I'm unhappy with PageSpeed Insights because I need more actionable SEO fixes

That’s a fair complaint. PageSpeed Insights is useful for performance, but it’s not a great SEO audit tool if you want specific, actionable fixes.
If you want more useful SEO guidance, you’ll usually get better results from tools that focus on:
-
Technical SEO
- crawl errors
- indexability
- canonical issues
- redirects
- broken links
- duplicate content
- sitemap/robots problems
-
On-page SEO
- title tags
- meta descriptions
- heading structure
- internal linking
- missing alt text
- thin content
-
Search visibility
- keyword targeting
- pages ranking for the wrong terms
- pages cannibalizing each other
- CTR opportunities from Search Console data
Better alternatives depending on what you need
If you want actionable audits:
- Screaming Frog SEO Spider — excellent for technical on-site checks
- Sitebulb — very good at turning crawl data into recommendations
- Ahrefs Site Audit — strong for technical + content SEO
- Semrush Site Audit — broad SEO issue detection with prioritization
If you want Google-native data:
- Google Search Console — best for indexing, queries, CTR, and pages that need improvement
If you want content optimization:
- Surfer SEO
- Clearscope
- Frase
Practical recommendation
If your goal is “tell me exactly what to fix,” use this combo:
- Google Search Console for search performance problems
- Screaming Frog or Sitebulb for technical site issues
- Ahrefs or Semrush for prioritizing opportunities
- PageSpeed Insights only for performance/core web vitals
