# Technical SEO Audit and fix the layer beneath the content: how search engines crawl, render, index, and trust a site. Stack-agnostic. --- ## When to use - Site-wide audit before or after a migration - Investigating indexing or ranking drops - Setting up SEO foundations on a new site - Auditing Core Web Vitals or page experience signals - Fixing crawl waste, redirect chains, or canonical issues - Setting up multilingual or multi-regional sites ## When NOT to use - Single-page on-page optimization (use `seo-onpage`) - Keyword strategy or content planning (use `seo-keyword`) - Competitor backlink or SERP analysis (use `seo-competitor`) - Pure performance optimization without SEO context (use `performance-optimization`) --- ## Required inputs - The site URL or staging URL - Access to (at minimum) view the rendered HTML, robots.txt, and sitemap - Ideally: search console access, server logs, and a crawler If the site is large (10K+ URLs), confirm whether the audit is a full crawl or a sample. --- ## The framework: 6 layers Technical SEO has six layers, stacked.

How do I install it?

Where does this skill come from?
From rampstackco/claude-skills, a repository with 515 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
