Technical SEO

HTML

Also known as: HyperText Markup Language

A markup language describing web document structure, including text, headings, links, and forms.

A practical example

An article contains a heading, paragraphs, and a bulleted list.

What should I know?

Semantic structure should reflect meaning, not only appearance.

Technical SEO in practice

Check crawler access, server responses, and content processing separately. Then assess indexing and search appearance. These stages are connected but distinct and need different diagnostic methods.
