Read it once, then do it straight away on a real site inside RankAudit. Nothing here is theory for its own sake — every step produces something you can show a client.

Do it now

  2. 2Crawl a site and triage the issue list.
  3. 3Measure publish-to-index time for five recent articles and note the slowest step.
