Technical SEO Audit
Every Infrastructure Issue Found and Prioritised
A deep-dive audit focused entirely on the technical foundation of your website. Crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals, security headers, redirect chains, canonical tags, robots.txt, XML sitemaps, structured data, and JavaScript rendering — 40 checks across 12 categories.
Every finding scored by severity and business impact. An AI-generated remediation plan tells your team what to fix first. Works the same for 20-page brochure sites or 20,000-page enterprise sites.

What the Technical Audit Covers
Crawlability & Indexation
Blocked resources, crawl traps, orphan pages, noindex conflicts, index bloat from parameter pages — every access issue identified
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint, and Cumulative Layout Shift assessed. Google's page experience signals directly affect rankings
Security & Trust
HTTPS, HSTS, Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options — the security headers that affect both user trust and search engine confidence
Redirects & Canonicals
301/302 chains, redirect loops, canonical conflicts, and unnecessary hops that waste crawl budget and dilute link equity
Site Architecture Graph
Internal link structure mapped with PageRank distribution. Crawl depth from homepage to deepest page measured. Orphan pages and bottlenecks identified
When a Technical Audit Delivers Maximum Value
Content and links won't save you if the technical foundation is broken.
- ✓ Rankings dropped and you don't know why — it could be crawlability issues, indexation errors, or security problems that aren't visible without a systematic technical check
- ✓ You've redesigned or migrated your site and need to know what broke — redirect chains, orphaned pages, canonical conflicts, and lost internal links
- ✓ Core Web Vitals are failing and you need a clear diagnosis of what's causing LCP, INP, or CLS issues — not just the scores but the specific elements responsible
- ✓ You're an agency and need a technical baseline before starting any SEO work — a clear picture of what's broken, what's working, and what to prioritise
What You Get in the Technical Report
Every technical factor checked systematically. Nothing missed, nothing inconsistent. The same depth whether it's 20 pages or 20,000.
40-Check Technical Report
Crawlability, indexation, canonicals, redirects, Core Web Vitals, security headers, mobile rendering, structured data, robots.txt, XML sitemaps, internal linking, and JavaScript rendering — every finding severity-scored.
Site Architecture Visualisation
Internal link graph with PageRank distribution. Crawl depth from homepage to deepest content measured. Orphan pages, dead-ends, and bottlenecks identified visually.
Core Web Vitals Assessment
LCP, INP, and CLS measured with specific elements identified as causes. Not just the scores — the actual reasons behind poor performance and what to change.

Full-Browser Technical Crawl
Crawl4AI launches Chromium, renders JavaScript, and captures every technical signal: HTTP status codes, redirect chains, canonical tags, meta robots, hreflang, structured data, page speed metrics, security headers.
40-Check Rule Engine
Every technical factor scored across 12 categories. Each check returns pass/fail/warning with severity weighting. Site architecture graph maps crawl depth, PageRank distribution, and orphan pages.

How I Deliver This
The technical audit pipeline is built in Python. Crawl4AI handles browser-based rendering in real Chromium — so JavaScript-rendered content, SPAs, and dynamic sites are captured accurately. The 40-check rule engine covers every technical factor a senior SEO would check manually: crawlability, indexation, canonicals, redirects, Core Web Vitals, security, mobile rendering, structured data, robots.txt, sitemaps, internal linking, and JavaScript handling. The site architecture layer builds a directed link graph with PageRank computation and orphan detection. What takes a senior SEO 4-8 hours runs in under 15 minutes — same depth, every time.
