What are the most important technical SEO checks for crawlability and indexing?

The most important technical SEO checks for crawlability and indexing are these:

  • Google Search Console coverage/indexing status: check which URLs are indexed, excluded, or showing errors.
  • robots.txt: make sure important pages and critical resources are not blocked.
  • XML sitemap: submit a clean, up-to-date sitemap and confirm it is being read properly.
  • Canonical tags: verify they point to the correct preferred URL and do not create conflicts.
  • HTTP status codes: confirm important URLs return 200 OK and fix broken pages, server errors, redirect chains, and loops.
  • Internal linking and orphan pages: ensure key pages are reachable through links and not left isolated.
  • Meta robots / noindex directives: check that pages intended for indexing are not accidentally set to noindex.
  • JavaScript rendering: verify that important content and internal links are visible to search engines after rendering.
  • Duplicate versions of the site: resolve issues such as http vs https, www vs non-www, and other duplicate URL variants.
  • Crawl depth and site architecture: make sure key pages are not buried too deep in the site structure.

A practical audit usually starts with Google Search Console, then checks robots.txt, sitemap, canonicals, status codes, internal links, and renderability in that order.

If you want, I can turn this into a prioritised technical SEO checklist for a website audit.
