Книгодел

An online store where I have led SEO and technical work since 2025. The store belongs to a partner. The case is about the method: steady technical work, week after week, and growth in search.

    Where it started

    When I started in 2025, the pages were slow and heavy. The first Lighthouse checks I recorded were home 38 and product page 78. The technical base needed work before search could move.

    Speed first

    In August 2026 I fixed the heaviest parts. reCAPTCHA now loads only when needed; before, every page loaded 315 KB of script and 124 KB of styles for it. Six images went from 1,569 KB to 32 KB. Page weight fell: home 1,126 → 776 KB, catalogue 964 → 649 KB, product page 1,509 → 1,106 KB. Main-thread work went from 3,010 ms to 800–1,150 ms. Icon fonts, about 238 KB → 18 KB per view, were replaced with own SVG icons.

    Clean technical SEO

    In August 2026 two-step redirect chains became one 301 redirect. Public archives were removed, and PHP errors were hidden from visitors. In October 2026 I pointed 1,227 links in 252 texts straight to their final addresses, with no redirects on the way. I checked structured data (JSON-LD) on 386 product pages, 105 articles and 104 categories, and fixed Open Graph tags. In September 2026 an image-cache fix brought product map generation from about 18 s to 2–4 s. Also in September 2026 the store moved to a new server; before the switch I placed a real test order on the copy.

  5. 5 · Key takeaway

    What it shows

    The work was planned week after week: speed, redirects, links to final addresses, structured data, a server move. Search grew without buying links — links were not bought for this store. That is the method I bring to an online store: fix the technical base, keep the plan, and watch the search numbers.
Steady technical work, week after week, moves search. No links were bought for this store.
