The hook
Crawlability is the foundation layer. Before content, schema, or performance can matter, crawlers need a stable map of canonical URLs that return usable responses.

FixWeb combines robots.txt, sitemap discovery, rendered page status, final URLs, canonical tags, and robots meta directives from the browser crawl.
The blast radius
A single accidental noindex, broken sitemap, or cross-host canonical can suppress important pages even when the page looks fine to a human visitor.

FixWeb fetches robots.txt and sitemap.xml, renders discovered pages, records HTTP status and final URLs, and inspects rendered meta robots and canonical tags.
Ironclad defenses
Publish a valid sitemap, reference it from robots.txt, keep canonical tags self-consistent, remove accidental noindex directives, and monitor 4xx/5xx responses on important templates.
