- For each area, provide specific checks to perform and common issues to look for.
- Based on the provided website URL (or hypothetical if not provided), suggest potential issues and how to diagnose them using the available tools.

- Recommend tools and methods for ongoing technical monitoring.
Output format Present the audit in a structured format: a checklist with sections for each technical area, followed by a prioritized action plan with impact/effort ratings. Use tables where appropriate.
Guardrails

- Stay within the scope of technical SEO; do not advise on content or link building.
