36+ technical checks, one prioritized fix list.
Rankora's Technical SEO Audit crawls a site, runs 36+ technical checks at once, and returns a single fix list ranked by projected impact — not alphabetically.
Good content on a broken foundation still doesn't rank.
A page can have perfect keyword targeting and still lose to a competitor with worse writing, simply because it loads two seconds slower or has a redirect chain search engines won't fully crawl.
Technical issues are invisible to most people reading a page, which is exactly why they go unfixed the longest — nobody notices until rankings have already slipped.
What is a technical SEO audit?
A technical SEO audit is a systematic check of a website's crawlability, indexability, site speed, and structural health, aimed at finding issues that block search engines and AI crawlers from properly reading and ranking a page. Rankora's Technical SEO Audit runs 36+ checks in a single pass, covering Core Web Vitals, crawlability, broken links, schema markup, mobile usability, and duplicate content, and returns the results as one fix list ranked by projected impact.
Quick answer
A technical SEO audit finds the structural problems stopping a site from ranking — broken links, slow pages, missing schema, blocked crawl paths. Rankora runs 36+ of these checks at once and tells you which to fix first.

What the tool returns
Core Web Vitals
Loading, interactivity, and visual stability scores benchmarked against Google's own thresholds.
A product page's Largest Contentful Paint sits at 4.2 seconds, well past Google's 2.5-second threshold, quietly suppressing its ranking.
Crawlability & Indexation
Robots.txt, sitemap, and index-status checks so nothing important is accidentally hidden from search engines.
A key landing page is accidentally excluded by a robots.txt rule left over from a staging environment.
Broken Links & Redirect Chains
Every dead link and unnecessary redirect hop mapped and flagged for cleanup.
A redirect chain three hops long is slowing crawl budget on a page that should load in one step.
Schema Markup Validation
Structured data checked for errors that would stop rich results — and AI citation — from working.
A product schema block has a missing required field, silently disqualifying it from rich results.
Mobile Usability
Layout, tap-target, and viewport issues specific to mobile search results.
A tap target on a mobile pricing page sits too close to another, an easy fix that's been costing conversions.
Duplicate Content Detection
Pages competing against each other for the same keyword, flagged before they cannibalize rankings.
Two blog posts are unintentionally targeting the same keyword and splitting its ranking potential between them.

What most technical audits get wrong
Fixing issues in the order they're listed
An alphabetical or category-based fix list often means hours spent on low-impact issues before the ones actually costing rankings. The fix: Fix in order of projected ranking impact, not list order.
Auditing once at launch and never again
Technical debt accumulates silently as pages, plugins, and redirects are added over time. The fix: Schedule recurring audits, not a one-time check.
Treating Core Web Vitals as a developer-only concern
Content and image choices affect load speed as much as code does. The fix: Share Core Web Vitals results with content teams, not just engineering.
