A Practical Guide to Running a Technical SEO Audit

A Practical Guide to Running a Technical SEO Audit — Full Article

Start with Crawlability and Indexation

Before anything else, confirm search engines can actually reach your pages. Check your robots.txt, XML sitemap, and canonical tags for conflicts that accidentally block or duplicate important pages.

Audit Site Speed and Core Web Vitals

Slow-loading pages hurt both rankings and conversions. Measure Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint, and Cumulative Layout Shift, then prioritize fixes that affect your highest-traffic pages first.

Check Mobile Usability

With mobile-first indexing, the mobile version of your site is what search engines actually evaluate. Test tap targets, font sizes, and layout stability on real devices, not just browser emulators.

Validate Structured Data

Use structured data testing tools to confirm your JSON-LD markup is valid and matches the visible content on the page. Invalid markup can be ignored entirely or, worse, trigger manual review.

Review Internal Linking

Internal links distribute authority across your site and help search engines understand which pages matter most. Make sure your most important pages aren't buried more than a few clicks from your homepage.
