crawls them, finds near-empty documents, and folds that into its site-level quality assessment. On a 74-URL site, 4 template stubs are 5 percent of everything the crawler is being pointed at.

3 evidence points

·/elementor-hf/: 4 sitemap pages, 0 ranked keywords
·/elementor-hf/ is the single largest URL bucket of the 74 scanned
·74 URLs total, so template stubs are roughly 5 percent of the sitemap

The fix

1. In the SEO plugin's content-type settings, set the Elementor Library and Header/Footer post types to noindex and exclude them from the sitemap.

2. If the plugin offers it, mark those post types as not publicly queryable so the URLs 404 rather than render.

3. Regenerate the XML sitemap and confirm the /elementor-hf/ URLs are gone.

4. Request removal of the 4 URLs in Search Console if they are currently indexed.

5. Audit the sitemap for any other builder or attachment post types leaking in.

Every content section has pages and zero ranked keywords

OFFER VS RANKINGHIGH

The offer-vs-ranking matrix returns the same result on every prefix: /what-is-shared-hosting/ 1 page and 0 ranked keywords, /web-hosting-for-e-commerce/ 1 page and 0 ranked keywords, /choose-best-web-hosting-for-small-business/ 1 page and 0 ranked keywords, and so on down all 15 listed prefixes. The only URLs earning visibility are the green hosting cluster. In an affiliate-monetized niche, the commercial pages (small business hosting, WordPress hosting, e-commerce hosting) carry the revenue intent, and none of them rank for anything.

4 evidence points

·/choose-best-web-hosting-for-small-business/: 1 page, 0 ranked keywords
·/web-hosting-for-e-commerce/: 1 page, 0 ranked keywords
·/hosting-solution-for-your-wordpress-website/: 1 page, 0 ranked keywords
·All 15 listed URL prefixes show 0 ranked keywords

The fix

1. Group the 74 posts into 4 hubs matching the pillar plan: VPS hosting, WordPress hosting, cheap web hosting, and green hosting.

2. Build one hub page per pillar linking to every child post with descriptive anchors.

3. Add reciprocal links from each child post back to its hub and to two siblings.

4. Consolidate near-duplicate posts into one stronger URL each and 301 the loser.

5. Link the hubs from the main navigation so they sit one click from the homepage.

6. Re-measure ranked keywords per prefix after 90 days and prune anything still at zero.

Duplicate coverage of the same topics splits authority

CONTENT GAPMEDIUM

The sitemap carries multiple posts covering identical intent. Three on security: /security-features-web-hosting-provider/, /web-hosting-security-protecting-business-website/, and /the-importance-of-web-hosting-security-essential-measures-to-protect-your-online-presence/. Two on green hosting: /advantages-of-green-web-hosting/ and /green-web-hosting-guide/. Two on cloud: /what-you-need-to-know-about-cloud-hosting/ and /leverage-the-power-of-cloud-web-hosting/. When several URLs target the same query, Google picks one and usually picks badly, while internal links and any external links get split across the set.

4 evidence points

·Three separate web hosting security posts in the sitemap
·/advantages-of-green-web-hosting/ and /green-web-hosting-guide/ both target green hosting
·"green web hosting" pos 73 and "green website host" pos 77, same intent
·Two separate cloud hosting posts in the sitemap

The fix

1. Pick the stronger URL in each duplicate set, judged by existing rankings and inbound links.

2. Merge the unique sections of the weaker articles into the winner so nothing useful is lost.

3. 301 the retired URLs to the winner and remove them from the sitemap.

4. Update every internal link pointing at a retired URL to point at the winner directly, not through the redirect.

5. Start with the green hosting pair, since that cluster already ranks and has the most to gain.

Publishing has stopped and the archive is aging

SITE ARCHITECTUREMEDIUM

All 74 sitemap entries carry a lastmod, and the newest is 52 days old. Web hosting is a price-and-spec category where provider plans, pricing tiers and feature sets change quarterly. A hosting comparison article untouched for months is stating facts that may already be wrong, and Google weights freshness heavily for commercial comparison queries where the results page is dominated by continuously-updated publishers. TechRadar averages position 5 across 1.7 million keywords partly because their hosting reviews get re-checked and re-dated on a schedule. A dormant 74-page archive competing in that results page loses on recency before content quality is even assessed.

3 evidence points

·Newest content lastmod is 52 days old
·74 of 74 sitemap entries carry a lastmod
·TechRadar avg position 5.0 across 1,719,943 ranked keywords

The fix

1. Set a quarterly refresh cadence for the top 15 posts: verify pricing, plan names and feature claims against provider sites.

2. Update lastmod only when content genuinely changed, not on a blanket re-save.

3. Add a visible published and updated date to each article template.

4. Resume publishing against the pillar plan at a fixed weekly cadence.

5. Prioritize the green hosting cluster first, since it is the only area already ranking.

Authority gap against the competitor set is the binding constraint

COMPETITIVE POSITIONMEDIUM

The three organic competitors intersecting this site's keywords are Gizmodo (206,458 referring domains, 855,634 ranked keywords), TechRadar (155,640 referring domains, 174,537 keywords in the top 10) and Themeisle (142,951 referring domains). Against that, this site holds 6 ranked keywords and an estimated traffic value of 1.85 across its head sample. Positions 55 to 77 on low-volume terms is the signature of a domain with essentially no link equity: pages are relevant enough to be indexed and matched, but nowhere near trusted enough to be ranked. Publishing more articles into that gap does not close it.

4 evidence points

·Gizmodo: 206,458 referring domains, 855,634 ranked keywords
·TechRadar: 155,640 referring domains, 174,537 top-10 keywords
·This site: 6 ranked keywords, estimated traffic value 1.85
·All 6 head keywords sit at position 21+ (63 to 77)

The fix

1. Stop targeting head hosting terms where these competitors hold top-10 positions and no realistic link parity exists.

2. Concentrate new content on the green and sustainable hosting cluster where existing positions prove topical relevance.

3. Build one original data asset (a carbon-footprint and renewable-energy comparison across named hosting providers) as the linkable target.

4. Pitch that dataset to sustainability and web-development publications for citations.

5. Track referring domains monthly as the primary KPI, not article count.

Weak citation base

findwebhostings.com shows up in 6 AI Overview results, which proves the domain is at least known, but every competitor hit the 100-result ceiling on the same sample. Only 1 of 68 URLs uses a citation-friendly format (the top-9 roundup); the rest are definitional explainers, the exact pages AI answers replace rather than cite. Crawl failures across all 68 pages and a missing llms.txt mean retrieval systems may not be reading the site at all.

MISSING

1 of 68 URLs matches a best-of, comparison, alternatives, review or pricing pattern. The library is almost entirely definitional explainers, which answer engines summarize without citing.

WHAT TO FIX FOR AI ANSWERS

01high

Publish comparison and best-of pages, not more explainers

The keyword set hands you the formats: best web hosting small business (1,600/mo, KD 0), cheapest VPS hosting (5,400/mo, KD 23), bluehost hosting reviews (590/mo, KD 11). Ranked lists with visible criteria and price tables are what answer engines quote. Definitional posts get absorbed into the answer and send no click.

02high

Make the site readable to non-browser clients

Every one of the 68 fetches failed with a network error. Whatever blocks generic crawlers also blocks the retrieval bots behind AI answers. Check server logs for which user agents get dropped, allow-list the major ones, then re-verify with a plain curl.

03high

Give the homepage an explicit entity statement

State in the title, H1 and meta what the site is: independent web hosting reviews and comparisons for US small businesses and WordPress site owners. Add how many hosts you test and how you test them. That sentence is what a model reaches for when it needs to attribute a hosting claim.
