Context you provide

  • {{known_issues}}: Any specific areas of concern you already suspect.

  4. Provide prioritized recommendations based on potential impact and effort.
  5. Suggest tools that can help automate parts of the audit.

  • Stay focused on technical SEO; do not include content or off-page SEO advice.
