What the checklist covers

The 32 points are split into eight steps, in the order an audit is carried out:

Step	What you check
1. Before you start	Access gathered, site history, no manual action, staging site not indexed
2. Crawling	robots.txt, blocked resources, crawl errors
3. Indexing	Gap between crawled and indexed pages, canonicals, sitemap
4. Architecture and internal linking	Click depth, orphan pages, breadcrumbs
5. HTTP codes and redirects	4xx and 5xx errors, 302 redirects, redirect chains
6. Performance	LCP, INP and CLS at the 75th percentile, image weight
7. JavaScript rendering and mobile	Content present in the raw HTML, mobile and desktop parity
8. Reporting	Findings backed by data, prioritized actions, roadmap

The performance thresholds are the ones Google publishes on web.dev, “Web Vitals” page, accessed on September 24, 2026. A page is rated good with an LCP of 2.5 s or less, an INP of 200 ms or less and a CLS of 0.1 or less. These values are read at the 75th percentile of page loads.

How do you use it?

1. Print or open the PDF next to Search Console and your crawler.
2. Tick each point, noting the data that proves it: export, screenshot, date.
3. Rank the non-compliant points by impact and effort, with the grid from the last step.
4. Refer to the guide for each point that raises a question.

The full method, point by point, is detailed in the technical SEO audit guide. To place the technical audit among the other audits (content, link building, semantic), read the SEO audit guide.
