Why Audit?
A Ferrari with a flat tire won't win a race. Technical SEO ensures your "car" (website) is mechanically sound.
The 10-Point Audit
- Robots.txt: Are you blocking Google accidentally?
- Sitemap.xml: Is it submitted to Search Console?
- Indexing: Search
site:yourdomain.com. Do pages appear? - HTTPS: Is the padlock secure? Mixed content warnings?
- Page Speed: Are LCP/CLS metrics green?
- Mobile Friendly: Pass the Google Mobile test?
- Broken Links: Use "Check My Links" extension to find 404s.
- Duplicate Content: Canonical tags properly set?
- URL Structure: No weird parameters (
?id=123). - Schema: Rich snippets working?
Tools You Need
- Google Search Console (Free & Mandatory)
- Screaming Frog (Free up to 500 URLs) - Best crawler.
- PageSpeed Insights (Free)
