About Website Audit

A website audit is the health check every site needs before pouring effort into content and links. It surfaces the technical and on-page issues quietly capping your rankings — broken links, crawl blocks, duplicate titles, missing schema, slow pages and indexing problems — and turns them into a prioritised to-do list.

The guides here walk through how to run and read an audit: interpreting crawl errors and status codes, improving Core Web Vitals and page speed, fixing on-page basics at scale, keeping the right pages indexable, and knowing which fixes actually move rankings versus which are safe to leave for later.
