This perspective came from auditing real sitemaps containing useful pages alongside archives, test content, utility pages and low-value URLs. Large URL counts often made the site appear more complete while giving crawlers an unclear picture of what actually mattered. Our approach treats the sitemap as a curated priority map. It should surface valuable, canonical and indexable pages while excluding URLs that serve administrative or temporary purposes. This creates a cleaner relationship between site structure, internal linking and indexation, while helping teams protect important pages during redesigns, migrations and future content expansion.

Technical performance engineering and Core Web Vitals optimization for comoimportarmicoche.es.
Achieved 92+ performance scores on mobile alongside 100/100 ratings in SEO, Best Practices, and Accessibility on a live production WordPress site by streamlining front-end asset delivery and eliminating backend execution bottlenecks.
Key Engineering Highlights:
• Asset Optimization: Minified, combined, and deferred non-critical CSS/JS, significantly reducing render-blocking resources and critical path latency.
• Next-Gen Media Pipeline: Implemented WebP image conversion, explicit aspect ratio dimensions to eliminate Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), and native lazy-loading.
• Clean Architecture: Optimized dynamic database queries and custom PHP scripts to maintain near-instant Server Response Time (TTFB) without relying on heavy caching plugins.
• Core Web Vitals Targets: Focused on Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) and Interaction to Next Paint (INP) to deliver sub-1.5s real-world loading times on mobile devices.

Yeah, this was a cold run in PSI. The DB cleanup was actually huge for TTFB—dropped uncached server response under 200ms, mostly by clearing bloated wp_options and fixing custom loops. Caching handles repeat hits, but the backend fix was the main win.
Roadmap.sh — Making technical learning paths easier to navigate
I worked on a developer-focused roadmap experience that helps make technical learning paths easier to understand and follow.
The goal was to reduce the confusion around what to learn next by showing technologies, concepts, and learning paths in a clear visual structure.
I focused on the UI, interaction, responsiveness, and overall user experience to make the product feel more like a learning journey instead of a static list of technologies.
The main idea was simple: less confusion and more direction for developers.
More pages ≠ better SEO.
A common mistake is creating dozens of pages just to target more keywords.
But if those pages have:
– Thin content
– Similar intent
– Little unique value
– No clear purpose
They can make your site harder to manage and harder for search engines to understand.
Before creating a new page, ask:
“Does this deserve its own page?”
Create pages for users first.
Optimize them for search second.
Useful pages > more pages.

Absolutely agree. SEO isn’t about publishing more pages—it’s about creating genuinely useful pages that satisfy search intent and provide unique value. Quality and purpose should always come before quantity.
