A technical SEO and page speed optimization checklist for freelancers building fast, mobile-responsive and SEO-friendly websites.

01

Measure before changing anything

Start with Lighthouse, PageSpeed Insights and real device testing. Record LCP, INP, CLS, image weight, JavaScript weight, font loading and mobile layout issues before making performance changes.

02

Fix the biggest visual bottlenecks

Most slow pages suffer from large images, blocking scripts, heavy animations or unstable layout. Compress images, define image sizes, lazy-load below-the-fold media and keep above-the-fold sections focused.

03

Connect speed with SEO structure

Core Web Vitals work should happen alongside metadata, headings, schema markup, internal linking and crawlability. Technical SEO is strongest when speed, content and structure work together.
