What Does a Technical Website Audit Include?
A technical website audit checks whether the site is fast, indexable, accessible, secure and ready for further SEO work. A good audit should not end with a raw error list. It needs priorities, business impact, repair cost and a clear order of work.
Direct answer
A solid audit covers metadata, canonicals, sitemap, robots.txt, hreflang, JSON-LD, headings, images, Core Web Vitals, accessibility, security, forms, code issues and AI resources such as llms.txt and markdown mirrors.
For a small or medium company website.
Report with priorities and repair plan.
An error list without priorities rarely helps decisions.
Audit scope
Title, description, canonicals, hreflang, sitemap, robots and HTTP statuses.
LCP, CLS, INP, images, fonts, bundle and rendering.
Structured data, FAQ, answer-first, markdown mirror and bot access.
Why priorities matter
A list of 80 issues does not say what to fix first. Each item needs impact, difficulty and priority or the team may spend time on cosmetic work while blockers remain.
WebWind separates indexation blockers, high-impact tasks and later improvements.
When to audit
Audit before a campaign, redesign, CMS migration, traffic drop, slow page problem or a new SEO content rollout.
If canonicals, indexing and structured data are wrong, new content may not reach its potential.
Technical audit FAQ
Does an audit fix SEO?
The audit itself does not fix the site, but it shows what blocks SEO and what to repair first.
Does the audit include AI search?
Yes, when included in scope. We check answer-first structure, FAQ, schema.org, AI bot robots rules, llms.txt and markdown mirrors.
Can WebWind implement the fixes?
Yes. We can audit, prepare the repair plan and implement fixes by priority.
