What we check
8 things every technical audit covers.
The plumbing that determines whether your content actually ranks.
Page speed
Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) measured on real devices. Most trade sites have a 4-6s LCP — Google wants under 2.5s.
Mobile usability
Tested across iPhone SE, Pixel, iPad. Buttons tappable? Text readable without zoom? Google uses mobile-first indexing.
Schema markup
LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList. Missing schema = no rich results in Google.
Broken links
404s, 500s, redirect chains. Each one is a dead-end for Google and a frustration for visitors.
Crawl and indexing
robots.txt, sitemap.xml, canonical tags, noindex where it should not be. Google may be ignoring your best pages.
HTTPS and security
SSL certificate, mixed content warnings, HSTS. Without HTTPS you are invisible in modern browsers.
Image optimisation
WebP, AVIF, srcset, lazy loading, alt text. Images are usually 60-80% of page weight on a trade site.
Structured data validation
Schema.org validation. Errors here mean Google silently ignores your markup.
