What Is Technical Search Engine Optimisation?

Technical SEO is the practice of optimizing a website’s infrastructure so search engines can efficiently crawl, index, and understand your content. It focuses on how your site is built rather than what’s on the page. The audit evaluates SEO-critical signals that influence indexing, interpretation by search engines, and visibility in both traditional and generative search results.
  1. Website Crawlability

    Ensures search engine bots can access your pages. Involves optimizing:
    • robots.txt
    • XML sitemaps
    • URL structure
  2. Indexing

    Making sure search engines store your pages correctly in their index. Prevent accidental “noindex” tags or duplicate content issues.
  3. Site Speed & Performance

    Faster sites rank better and reduce bounce rates. Involves:
    • Image compression
    • Caching
    • Minimizing CSS/JS
    • Using CDNs
  4. Mobile Optimization

    Google uses mobile-first indexing. Ensures the site works smoothly on mobile devices.
  5. Security

    HTTPS encryption is a ranking factor. Prevents browser warnings that hurt trust and traffic.
  6. Structured Data (Schema Markup)

    Helps search engines understand content more clearly. Enables rich results (e.g., star ratings, FAQs, recipes).
  7. Site Architecture

    A clean, logical structure improves crawling and UX. Includes internal linking and using breadcrumbs.
  8. Canonicalization

    Prevents duplicate content by telling Google which version to index.
This tool only analyses the contents of the <head> section of a publicly accessible webpage.
The audit focuses on SEO-critical signals that influence indexing, interpretation by search engines, and visibility
in both traditional and generative search results.

Areas analysed include:

  • Meta titles and meta descriptions
  • Indexing and canonicalization
  • Structured data and entity definitions
  • Social metadata and international targeting signals

This tool intentionally avoids areas outside the <head> to keep results precise and actionable. It does not analyse:

  • Page body content or layout
  • Footer or navigation elements
  • JavaScript execution or rendered DOM
  • Performance, Core Web Vitals, or security headers
  • Rankings, backlinks, traffic, or analytics data
No. This tool only analyses your header and provides recommendations. It does not modify or inject any code.
To ensure fair access and reliable performance, the following limits apply:
  • Request limit:
    The tool might stop working if there is a lot of traffic
  • Public access required:
    The page must be publicly accessible on the web
  • Valid head required:
    The page must contain a proper <head> tag

If a page cannot be fetched or does not include a valid head element, the tool will display a clear error message explaining the issue.

The audit requires direct access to raw HTML. Errors may occur if:

  • The page is not publicly accessible
  • The server blocks non-browser user agents
  • A WAF, bot-detection system, or rate limiter blocks the request
  • The page requires authentication, cookies, or a session
  • The server returns incomplete HTML

If the page cannot be fetched or parsed, the tool displays a clear error message explaining why.

No content is stored long-term. URLs are processed temporarily to generate the analysis and then discarded.

This tool uses GPT-5-nano.

No. The page must be publicly accessible so the tool can retrieve its HTML.

This tool is especially useful for:

  • SEO professionals auditing technical fundamentals
  • Developers optimizing semantic and head-level markup
  • Agencies performing fast pre-audit reviews
  • Content teams improving SERP and social appearance
  • Site owners looking for clear, actionable fixes without complexity
