Technical SEO Checklist

1. Crawlability

robots.txt

File exists at /robots.txt
Not blocking important pages or resources (CSS, JS, images)
Sitemap URL is referenced
User-agent rules are correct
No accidental Disallow: / blocking everything

XML Sitemap

Exists at /sitemap.xml (or referenced in robots.txt)
Includes all important pages
Excludes noindex pages, redirects, and 404s
Uses correct <lastmod> dates
Not exceeding 50,000 URLs per sitemap (use sitemap index if needed)
Proper XML formatting

Crawl Directives

Check <meta name="robots"> tags on each page
Verify X-Robots-Tag HTTP headers
Check canonical URLs — self-referencing and cross-domain
No conflicting directives (e.g., canonical + noindex)

2. Indexation

Status Codes

Important pages return 200
Removed pages return 410 (not soft 404)
Redirected pages use 301 (permanent), not 302 (temporary)
No redirect chains or loops
No 5xx errors

Duplicate Content

Canonical tags prevent duplicate indexing
URL parameters handled (trailing slashes, www vs non-www, http vs https)
Pagination uses rel="next/prev" or canonical to main page
No thin pages with near-identical content

3. Site Speed & Performance

Core Web Vitals

LCP (Largest Contentful Paint): < 2.5s
INP (Interaction to Next Paint): < 200ms
CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift): < 0.1

Performance Checks

Images optimized (WebP/AVIF, lazy loaded, sized correctly)
CSS and JS minified and compressed (gzip/brotli)
No render-blocking resources above the fold
Font loading optimized (font-display: swap)
Third-party scripts deferred or async
Server response time (TTFB) < 200ms
CDN configured for static assets
HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 enabled
Browser caching headers set

Next.js / React Specific

Server Components used for static content (not "use client" everywhere)
Dynamic imports for heavy components
Image component used (next/image)
Route prefetching configured
Bundle size analyzed (no unnecessary dependencies)

4. Mobile

Responsive design (viewport meta tag present)
No horizontal scrolling
Touch targets adequately sized (44x44px min)
Text readable without zooming (16px+ body font)
No intrusive interstitials
Mobile-first CSS approach

5. Security

HTTPS everywhere (no mixed content)
HTTP → HTTPS redirect in place
HSTS header configured
No exposed sensitive files (.env, .git, etc.)
Content Security Policy headers

6. Structured Data

JSON-LD schema markup present on key pages
Schema validates (no errors in Google Rich Results Test)
Schema types match page content
Required properties are populated

7. International SEO (if applicable)

hreflang tags for multi-language content
Language-specific URLs or subdirectories
Correct lang attribute on <html> tag
No machine translation without human review flags

8. URL Structure

Clean, descriptive URLs (no query parameter soup)
Consistent URL patterns across the site
Lowercase URLs (no mixed case)
Hyphens for word separation (not underscores)
Shallow URL depth (max 3-4 levels)
No special characters or spaces

Audit Process

For Codebases

Check configuration files (next.config, robots.txt, sitemap generation)
Analyze page components for SEO elements
Review middleware and redirect rules
Check image handling and optimization
Analyze bundle size and dependencies
Review server vs client component usage

For Live Websites

Fetch and analyze robots.txt and sitemap
Check HTTP headers and status codes
Analyze page load performance
Check mobile rendering
Validate structured data
Test key user journeys for technical issues
