[Mika]

Technical SEO is s important as Off-Page SEO and On-Page SEO, but sadly a lot of people miss this vital SEO strategy. Doing Technical SEO can be as simple as improving your site speed to as complicated as checking Status Codes.

Here is a quick guide to what Technical SEO includes and how to do Technical SEO on your website for better ranking.

Loading Speed

Check whether your site is slow due to large HTML page

Check whether your site is slow due to redirects and loops

Check whether your site is slow due to uncompressed images

Check whether your site is slow due to the plugins, add ons, template, theme

Check whether your site is slow because of formatting

Check whether pages are missing or are inaccessible

Check whether there are broken or outdated pages

URL Structure

Check whether it is clean and free from irrelevant characters

Check whether it clearly explains what the page is about

Check whether there is a duplicate issue

Note: Sometimes slow loading of the site is also related to server issues, for example, 5xx issue is server related. If you are using shared hosting for a site that is receiving huge traffic, your site will not only be slow but also might be inaccessible to the visitors, which is a 4xx issue.

This is a brief yet gives all information related to technical SEO on a website. I am not an SEO expert, but I do SEO on my site. I do my own SEO not because I have all the skills, I do my own SEO because I cannot afford to hire an agency or a consultant. I learned by reading articles and doing it myself.
