Why technical health determines your rankings
A technically broken site can be perfectly written, designed and fast: Google still won't index it correctly. An expired SSL certificate drives visitors away and hurts rankings. A misconfigured robots.txt blocks important pages. Redirect chains slow down crawling and dilute PageRank.
Trakup automatically inspects every technical dimension at each scan: SSL certificate validity and expiry date, DNS configuration, robots.txt and sitemap directives, redirect chains, HTTP status codes, security headers and canonicals. Every anomaly is flagged with its severity and the fix to apply.
These checks run across the entire site, page by page, not just on the homepage. A deep page with a redirect issue or an incorrect canonical is caught just like a global problem.
Why it matters
What the technical audit reveals
Valid, up-to-date SSL certificate
Trakup checks SSL certificate validity, its expiry date, and alerts you before it expires. An expired certificate triggers browser warnings that drive visitors away and hurt your SEO.
Robots.txt and sitemap
Verifies that robots.txt is accessible, syntactically correct and doesn't block important pages. The XML sitemap is checked for presence, accessibility and consistency with actually indexable pages.
Redirects and HTTP status codes
Detection of redirect chains (301 to 301 to 302...), infinite loops and pages returning 4xx or 5xx error codes. Every unnecessary redirect dilutes authority and slows down crawling.
HTTP headers and security
Control of essential security headers: HSTS, X-Frame-Options, Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options. A site missing these headers exposes visitors and may be penalised by some browsers.
In Trakup
How Trakup performs the technical audit
At every scan, Trakup runs technical checks on all crawled pages. The SSL certificate is verified in real time with its fingerprint and expiry date. HTTP headers of each response are analysed. Robots.txt and the sitemap are validated syntactically and semantically.
Results are consolidated in a dedicated report that ranks anomalies by severity: critical (fix immediately), important (confirmed SEO impact) and watch. Each issue includes the affected URL, precise diagnosis and recommended fix.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
All crawled pages. Each URL is individually inspected: HTTP code, redirect, canonical, headers. An issue on a deep page is surfaced the same way as a global problem.
At every scan, with an automatic alert if the certificate expires within 30 days. You're notified before it lapses, not after.
Trakup detects it and flags the mistakenly blocked pages, along with the robots.txt directive causing the issue. You can fix the rule directly in your file without manual testing.
Security headers are checked at domain level and on a sample of pages. Critical anomalies (missing HSTS, absent X-Frame-Options) are flagged with their impact.
