Term: Technical SEO<br /> Definition: Technical SEO refers to the process of optimising a website’s technical aspects to improve its visibility in search engine results. Alternative Names: Site Performance Optimisation

Benefits or importance: Proper implementation of technical SEO makes a website easier to crawl, understand, and index for search engines. It enhances site usability, leading to a better user experience and potentially higher ranking in search engine results.

Common misconceptions or pitfalls: One common misconception is that technical SEO only needs to be done once. However, it is a continuous process that ought to be revisited regularly due to algorithm changes, site updates, and technological advancements.

Use cases: Technical SEO is essential for any website that aims to achieve higher visibility and rankings in search engines.

Real-world examples: A real-world example of technical SEO can be the process of making a website mobile-friendly, as Google uses mobile-first indexing.
