Constantly working on Core Web Vitals for page speed, providing a better user experience (SXO – Search Experience Optimization) and content quality.

Screaming Frog, a tool that has evolved according to the expectations of SEO consultants and that remains easy to use.

Redirecting content by default to homepage and this issue is being challenged with the impacts of <H1> on the <title> served in SERPs.
