Fix Technical Issues Blocking Your Rankings
Google’s Core Web Vitals became an official ranking factor in June 2021. Research shows sites improving page speed by 1 second see 7% conversion increase. Technical fixes produce measurable ROI within weeks.
What You’ll Learn
Site Speed Optimization
Image compression (TinyPNG reduces 70% with no quality loss) is single biggest improvement. Caching plugins reduce server load 50%. Mobile testing via Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test identifies usability problems ranking penalizes.
Mobile-First Indexing
Google uses mobile site for rankings (not desktop). Font sizes, touch targets, spacing all affect rankings. Testing across devices identifies issues before they damage rankings.
HTTPS & Security Setup
HTTPS is non-negotiable. Google explicitly prioritizes secure sites. Most hosting provides free SSL certificates (Let’s Encrypt). Installation is straightforward.
Realistic Outcomes
Technical fixes alone won’t rank you. But without fixes, nothing ranks. Sites fixing core issues see 20-50% traffic increases within 60 days.
