Key elements in our technical SEO audits

Page speed Performance

If your website is too slow, it can lead to a frustrating experience for users, resulting in reduced engagement and potential loss of traffic. Slow loading pages can cause users to lose interest and move on to other sites. Additionally, search engine crawlers may consider slow pages less important and choose not to rank them, further impacting your website's visibility.

Core Web Vitals

Core Web Vitals are critical components of a technical SEO audit that measure the user experience of your website. These vitals consist of various metrics, including Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Input Delay (FID), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS). By monitoring and improving these metrics, you can enhance your website's ranking on search engine results pages, making it more visible to potential visitors.

Mobile-friendliness

With the rise of smartphones people are increasingly using them for searching the web. Google's mobile-first approach to indexing means that websites that are mobile-friendly tend to receive higher rankings in search results. As a result, it's crucial to have a mobile-friendly site to improve your chances of being found and ranked by Google.

Information Architecture

Effective Information Architecture ensures that your content is easily accessible through navigation or internal linking across your website. Failure to do so can result in missed opportunities for users and crawlers to discover your content. By prioritizing and prominently featuring your most important content, you increase its visibility and relevance to both users and search engine crawlers.

Structured Data

Structured Data enables you to speak to search engines in a language they understand. By implementing structured data, you help search engines to comprehend your web pages. This can potentially earn you additional SERP (Search Engine Results Page) features, such as review stars, prices, and featured snippets. These can be the deciding factor for users when selecting from their curated organic listings. By leveraging structured data, you can improve your website's visibility and attract more traffic to your site.
