What Are the Benefits of Technical SEO?

 

Technical SEO:


Technical SEO denotes any possible activity that interferes with the architecture of the site and affects the way Google robots see it. If it helps to render, interpret, index, and finally: display the page for the user, then it is effective. It's worth remembering about.

The technical advantages of SEO

Facilitated analysis of your site's resources is only part of the coin. What are the other benefits of technical SEO Services?

  • Proper indexing (one of the technical principles of SEO) will help you monitor how specific activities impact your page. Without it, your site will not be visible.

  • Google ranks the most technically refined pages (e.g. Mobile-First Indexing).

  • Only a technically optimised site is easy to use. Not even the most appealing design will work wonders if the page isn't mobile-friendly, doesn't load quickly, or has an unintuitive menu.

  • An insecure website (SSL certificate is one of the technical elements of SEO) will discourage users from providing their data and, as a result, will not complete transactions.

  • Users don't have to wait long to load a website, which translates into a higher rejection rate.

  • A smooth running page means a better user experience and a better chance of people coming back to your site.

It seems that technical SEO doesn't just help robots. It mainly affects the user experience.

Technical SEO is a team effort and close cooperation with web developers

Is this the right time to give you a list of technical optimizations? Not yet. It is worth mentioning that quality technical SEO requires teamwork. Knowledge that goes beyond the skills of an SEO specialist - web development expertise - may be needed. Therefore, it is worth finding help. We are well aware of that. That's why we're looking for a webmaster to join the Delante team and support Jurek, who works in the SEO department.

In addition to cooperating with web developers, it is recommended that you have a CMS that either allows you to make major changes to your site or provides you with good technical support.

 

15 elements of technical SEO that deserve your attention

What elements of website optimization can be considered technical SEO ? Below is a 15-point list that you should focus on when working on your page.

1. SSL certificate


Safety should be your top priority. A website without an SSL certificate and HTTPS protocol is not trusted by users (will not provide sensitive personal data, will not make payments, etc.) and Google (which treats data encryption as standard).

2. Redirects


A redirect informs your browser and robots that they need to go to another address because the content they are looking for has been moved for some time or forever. Technically speaking, there shouldn't be too many redirects. Too long a redirect chain can either slow down your site or create a redirect loop (310).

3. Correct the robots.txt file


Robots.txt is a file placed on the website server. It is strictly dedicated to web crawlers. It shows them the direction of the traffic on the site and blocks their access to the selected resources. This file may also limit the number of queries from a specific source or may block analytics crawlers. Why is it worth setting up robots.txt correctly and preventing them from accessing certain subpages? Because their presence (e.g. shopping cart, billboard) does not have a positive impact on search results . In addition, your page position may even decrease, for example, by increasing the amount of duplicate content.

4. Correct sitemap 



Sitemap, or sitemap.xml file, is also used to navigate search engine robots. Contains information about all URLs on the page. It should include the current page addresses that are correct and do not generate 404 errors. A properly structured sitemap is 50 MB or less. If it includes more than 50,000 URLs, it should be split into several smaller sitemaps and one with graphics only.

5. Short page load time


A site that forces visitors to wait doesn't have too many visitors. Don't let people leave the page without seeing its content just because of its large size. This will increase your bounce rate and lower your site's search results.

6. Mobile utility


 In recent years, we have talked about the first mobile index. Without a doubt, the vast majority of Internet users surf the net with the help of mobile devices. In addition, in March 2018. Google has finally officially confirmed that it has introduced Mobile First Index. What does it mean for a person who wants to work in technical SEO? That it is the most important thing to improve the mobile version of the page, because it is one of the cornerstones that affect the Google ranking.

7. Friendly URLs, correct internal links


Properly structured URLs affect the number of keywords for which the page is displayed. But what does "appropriate" mean? What is the correct URL structure? It should not contain underscores. Instead, it should focus on words without special characters, numbers, and parameters separated by "-". It should also reflect everything that can be found on the page.

On the other hand, internal links are a network of links between the pages of a site that help the user navigate the page and move from one required content to another. What can go wrong here? If landing page addresses change, for example during migration, the internal links are broken and need to be updated.

8. Nr. 404, 500 and other errors


Or, let's be realistic: a limited number of errors. Information about 404 (no page) and 500 (server error) errors can be found in the Google Search Console. How can their growing number damage your page? It will inform Google that you are not taking care of your site and that it is full of technical errors. As a result, robots will not display such a page to users.

9. No duplicate content


Duplicate content (meaning that the same content is found on different subpages or copied from other websites) can result from a number of things. It can sometimes be caused by accidental indexing of subpage children.

10. Transparent navigation (including breadcrumbs)


Google places great emphasis on how users manage their sites. If unintentional navigation or a confusing page structure causes visitors to leave the site, it will affect your ranking on Google. That's why you need a quality menu and transparent navigation.

11. Structured data implemented (Scheme)

The scheme, which is structured data, is another way of telling Google robots what they are "looking at." Such bookmarks will help your site appear in on_SERP and voice search results. Moreover, you can even get the so-called "0" position.

Google advises you how to mark content to make it easier to analyse:

 

12. Canonical URLs


Canonical links tell Google robots which of the URLs with the same content is the main one. Entering the rel = canonical attribute in the head section reduces the duplicate content.

13. Hreflangs

The hreflang attribute tells search engine robots about available language versions. Redirects both robots and users to the prepared version in their language and, for example, with coins tailored to their location. Proper implementation of hreflangs improves your site usage, which translates into better Google rankings.

14. AMP


Accelerated Mobile Pages is an encoding standard that allows you to publish content that you've already added so that it can respond to mobile devices. Keeping a subpage in Google's cache may improve your upload speed. Although AMP itself does not affect SEO, the shortened loading time will allow you to reach better positions.

15. Correct indexing


Finally, it should be noted that none of the above activities will bring the desired results if the page is not indexed in Google, which means that it is not recognized by and available to search engine robots. Indexing can be accidentally disabled in several ways: by incorrectly blocking access to the resource in robots.txt or by the rel = "noindex" attribute in the source code of the page.

Title and meta description elements are sometimes considered another element of technical SEO. Developers can set them globally for all subpages of the site, based on variables and templates. In this case, they look like this:

<product name> <category> | <store name>.

This solution makes sense if the title content is not taken from the H1 header or another subpage. Otherwise, you should be dealing with duplicate content.

Take away

A short recipe for effective technical SEO? There is no such thing! However, we will give you some valuable advice: even if you know how to do technical SEO , it is difficult to refine complex technical aspects of a website without the help of a quality web developer. Think about it in advance and make sure your CMS is technically supported and that the team is working together. Depending on the extent of your planned technical optimizations, you may decide to change your content management system.
