I run a Chrome extension that will crawl your site and give on-page/technical SEO suggestions: https://www.checkbot.io/ https://www.checkbot.io/.
The SEO best practices it checks for are explained + justified in a simple fashion here: https://www.checkbot.io/guide/seo/ https://www.checkbot.io/guide/seo/
I know a lot of developers are skeptical about SEO advice (e.g. keyword density stuff, experiments that try to reverse engineer how Google does ranking), but the rules from the guide above are linked to things Google have directly recommended. Most on-page SEO best practices align with what would benefit a regular user also.

Because good SEO is indistinguishable from good UX. :) The best SEO advice you can give someone is "make the page easy for a blind person to read". Just doing that one thing will get you about 99% of the way there.
- seanwilson 6y ago> The best SEO advice you can give someone is "make the page easy for a blind person to read". Yep, makes sense when you consider most search bots "see" webpages in the same way a screen reader will. Anything that helps a screen reader understand the content of a page better is going to help a search bot and vice versa - they're both bots. :)
