Technical SEO Audit — 2026-05-02

TL;DR

Resolved (verified): /practice-areas/bicycle-accidents/ (was 404, high inlinks) and /resources/blog/ (was 404). Both now 301 to working pages.
New: H1 duplicate blog: latest insights on /category/premises-liability/ and /category/personal-injury-attorneys/ (visible because /resources/blog/ now redirects to one of these).
Persistent: 2 doubled-path 301s leaking equity. H1 duplicate louisville car accident lawyers across /practice-areas/car-accident-lawyer/ and /locations/louisville/. Title duplicate Premises Liability Attorneys across /category/premises-liability/ and /practice-areas/premises-liability/.

Crawl source notes

SF crawl folder for 2026-05-02 not present (Saturday — SF wrapper is Monday-only).
Python headless fallback used.
Concurrent crawl: 368 URLs requested, 128 returned 200, 240 returned 403 (Cloudflare bot mitigation).
Single-thread re-verification of 25 random samples returned 25/25 200. Concluded 4xx flags are crawler-side false positives, not site issues.
Title/meta/H1/canonical analysis trustworthy only for the 128 successfully fetched URLs.

Real, persistent issues

Issue	Detail	Severity
Doubled-path 301: /about-us/about-us/bigger-share-guarantee/ → /about-us/bigger-share-guarantee/	Source URL exists internally and 301s to canonical	LOW
Doubled-path 301: /practice-areas/practice-areas/premises-liability/ → /practice-areas/premises-liability/	Same pattern	LOW
H1 duplicate: `louisville car accident lawyers`	/practice-areas/car-accident-lawyer/ vs /locations/louisville/	MEDIUM
H1 duplicate: `blog: latest insights` (NEW)	/category/premises-liability/ vs /category/personal-injury-attorneys/	LOW
Title duplicate: `Premises Liability Attorneys ...`	/category/premises-liability/ vs /practice-areas/premises-liability/	MEDIUM

Recommendations

Wait for Monday SF crawl to lock in whether yesterday's other duplicate-title / meta / h1-missing / mixed-content URLs were genuinely fixed.
Consider noindex on /category/* archive pages if they aren't core content hubs.
Differentiate louisville car accident lawyers H1 between practice-area and location pages.
Audit internal links for /about-us/about-us/... and /practice-areas/practice-areas/... patterns; fix internal references to skip the 301 hop.
Consider redirecting /resources/blog/ to a curated index instead of a category archive.

Crawler infrastructure note

Cloudflare bot mitigation now actively challenges concurrent fetches even with Chrome UA. For weekend Python runs coverage is dropping to ~35%. QA recommendation included to address.
