Why is my website so slow?
Usually large images, too many plugins or scripts, a slow host, or no caching. On WordPress sites, page builders and theme bloat are common causes. A speed test shows which, and most can be fixed without a rebuild.
What are Core Web Vitals, and do they affect SEO?
Google's three measures of page experience: Largest Contentful Paint (how fast the main content loads, good is 2.5 seconds or less), Interaction to Next Paint (how quickly the page responds, good is 200 ms or less) and Cumulative Layout Shift (how much the page jumps, good is 0.1 or less). They're a ranking factor, though content still matters more.
How much does a technical SEO audit cost in Singapore?
With me, ongoing technical SEO is part of the SEO and AI search retainer, from SGD 2,520 a month. One specific problem is quoted as a one-off fix from SGD 850, after I've looked at it.
Why are my pages not being indexed by Google?
Common causes are a noindex tag left on, pages blocked in robots.txt, a canonical pointing elsewhere, thin or duplicate content, or pages with no internal links pointing to them. Search Console's page indexing report says which, and each has a different fix.
What is structured data, and does it help SEO?
Code that tells search engines what a page is about in a format they read directly: a business, a product, an FAQ, an article. It can earn rich results in Google, and it makes it easier for AI search to quote your facts correctly.
Does HTTPS affect SEO rankings?
Yes, a little: Google confirmed HTTPS as a light ranking signal. More importantly, browsers warn visitors on sites without it, which costs you enquiries. Every site I build runs on HTTPS.
Do I need an XML sitemap?
Most sites benefit from one. It lists the pages you want indexed so Google finds them faster, which matters most for new sites and large ones. It should update itself when you add pages.
Can moving my website hurt my rankings?
It can if pages change address without redirects. Before a migration I list every page that brings traffic, keep the addresses that rank, and redirect any that must move, then watch Search Console after launch.
