WordPress Technical SEO Checklist for 2025 (Developer-Friendly Guide)

WordPress gives non-devs SEO control, but theme bloat, plugins, and crawl issues can sabotage rankings.

*Fixes Developers Should Prioritize:
*
Audit crawl paths (use Screaming Frog, Sitebulb)

Implement JSON-LD schema (Article, Product, Breadcrumb)

Optimize INP, LCP, CLS metrics (remove heavy JS/plugins)

Standardize URL logic (REST API endpoints can leak crawl waste)

Sample JSON-LD (Article Schema):

{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "Article",
"headline": "Technical SEO for WordPress in 2025",
"author": "Rajiv, The Organic Architect"
}
