Learn how to identify and fix technical SEO issues including page speed, mobile usability, crawlability, indexation, and Core Web Vitals.
Technical SEO refers to the optimization of a website's technical aspects to improve search engine crawling and indexing. Even if your content is excellent, technical issues can prevent it from ranking.
Page Speed is critical. Google uses Core Web Vitals as ranking factors: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Input Delay (FID), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS). Use our Page Speed Checker to measure your scores.
Mobile Friendliness: Google uses mobile-first indexing, meaning it primarily uses the mobile version of your site for indexing and ranking. Use our Mobile Friendly Test to check your site.
Crawlability: Ensure search engine bots can access your important pages. Check your robots.txt file with our Robots.txt Checker and verify it's not accidentally blocking important content.
HTTPS: All websites should use HTTPS. Google uses HTTPS as a ranking signal. Check your SSL certificate status with our free SSL Checker.
XML Sitemap: Maintain an up-to-date XML sitemap and submit it to Google Search Console. Generate one with our free XML Sitemap Generator.
Structured Data: Implement schema markup to help search engines understand your content and potentially earn rich results in SERPs.
