Start an Audit
Run a technical crawl of any set of pages — from one URL to your entire sitemap.
Why it matters: Regular audits catch broken pages, weak metadata and slow templates before they cost rankings.

Helpful tips
- Re-run the same source after deploying fixes and compare issue counts.
Common mistakes
- Auditing a staging URL that's blocked by robots or auth — crawl the public site, or unblock staging first.
Troubleshooting
The crawl seems stuck
Very slow pages can hold up their slot. Leave the tab open; parallel crawling continues. Persistent failures appear with an error status you can filter.
