Technical SEO Checklist 2026: From Core Web Vitals to AI Crawlers
A practical technical SEO checklist for 2026, with Core Web Vitals thresholds, canonical and hreflang rules, JavaScript rendering checks and a robots.txt template for AI crawlers.
Build · AI, apps and websites
We build websites that load fast, read clearly and are structured for Google and AI assistants from day one. That means clean code, structured data, Core Web Vitals in the green and pages written around what your customers actually search for.
When you need it
Your site is slow, hard to update, invisible on search, or no longer matches how the business sells. Also when you are launching a new brand, product or market.
What is included
Page architecture built from keyword research and customer questions.
Custom interfaces, not themes with the logo swapped, designed mobile first.
WordPress with Elementor or Gutenberg, headless, or hand-coded PHP and JavaScript.
Schema, sitemaps, canonical rules, hreflang and llms.txt.
Forms, WhatsApp, booking, analytics events and CRM integration.
Deployment, backups, security updates and uptime monitoring.
Deliverables
How we work
Questions
WordPress suits teams that publish often and want to edit pages themselves. Custom code suits sites that need speed, unusual functionality or tight security. We recommend one after understanding who will maintain the site.
No one can guarantee rankings. We build the technical and content foundations that make ranking possible and give you a plan for content and links after launch.
A focused business site usually takes four to eight weeks from approved content. Larger sites with many templates or integrations take longer, and the timeline is in your proposal.
