Half of technical SEO is knowing what Googlebot actually did. On most hosting you cannot find out, because nobody will give you the access logs.
Every recommendation you make is stronger with server-side proof, and that is exactly what most hosting withholds.
Which URLs Googlebot crawled, how often, and what it got back. That is log file analysis, and it needs raw logs rather than a dashboard summarising them for you.
A site restructure is thousands of redirect rules. They are handled at the edge rather than by a plugin walking a database table on every 404.
Aggressive bot protection throttles Googlebot along with everything else, and the first symptom is a crawl budget quietly collapsing. Legitimate crawlers are treated as such.
A crawlable staging copy competes with the client's live site. It is blocked at the platform level rather than by a robots setting that a deploy can overwrite.
Core Web Vitals are measured on real visits. A fast origin and consistent edge delivery are what make lab improvements show up in field data at all.
Why are these pages not indexed. Why did traffic drop after the migration. Both are answerable from logs and redirect behaviour, and unanswerable without them.
Core Web Vitals are measured on real visits from real connections, so consistency across every page matters more than a single good score.
You need proof and you need control over how the site responds to crawlers. Each row is one of those.
| Setting | What we do | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Log access | Raw access logs provided rather than summarised | Log file analysis answers which URLs Googlebot actually requested and what it received, and a dashboard has already thrown away the detail that matters. |
| Redirect handling | Resolved at the edge ahead of the application | A restructure produces thousands of rules, and a plugin evaluating them on every 404 makes the migration itself into a performance problem. |
| Crawler treatment | Legitimate bots exempted from rate limiting | Bot protection that throttles Googlebot shows up as a slow collapse in crawl budget, which is diagnosed months later if at all. |
| Staging indexing | Blocked at the platform, not by a file a deploy can overwrite | An indexed staging copy competes directly with the client site it was cloned from, and robots.txt is the file most likely to be replaced by a deployment. |
| Response consistency | Kept even across templates and page types | Field data is collected across every page a visitor reaches, so one slow template drags an otherwise healthy score for the whole site. |
Every plan includes free migration, daily backups, SSL and 24/7 support.
Move client sites across — migration is free, logs available from day one.
