Technical SEO test

The Technical SEO test evaluates a candidate's understanding of key elements necessary for optimizing a website’s technical aspects to improve search engine visibility. It covers critical areas such as page load speed, mobile optimization, and server response times, ensuring a site performs well across devices and platforms. Candidates will demonstrate their knowledge of best practices for structuring websites, including URL optimization, breadcrumbs, and ensuring accessibility for both users and search engines.

A significant portion of the test focuses on indexing, testing candidates' ability to set up sitemaps, robots.txt files, and manage redirects (e.g., 301, 302). Candidates will also be expected to show a strong grasp of canonical tags, meta tags, and structured data markup, all of which are essential for improving site indexing and visibility.

The test assesses the candidate's knowledge of the technical factors that impact site performance, such as JavaScript rendering, dynamic content, and AJAX applications. Additionally, candidates will be tested on their proficiency with tools like Google Search Console for auditing site health, monitoring crawl errors, and optimizing performance.

Finally, the test evaluates a candidate's ability to address common issues like mobile-first indexing, duplicate content, and executing site migrations while ensuring that websites adhere to search engine algorithms and technical guidelines to support sustainable organic growth.
