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
Expired SSL certificates or mixed http/https configurations are surprisingly common after a server or hosting migration.
How to fix it
Enforce HTTPS site-wide with a valid, auto-renewing certificate, and 301 redirect every http:// request to https://.
