We audit dozens of websites a year, and the same technical issues appear again and again. None of them are glamorous. All of them quietly cap your organic growth.
Crawlability and indexation
Make sure important pages are linked internally, listed in your XML sitemap and not blocked by robots rules or stray noindex tags. Orphaned pages rarely rank.
One URL per page
Trailing slashes, query parameters and http/https variants can split ranking signals across duplicates. Pick a canonical format, redirect everything else and declare canonicals explicitly.
Speed is a ranking and conversion factor
- Serve modern image formats at the right size.
- Defer non-critical JavaScript.
- Preconnect to font and API origins.
- Cache aggressively at the edge.
Structured data
Organization, article, breadcrumb and FAQ schema help search engines — and AI answer engines — understand who you are and what each page is about. It takes an afternoon and keeps paying off.
Technical SEO does not make you rank. It removes the reasons you would not.
