Also check your webpages' Google cache to ensure the search engine finds exactly the same thing the Internet visitor discovers when showing up at your pages. Often you can have sloppy code that restricts a complete crawl.

Another aspect of optimizing your site design is to have a solid internal navigation system. Make sure your web pages are deeply inter-connected.

To endure SEO friendly site design make sure,
-Page loading speed should not be more than 4 sec.

@Avinsh 1 bro, i think you are awaking the old death thread.

I would definitely take a look at Google's Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide and the Beginner Guide to SEO from MOZ. Even thought you may be well past the beginner's steps it's always a nice refresher from time to time.

Ultimately you'll need to get into the head of your user. Google has even stated that you shouldn't be developing websites for search engines, you should be building them for your users.

So ask yourself questions like, "Does my audience use mobile devices more than desktop devices?" and / or "What is the attention span of my average user? Are they more likely to watch a video or read an article?"

Read google guidelines and follow them strictly otherwise your site can be penalized.
