Core Web Vitals

Google's 3 page experience signals — and why they're now ranking factors

Core Web Vitals became official Google ranking signals in 2021. Pages that fail CWV thresholds are actively disadvantaged in rankings vs competitors that pass. Our audit measures all three metrics on both mobile and desktop, identifies the specific elements causing failures, and prescribes precise engineering fixes.

LCP
Largest Contentful Paint
Time for the largest visible element to load
≤ 2.5s Good — no ranking impact
2.5s–4.0s Needs Improvement
> 4.0s Poor — active ranking penalty
Most impacted by: unoptimised hero images, render-blocking CSS/JS, slow server response (TTFB), and lack of image preloading. We identify and fix the specific element causing your LCP failure.
CLS
Cumulative Layout Shift
Total visual instability during page load
≤ 0.1 Good — stable layout
0.1–0.25 Needs Improvement
> 0.25 Poor — elements jumping during load
Caused by: images without defined dimensions, ads injected above content, web fonts causing text swap, dynamically injected content above the fold. Each cause is identifiable and fixable with specific engineering changes.
INP
Interaction to Next Paint
Responsiveness to user interactions throughout page life
≤ 200ms Good — responsive interactions
200–500ms Needs Improvement
> 500ms Poor — interactions feel sluggish
Replaced FID in 2024. Caused by: excessive JavaScript execution, long tasks blocking the main thread, third-party scripts (chat widgets, analytics, ads), and event handler complexity. Our audit identifies the specific scripts causing INP failures.

Common Issues We Find

The technical problems silently destroying your rankings

Most websites have multiple critical technical SEO issues they're unaware of. These issues compound — each one reduces your ranking potential, and together they can render months of content and link investment almost useless.

🔴

Canonical & Duplicate Content Errors

Missing or incorrect canonical tags cause Google to split ranking signals across multiple URL variants — diluting your page authority and preventing clear rankings. Found in 68% of sites we audit.

Critical — Direct ranking impact
🔴

Crawl Budget Waste

If Google wastes crawl budget on low-value pages (session IDs, filter URLs, auto-generated archives), your important money pages get crawled less frequently — reducing their ability to rank for competitive terms.

Critical — Affects all rankings
🟡

Core Web Vitals Failures

Pages failing LCP, CLS, or INP thresholds receive a ranking disadvantage in Google's page experience signal — meaning a competitor with equally good content but better CWV will rank above you.

High — Active ranking disadvantage
🟡

Orphan Pages & Internal Link Gaps

Pages with no internal links receive no PageRank flow and are rarely crawled. Your most valuable pages may be effectively invisible to Google because they're not linked from anywhere meaningful in your site architecture.

High — Prevents ranking for key pages
🔵

Schema Markup Missing or Invalid

Pages without valid schema markup miss out on rich results (star ratings, FAQs, sitelinks) — reducing click-through rates even when you rank well. Increasingly important for AI Overview eligibility.

Medium — CTR and GEO impact

Baseline Data
How It Works

From access to full audit report in 5–7 business days

We need access to Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and your website — nothing else. The entire process is completed without requiring any changes to your live site until the fix roadmap is delivered and agreed.

01

Access & Scoping

We collect read-only access to Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and your website CMS (or a staging environment). We agree scope: total URLs, key page types, and any specific concerns or priority areas to investigate first.

02

Automated Crawl

Full website crawl using Screaming Frog — collecting response codes, canonical tags, meta data, structured data, internal links, and all technical signals for every page. Cross-validated against GSC coverage data and server logs where available.

03

Manual Expert Analysis

Our SEO specialists manually review crawl findings, CWV data, GSC coverage errors, schema validation results, and analytics patterns — applying expert judgment to separate genuine issues from false positives, and identifying root causes behind symptoms.

04

Report & Roadmap Build

All findings documented in the structured audit report, each issue scored by impact and effort, fix roadmap assembled in priority order, schema templates created, and GSC baseline report prepared. Full internal review before delivery.

05

Debrief & Handoff

60-minute video call walkthrough of all findings with your team. We explain every critical issue in plain language, answer questions, clarify priorities, and confirm the fix implementation plan. Optional: we also handle implementation via our ongoing SEO retainer.

Sample Findings

The kind of issues we uncover — and what we tell you to do about them

Every issue in our audit report includes the finding, a plain-language explanation of why it matters, and a specific, implementable fix — not vague recommendations.

🔴 Critical Indexation
83 paginated URLs indexed without canonical tags
Your paginated category pages (/products?page=2, /products?page=3...) are all being indexed as separate pages without canonical tags pointing to the root category. Google is splitting your ranking signals across 83 near-duplicate URLs instead of consolidating them on your main category page.
Add rel="canonical" to all paginated URLs pointing to the first page (or the main non-paginated equivalent). For WordPress: install Yoast SEO and enable canonical handling. For custom: add <link rel="canonical" href="[root URL]"> in <head>.
↑ Expected ranking impact: High — consolidates authority to main category pages
🔴 Critical Crawlability
robots.txt blocking /blog/ — entire blog not indexable
Your robots.txt file contains the directive "Disallow: /blog/" — this is blocking Google from crawling and indexing your entire blog section. All blog content, regardless of quality, will not appear in Google search results. This is often added accidentally during development and never removed.
Remove the "Disallow: /blog/" line from robots.txt. Access via your server's root directory or CMS settings (in WordPress: Settings → Reading → uncheck "Discourage search engines"). Submit updated sitemap to GSC after fixing.
↑ Expected ranking impact: Critical — unlocks entire blog for indexation
🟡 High Core Web Vitals
LCP = 4.2s caused by 1.2MB unoptimised hero image
Your homepage LCP element is a 1.2MB JPEG hero image loaded without preloading or compression. The browser must download the full file before painting the LCP element, causing a 4.2s LCP on mobile — failing Google's 2.5s threshold and incurring an active page experience ranking penalty.
Convert hero image to WebP format (target: <120KB), add fetchpriority="high" to the img tag, add <link rel="preload" as="image"> in <head>, and serve via CDN. Expected LCP improvement: to ≤2.2s.
↑ Expected ranking impact: High — removes active page experience penalty
🟡 High Site Architecture
156 orphan pages receiving zero internal links
156 pages on your website are not linked to from any other page. These pages receive zero PageRank flow through internal links, are rarely crawled by Google, and have almost no chance of ranking. Many of these are service pages and case studies that should be your highest-ranking commercial assets.
Audit the 156 orphan pages and categorise: (1) delete/noindex pages with no value, (2) add internal links from related content for valuable pages. Priority: add links to commercial service pages from homepage, navigation, and related blog content. See attached internal linking map.
↑ Expected ranking impact: High — activates currently invisible pages

Common Questions

Technical SEO Audit — everything you need to know

A technical SEO audit is a comprehensive analysis of your website's technical infrastructure — everything that affects how search engines crawl, index, and rank your pages. It covers crawlability, indexation, site speed, Core Web Vitals, schema markup, internal linking, duplicate content, redirect chains, mobile usability, site architecture, and 120+ additional checks. The output is a prioritised report of issues and a fix roadmap — not just a list of problems.
A technical SEO audit focuses exclusively on the infrastructure layer — how search engines access and process your website. A general SEO audit additionally covers content quality, keyword targeting, backlink profile, and competitive positioning. Technical SEO is the foundation: no amount of great content or quality links will produce rankings if Google can't properly crawl and index your pages. We recommend completing a technical audit before investing in content creation or link building, as technical issues can negate those investments entirely.
We need: (1) Read-only access to Google Search Console — add us as a verified owner or delegate; (2) Read-only access to Google Analytics — add us as a viewer; (3) Your website URL and any login credentials for crawling password-protected areas (staging/preview environments) — or a list of URLs to include. We do not need admin access to your live CMS for the audit itself. All access is revoked after audit delivery if requested.
Our standard technical SEO audit takes 5–7 business days from access being granted for websites up to 500 pages. Medium sites (500–5,000 pages) take 7 business days. Large enterprise sites (5,000+ pages) take up to 10 business days. The timeline covers automated crawling, manual expert analysis, report writing, schema template creation, and internal review before delivery. The debrief call is scheduled within 2 business days of report delivery.
Yes — post-audit fix implementation is available as a separate engagement. After the debrief call, if you'd like us to handle all technical fixes rather than passing them to your development team, we scope the implementation work and provide a separate quote. Many clients take the audit report to their own developers, while others prefer to have our team handle everything. Both approaches work well — the fix roadmap is designed to be actionable by any competent developer.
A comprehensive technical SEO audit should be done at minimum once per year, and always before or after: (1) website platform migration (WordPress to Shopify, website redesign, URL restructuring), (2) a significant Google algorithm update that causes a ranking drop, (3) launching a major new section of your website, or (4) any unexplained drop in organic traffic. Between full audits, our monthly technical monitoring add-on (₹8,000/month) catches new issues before they compound.
Codos Technology's technical SEO audit starts from ₹15,000 (one-time) for websites up to 500 pages. Medium websites (500–5,000 pages) are ₹25,000, and large/enterprise websites (5,000+ pages) start from ₹40,000. All audits include the full 120+ check report, Core Web Vitals analysis, schema audit and templates, GSC baseline report, priority fix roadmap, and a debrief call. Ongoing monthly technical monitoring is available from ₹8,000/month as a retainer add-on.
