Why we check this
We check this because unresolved technical issues can silently block Google from crawling, rendering or indexing your pages at all — no amount of good content fixes a page search engines can't reach in the first place.
How it's checked in your audit
In your seoaudits.ie audit, this is checked as part of the Technical SEO pillar, using crawl data, log files and manual verification.
A common issue we see
Sites sometimes lazy-load the hero image by mistake, which actually delays LCP instead of improving it.
How to fix it
Apply loading="lazy" only to below-the-fold images and videos, and load above-the-fold hero images eagerly.
