Technical SEO covers everything that makes sure search engines can crawl, understand and index a website without problems. It is the foundation that lets content and backlinks deliver their full value.
Key areas
- Crawling: a clean robots.txt, an up to date XML sitemap and a sensible crawl budget
- Indexing: correct canonical tags, no unintended noindex pages and no duplicates
- Speed: good Core Web Vitals on mobile
- Structure: logical URLs, internal linking and correct 301 redirects
- Understanding: structured data and, for multilingual sites, correct hreflang tags
How do you check technical SEO?
Start with Google Search Console and its reports on indexing, page experience and errors. Crawlers such as Screaming Frog reveal broken links, redirect chains and missing tags. PageSpeed Insights shows loading performance.
