From an SEO finding to evidence you can check.
LoveIslands.uk is an independently operated fan site and a practical project for demonstrating technical SEO. This is an audit baseline and implementation record; search growth has not yet been verified.
What the audit established
A standard audit combined bounded HTTP crawling, Search Console CSV exports, Analytics reports, rendered pages and three mobile PageSpeed tests. Tool-assisted collection and analysis should be distinguished from the project owner’s review and subsequent implementation.
- Search Console recorded 104 clicks and 13,396 Web impressions from 8 August to 7 November 2026.
- Impressions fell from 753 on 21–27 October to 77 on 28 October–3 November. The cause is unconfirmed; indexed URL count increased from 17 to 22 during that period.
- The current sitemap contained 214 URLs. All returned HTTP 200 in the first crawl. Historical and current URL cohorts are kept separate.
- The three mobile PageSpeed tests scored 100 for performance. These are single laboratory tests; real-user Core Web Vitals were unavailable.

Implementation decisions
- Redirect the www host to loveislands.uk while preserving paths and queries.
- Give valid listing pages their own canonical and page title; redirect page 1 to the directory and return 404 for invalid or empty later pages.
- Keep useful unavailable-archive notices with noindex and remove the inherited homepage canonical. Preserve genuine recovered content and original dates.
- Enable optional Analytics using the site’s own stream, with manual page views and evidence-link events after permission.
- Share content reads within a render and defer the recovery snapshot when D1 is available. Worker CPU errors still require production observation.
How to verify the work
Compare HTTP status, Location headers, canonical tags and rendered content with the implementation and checks in the repository. The build instructions make those decisions reviewable; repository access may require the project owner’s permission.

What remains unproven
The audit does not establish the cause of the October visibility drop, a traffic improvement, a field Core Web Vitals pass or an AI recommendation. Analytics is subject to visitor choice and blockers. Follow-up Search Console comparisons need consistent dates and URL cohorts.
