I asked ChatGPT to give 10 tips about on-page SEO . Here is the rewrite in my own tone:
1. Optimize Your Title Tags
Write unique, descriptive, and keyword-rich title tags for each page on your website. Keep the title of each page unique, as it tells search engines what your page is about. You don't want all of your pages having the same title confusing search engine they are the same.
There is no length limit of Title, but be aware browser and search engine will clip the display of title when it's too long.
You DO NOT want this:
2. Use Header Tags
Organize your content with header tags (H1, H2, H3, etc.) to structure your page. Use header tags appropriately can also highlight important keywords. The header structure makes your content more readable for users and easier for search engine to understand the content on your page.

3. Write meaningful, Keyword-Rich Meta Descriptions
Craft descriptive, informative meta descriptions that include your target keywords. This will help (1) search engine to understands an overview what your page is about, and (2) display a good description about your page on SERP, hence entice users to visit your page.
A good Meta Description is within 50-160 characters.
An example of a SERP result with Title, and Meta Description shown:

4. Optimize Your Content with Keywords
Use your target keywords naturally throughout your content, but avoid keyword stuffing. First, understand what keywords you are targeting for your page, and gear your content towards those keywords. Importantly, your content must be useful to your reader. Search engine penalizes heavily for meaningless, keyword stuffing content, stay away from those.
Aim for a keyword density of 1-2% to ensure your content reads smoothly and doesn't appear spammy.
5. Use Alt Text for Images
Add descriptive alt text to your images, inject your target keywords where possible. This will help search engines understand the content of your images and improve your page's accessibility.
6. Internal Linking
Use internal linking to connect relevant pages on your website and help search engines understand your site's structure. Internal linking is the links among pages within your own site.
Easy navigation among internal links will also improve user experience and increase engagement as users navigate your site.
The more internal backlinks to a specific page, the more important that page appears to search engine. Internal linking is within your control, use that advantage. For instance, in PasteFree.net if you want to emphasize on Recent Post page https://pastefree.net/posts , make sure your have plenty of internal links pointing back to this page across other pages within your site.

7. Optimize Your URL Structure
Use descriptive, and, wherever possible, keyword-rich, URLs for each page on your website. URL slug is used by search engine to "guess" the content of your page.
Avoid using numbers or special characters, these characters confuse the search engine, keep your URLs concise and easy to read.
Example of a good URL: https://www.semrush.com/blog/what-is-a-url-slug/
The slug what-is-a-url-slug suggests the page is about discussing what a url slug is. This slug also targets keyword "url slug", which you can find appearing plenty of times within the page content.
8. Content Quality and Length
Create high-quality, and informative content that brings value to your users.
Aim for a content length of at least 500 words, prioritize quality over quantity. Think of the reader first.
9. Mobile-Friendliness
Ensure your website is mobile-friendly and responsive. Test your website on different devices to ensure it provides a good user experience.
10. Page Speed Optimization
Optimize your page speed by compressing images, minifying code, and leveraging browser caching.
Aim for a page load time of under 3 seconds to improve user experience and search engine rankings.
