Content and links get most of the attention in SEO conversations, but technical issues routinely undermine both. A website with excellent content and a good backlink profile can still rank poorly if Google can't efficiently crawl and index its pages, if it loads slowly on mobile, or if there are crawl errors and duplicate content issues being overlooked.
Crawlability and Indexability
Google discovers your pages by crawling them. If your robots.txt file accidentally blocks important pages, if your sitemap is outdated, if important pages have no-index tags, or if your internal linking structure creates orphaned pages with no path from the homepage — Google may not be finding and indexing the content you want ranked. A crawl audit with Screaming Frog or a similar tool is the right starting point for any technical SEO engagement.
Core Web Vitals
Google uses Core Web Vitals — Largest Contentful Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift, and Interaction to Next Paint — as ranking signals. These measure how the page feels to use: does the main content appear quickly, does the page jump around as it loads, does it respond quickly to user interaction? For most business websites, LCP (how long the main content takes to appear) is the most common failure point, usually caused by large unoptimised images or render-blocking scripts.
Mobile Experience
Google indexes the mobile version of your website. If your mobile experience has issues — overlapping elements, text too small to read without zooming, buttons too close together to tap accurately — these signal quality problems that affect rankings as well as user experience.
HTTPS and Security
HTTPS is a baseline requirement. HTTP sites are flagged as 'Not Secure' by Chrome, which damages visitor trust and conversion rates. Beyond HTTPS, proper redirect chains (no chains of redirects), clean canonical tag implementation, and correct hreflang setup (if you serve multiple languages or regions) all contribute to a technically healthy site.
