SEO is more than backlinks. SEO is more than domain authority. It is a function of 200+ parameters. ​


Why should a search engine prefer your website to other websites?

If you answer this question, you will be able to understand SEO properly. These are the crucial factors that need to be taken care of, for a better ranking in Google Search.

  1. ​Content Quality
  2. Content Frequency
  3. Page Speed
  4. Readability
  5. User Experience​​

If your website or blog is performing extremely well in these 5 pillars, then you should be performing well in the Google search. Make sure to form a good content strategy around the topics and keywords that you want to rank.

Pagespeed is a direct ranking factor in the Google search ranking algorithm​

You should check your website or blog's speed using google's official audit tool. In addition to speed, this tool will show you how your site is performing in various factors. These are called Core Web Vitals.
