Technical SEO Checklist: Core Web Vitals That Actually Matter
Speed, crawlability, and indexation fixes ranked by impact — not by how scary they look in an audit report.
By Haider Ali
Most technical SEO audits produce a 200-item PDF that nobody acts on. We rank every issue by impact: what will move rankings if fixed this week?
Core Web Vitals thresholds
LCP under 2.5s, INP under 200ms, CLS under 0.1. If your trial signup page fails these, you're leaving conversions on the table before SEO even matters.
Crawl budget killers
Faceted navigation, infinite pagination, and duplicate parameter URLs consume crawl budget that should go to your money pages. Audit with Screaming Frog and fix canonicals first.
Schema for SaaS
SoftwareApplication, FAQ, and Organization schema help Google and LLMs understand what you sell. Most SaaS sites implement none of it — easy win.
- Fix CWV on top 5 landing pages
- Resolve indexation errors in Search Console
- Add schema to product and FAQ pages
- Clean sitemap — indexable URLs only
- Re-test after 2 weeks and iterate
