What is Technical SEO??

Technical seo refers to the process of optimizing a website for crawling and indexing. It can be further defined as optimizing a website such that search engines can crawl, interpret and index effectively.

In other terms “Technical SEO” makes a website crawler friendly.

Search engines have their own way of interpreting a website and consider a lot of on-page and off-page activities of the particular site and crawl through it to determine its position on SERPs . All the Digital Marketing Companies (http://www.9and9.com/Digital-Marketing-Services/) strive hard to get to the #1 Position in serps and take a lot of measures to get there. Let us take a brief note on SEO.

On-Page Optimizations: It refers to the process of optimizing a website without any flaws in design, content, images and the over-all structure. On-page optimization includes : Keyword Research, Optimizing Title, Meta tags, image optimizations, generating sitemap, setting up robot.txt file etc.., In short on-page refers to the over-all actions done on the website so as to make it user and search engine friendly. All these optimizations are done on-site and are called on-page optimizations.

Off-Page Optimizations: It refers to all the necessary steps taken to create awareness about the existence of one’s website. In this process brand recognization, backlinks generation, trust building takes place. All these optimizations are done outside the website and hence called off-page optimizations.

From the above explanation we can conclude that Technical seo is an integral part of on-page optimizations as they are meant to be done on-site.

Let us dig deeper into Technical SEO:

xml : It is an url inclusion protocol that explains search engines about all the urls available for crawling in a website and the last updated stats.
txt : Having Robot exclusion protocol also called a robot.txt file in a website helps crawlers to identify pages that need not to be crawled or scanned. robot.txt file is a way of communication of a website to the crawlers about what to not consider for crawling.
Broken links : Broken links are not just bad for SEO but also bad for user experience and can ultimately lead to lower ranking.
HTTPS : “S” in “HTTPS” stands for “Secured” which implies that it is a secured version of HyperText Transfer Protocol. HTTPS is equipped with Secure Socket Layer Protocol that transfers data securely. So search engines prefer HTTPS over HTTP.
