2026 updates: INP replaces FID, FAQPage schema restrictions, AI visibility via schema
A few techniques from the PDF, 12 pages:
Before picking a single color or font, define who lands on the page. A B2B SaaS targeting CTOs needs to feel different from a local bakery. Get this wrong and every downstream decision compounds the mistake.
FAQPage schema is restricted to government and health sites as of 2025. Most agencies still use it and wonder why their rich results disappeared. Remove it if you have it.
Preload your hero image with <link rel='preload' as='image'> in the document head. This single change drops LCP by 300-800ms on most sites.
No. Every item has an impact score (1-10), a tool recommendation, and an expert explanation of why it matters. Several items include before/after examples showing exactly what wrong looks like vs correct.
