Technical SEO covers how easily search engines can crawl, index, and understand your site — including site speed, mobile-friendliness, structured data, and secure HTTPS setup. Even great content can underperform if technical issues prevent Google from properly accessing or ranking the page.
Frequent problems include slow page load times, missing or duplicate meta descriptions, broken internal links, unoptimised images, and poor mobile responsiveness. Many of these are quick to fix once identified but quietly cap ranking potential when left unaddressed for months or years.
Most UK SMEs benefit from a full audit at least every 6 months, plus after any major website change such as a redesign, CMS migration, or new plugin installation. Search engine algorithms and site content both change over time, so a one-off audit loses relevance.
Yes — page speed and Core Web Vitals are confirmed Google ranking factors, and slow sites also suffer higher bounce rates, which compounds the ranking impact. This scorer checks speed alongside crawlability and on-page factors to give a full picture of technical health.
