| description | ALWAYS use this when the request matches SEO Technical: Audit technical SEO across crawlability, indexability, security, URLs, mobile, Core Web Vitals, structured data, JavaScript rendering, and related platform signals like robots.txt and AI crawler access. |
Technical SEO Audit
Selective Reading Rule
Start with:
references/senior-master-standard.mdreferences/usage-routing.mdreferences/quality-checklist.md
Then load only the inherited docs, scripts, assets, or examples that match the user's actual task.
When to Use
- Use when the user wants a technical SEO review focused on crawlability, indexability, performance, or rendering.
- Use when auditing robots.txt, canonicalization, JavaScript SEO, Core Web Vitals, or AI crawler access.
- Use when the task is infrastructure- and implementation-oriented rather than content-focused.
Categories
1. Crawlability
- robots.txt: exists, valid, not blocking important resources
- XML sitemap: exists, referenced in robots.txt, valid format
- Noindex tags: intentional vs accidental
- Crawl depth: important pages within 3 clicks of homepage
- JavaScript rendering: check if critical content requires JS execution
- Crawl budget: for large sites (>10k pages), efficiency matters
