Understand what blocks discovery

Technical Audit organizes website findings into a clearer health picture. Review crawl access, indexability, metadata, links, performance, mobile readiness, and answer-readiness findings where available. A crawl describes what the scanner could reach at that time.

Turn findings into a repair plan

  1. 1

    Confirm the scope

    Check the project domain and the pages included in the crawl. Review crawl status before relying on an incomplete result.

  2. 2

    Inspect affected pages

    Open the issue context and review the relevant pages. Distinguish an intended configuration from a genuine blocker.

  3. 3

    Fix, then verify

    Prioritize access and indexing problems before smaller refinements. Apply approved changes through your website workflow, then run the relevant check again.

Interpret health scores carefully

  • A healthy crawl does not mean a search engine has indexed every page or will cite it.
  • Authentication, robots rules, rate limits, and temporary failures can limit scan coverage.
  • Do not remove intentional noindex rules, redirects, or access controls simply to increase a score.
  • Where repository investigation or fixes are available, review the proposed change and its permissions before approval. A recommendation is not a completed deployment.

A little guidance goes a long way.
