Technical SEO Audit

How It Works

Four-Phase Architecture

A structured, intelligent pipeline from URL input to actionable SEO insight.

🌐

URL Initialization

Live page scan — speed, headings, alt tags, and on-page elements analysed directly from your submitted URL.

🕸️

Structured Crawl

Sitemap + internal link collection with intelligent de-duplication of template links across headers, footers, and nav.

🔍

HTTP Validation

Every URL individually verified — canonicals, redirects, broken links, and status codes confirmed for accuracy.

⚡

Insight Generation

AI synthesises all data into prioritised fixes — technical issues, SEO gaps, and growth opportunities ranked by impact.

Cumulative Layout Shift — visual stability. Good: < 0.1.

TBT

⏱️

Total Blocking Time — thread blocking between FCP and TTI. Good: < 200ms.

Speed Index

How quickly content is visually populated during load. Good: < 3.4s.

🧠

Neural Score

All five metrics feed the AI Optimization Score — one number that reflects true page health.

Intelligence Layer

Canonical Divergence Detection

SearchRNK reads declared canonical tags directly from every page's source code and compares them against the live URL. Self-referential canonicals are confirmed, mismatches are flagged, and missing tags are recorded.

Clean canonical signals prevent duplicate content fragmentation and protect your search rankings from indexing confusion.

Identifies and reads all canonical tags in source

Detects URL-to-canonical mismatches instantly

Confirms exact self-referential alignment per page
