🧠 Why SEO Audits Matter
An SEO audit helps you:
Check website performance and speed
Identify technical issues that prevent indexing
Improve on-page SEO (titles, headings, meta descriptions)
Find content gaps and opportunities
Ensure mobile usability and security
Think of it as a health check for your website.
🟦 Step 1: Check Website Speed and Performance

Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FID)
Tip: Hosting with JumboNIC ensures fast server response and reliable uptime, helping your site score better in speed audits.
🟩 Step 2: Review On-Page SEO
Check each page for:
Title tags → Include main keywords, under 60 characters
Meta descriptions → Summarize page content, under 160 characters
Headings (H1, H2, H3) → Structure content clearly
URL structure → Short, readable URLs with keywords
Internal linking → Connect related content
Tools like Yoast SEO or Rank Math make this easier in WordPress.
