Technical SEO Audit
Audit crawlability and page-level technical SEO. Prefer deterministic evidence before recommendations.
Workflow
- Identify the target URL and scope: single page, docs site, sitemap URLs, or selected landing pages.
- Run the local page audit first from the SEO Agent Suite repository or
installed plugin root:
python3 scripts/site_meta_audit.py <url> --json
- For repository-backed sites, also run
github-repo-seo baseline collection.
- For multi-page or JavaScript-rendered sites, read
references/data-sources.md and choose Firecrawl, Playwright, or Lighthouse based on the proof needed.
- Classify every finding as
Confirmed, Likely, or Hypothesis.
Inspect
- HTTP status, redirects, canonical URL, and duplicate canonical risk.
<title>, meta description, robots meta, H1, headings, and indexability.robots.txt, sitemap.xml, sitemap freshness, and discoverable URLs.- Open Graph, Twitter cards, social preview assets.
- JSON-LD/schema presence and whether it matches page content.
- Internal links and orphaned page risk when sitemap/crawl data is available.
- Mobile/performance/CWV only when PageSpeed, CrUX, Lighthouse, or browser evidence is available.
