The Technical Audit: Diagnosing Indexation Decay

The silent fault

Indexation decay is the slowest, most expensive fault in search. Traffic doesn't crash, it leaks. Pages that should rank stop rendering. Crawl budget seeps into parameterised dead ends. The movement loses time it never recovers.

The symptoms

• ▸Flat or declining organic despite consistent publishing.
• ▸A growing gap between submitted and indexed URLs.
• ▸Render-to-index times measured in days, not hours.
• ▸Core Web Vitals drifting above threshold.

The service record

A chronometric audit reads like a watchmaker's service record: every component measured, every fault logged, every calibration recorded. We don't hand you a score, we hand you the schematic, and the dials to watch once it's running.
