The technical side of search: crawling, robots.txt, XML sitemaps, broken links and a technical SEO checklist.
A working technical SEO checklist: robots.txt access, noindex and canonicals, status codes, redirects, sitemaps, titles, internal links, HTTPS and page weight.
How a web crawler works: seed URLs, fetching, link extraction, the frontier, depth and page limits, robots.txt, politeness, JavaScript and crawl reports.
What an XML sitemap does and doesn't do, its format and size limits, how sitemap index files work, where to declare it, and which URLs belong in it.
