How your website performs comes down to more than how high you are ranking on SERPs. There are many technical aspects that make up how your site loads and the content that is displayed to users.
We’ve covered before that site speed is more important than ever. Here we’ll cover what else you can do to optimise your site to the highest level.
Page Speed
Page speed helps with SEO by developing better and faster crawling, indexation and efficiency. But it is more than that. It also helps with user experience – you don’t want you users to wait for your pages to load.

Earlier this year, Google announced the introduction of the mobile-first index. This announcement stated that Google will crawl, index and rank a page based on the mobile version of a website, instead of the desktop versions of the site. The introduction and roll-out of this meant that Google would now be more favourable to websites that are responsive and perform well across multiple devices – particularly mobile.
It’s important to recognise that indexing and ranking are not the same thing. Indexing is the process of scanning and storing a web page on a search engine’s index. There are severa ..read more

Indexing is the process of adding pages into search engines. Depending on which meta tag has been used (index vs. no-index), Google will crawl and index your pages accordingly. Indexing ultimately means your pages have been saved in Google’s index. It is worth mentioning that these meta tags can sometimes be ignored, but they are recognised as a directive by Google.
As SEO’s our aim is to ensure that all of our indexable pages have been indexed by Google – and that our most important pages are being indexed. At the end of the day, without indexing your pages have no way of ranking in SERPs. H ..read more

Search engine algorithms can use this, among many other signals, to help calculate page rankings which in turn determines where pages are shown in SERPs.
Put simply, it is the notion that links can pass authority from one page to another. How much value is passed on depends on the authority of the linking page, the ..read more

Since the idea of blogging began back in the hazy days of the early 90s, with pioneer Justin Hall leading the way, they’ve slowly taken over the internet. Nowadays it seems every man and his dog has an area where they can express themselves, be it through sites like WordPress or Tumblr, or if they’re a particularly dedicated man/dog combo, their very own site & domain name. Blogging has become incredibly lucrative, with some plucky writers earning their entire income through the art, and large content-based companies managing to thrive through a combination of PR, paid advertising and a te ..read more

Before I request an answer to the question above from Alexa, which is sitting right next to me and itching to chat, first allow me to provide some background information regarding voice search technology and explain why an increasing number of consumers are embracing it.
Voice search – a speech recognition technology allowing people to search through speaking, as opposed to typing terms into a text field – is a booming market and ComScore have even projected that 50% of all searches will be voice searches by 2020.
Although this technology is not completely new, the action of talking directly ..read more
