Common questions answered


How often should I run technical audits?

Run audits monthly for active sites, or immediately after making significant changes to your website.


Which issues should I prioritise?

Focus on red (critical) issues first, especially those affecting Core Web Vitals and security. These have the biggest impact on rankings and user experience.


Can I fix these issues myself?

Many issues like meta tags, image compression, and content improvements can be fixed without technical expertise. Complex server and code issues may require developer assistance.


How long before I see improvements?

Technical fixes often show results within days to weeks. Content and structure improvements may take 4-8 weeks to fully impact rankings.


What if I don't understand a recommendation?

The tool provides context for each issue. For detailed technical guidance, consult the linked resources or contact your developer.


Should I audit individual pages or my whole site?

Start with your most important pages (homepage, key landing pages, top-converting content). Use these insights to improve your entire site systematically.
