Technical SEO ensures search engines can crawl, render and index your site correctly. Without it, even great content can go unseen.
Why it matters
- A clean sitemap and robots.txt help search engines find and prioritize pages.
- Slow-loading pages hurt both rankings and conversions.
- Mobile-friendliness is now a baseline requirement, not a bonus.
- Duplicate content and broken links waste crawl budget.
How to get started
- Submit an XML sitemap and check it for errors regularly.
- Fix broken links and redirect chains.
- Compress images and defer non-essential scripts.
- Test your site on mobile devices, not just desktop.
