Review HTTP status codes, redirects, robots directives and canonical tags. Duplicate paths and redirect chains can make it harder to maintain a clear preferred URL. Prioritize errors affecting important service or product pages before polishing lower-value archives.
JavaScript-heavy websites need special attention: critical content and internal links should be available in rendered HTML without relying on fragile interactions. Check structured data against visible content and validate mobile rendering. Core Web Vitals provide useful measures of loading, responsiveness and layout stability, but they are only one part of technical quality.
An audit should explain each issue, show evidence, identify affected templates and rank fixes by likely impact and implementation effort. Retest after deployment and monitor search performance rather than assuming that a successful build resolves every indexing problem.
