technical-audit

The technical-audit skill provides a systematic framework for evaluating the SEO health and performance of web pages. Designed for developers, SEO specialists, and technical product managers, this skill enables the rapid identification of performance bottlenecks and indexability errors that impact search engine visibility. By integrating with tools like Chrome DevTools MCP, PageSpeed Insights API, and Lighthouse, it streamlines the complex process of verifying technical requirements across modern web stacks.

• Performs comprehensive indexability checks, including robots.txt validation, canonical tag status, meta robot tags, and URL title/description optimization.

• Analyzes content structure metrics such as heading hierarchy (H1-H3), keyword distribution, word count benchmarks, and duplicate content detection.

• Automates the measurement of Core Web Vitals including LCP (Largest Contentful Paint), INP (Interaction to Next Paint), and CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) to ensure optimal user experience.

• Validates complex schema markup implementation (JSON-LD) for Article, FAQ, HowTo, Product, and LocalBusiness page types.

• Audits internal, external, and broken link patterns to ensure logical site architecture and zero-error navigation.

• Use this skill when deploying new features to ensure no breaking changes in crawlability or performance. It is recommended to use the Chrome DevTools MCP for real-time site measurements or the PageSpeed Insights API for standardized reporting. The expected output is a structured technical report containing an overall score, categorized issue lists by severity (CRITICAL to LOW), and actionable remediation steps. Note that some measurements, such as manual web.dev checks, may require higher latency, while automated API integrations provide faster, programmatic results. Ensure your environment has network access to the target URLs to allow for successful parsing of HTML structure and DOM hierarchy.
