Technical SEO Foundations Every Site Needs

Technical SEO is the foundation everything else is built on. Without a crawlable, indexable, fast site, even the best content strategy will underperform.

Start with crawlability

Before anything else, confirm search engines can actually reach your important pages. Check your robots.txt, XML sitemap, and internal linking structure.

Then fix indexation

Duplicate content, thin pages, and inconsistent canonicalization all waste crawl budget and dilute ranking signals.

Finally, optimize speed

Core Web Vitals are a ranking factor and, more importantly, a user experience factor. Prioritize LCP, CLS, and INP improvements.
