Explore practical website audit observations about architecture, internal linking, trust signals, scalability, and recurring website patterns through Website Audit Notes.
Small website details are often part of much larger architectural patterns.
Website Audit Notes is a collection of practical observations from the recurring patterns I encounter while auditing websites across different industries. These notes focus on the structural decisions behind URLs, internal linking, location pages, trust signals, content organization, and other architectural elements that shape how a website grows and communicates its expertise. These notes don't try to provide a checklist for every situation. Instead, they explain what recurring website patterns often reveal, what I would look for during an audit, and why those observations matter before making website or SEO recommendations.
Each note focuses on one recurring website pattern, one architectural observation, and one practical takeaway.
You can read the series in any order as each note stands on its own.
