The 9 Pillars of Technical Website Health
Our flagship Website Doctor diagnostic platform evaluates websites against 9 critical architectural pillars, providing an unvarnished audit of production health:
- 1. Technical SEO: Crawlability, robots directives, canonical consistency, and structured data.
- 2. Performance & Speed: Dual-device Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) and server TTFB.
- 3. TLS & Security: Certificate expiration, HSTS headers, CSP enforcement, and secure cookies.
- 4. WCAG Accessibility: Color contrast, ARIA landmarks, image alt attributes, and tap targets.
- 5. Mobile Responsiveness: Viewport configuration, touch element spacing, and horizontal overflow.
- 6. Architecture & Frameworks: CMS detection, modern JS library dependencies, and CDN edge presence.
- 7. Internal Link Hygiene: Broken links, redirect chains, and anchor text distribution.
- 8. AI Search Readiness: AI bot permissions, /llms.txt manifests, and entity disambiguation.
- 9. Content & Metadata: Open Graph social tags, title tag pixel widths, and heading hierarchy.
