Hypertune SEO: week 1 deliverables

V12: Keyword map and competitor research

Som · Ahrefs and Search Console, 3 to 5 October 2026 · the page-by-page keyword map that Bobby checks (B2), and the inputs for the AI content framework (V8) and the titles draft (C1)

Every volume is monthly searches and says which market it is: US or global. "Average" means Ahrefs' 12-month average; "now" means the latest month in Ahrefs' US history (September 2026). Difficulty is Ahrefs Keyword Difficulty (0 to 100), which only measures backlinks. Traffic potential is Ahrefs' estimate of the monthly visits the #1 page gets from all the searches on that topic: it is closer to what a page could earn than search volume. Search Console figures are all countries.

Summary

1. Arc Raiders and Battlefield 6 should come off the front of the game list. Their averages are launch spikes. US searches for "arc raiders best settings" went from 2,245 (November 2025) to 3 (September 2026); "battlefield 6 best settings" from 2,728 (October 2025) to 10. Black Ops 7 faded the same way. CS2, Fortnite, Apex, Warzone, Marvel Rivals and Rust are steady. WARDOGS is launching now (12 searches in August, 861 in September). Suggested order: CS2 and Fortnite, then WARDOGS and Apex, then Call of Duty (Warzone) and Marvel Rivals, then Rust and Valorant, then The Finals, Tarkov and Overwatch 2. Check Google Trends worldwide for Arc Raiders and Battlefield 6 before dropping them (about 5 minutes).
2. The brand trust and pricing searches get their own pages first. In five weeks of Search Console data (27 Aug to 30 Sep): "is hypertune free / free trial / price" 821 impressions, "is hypertune legit / safe" 442, "does hypertune work / worth it / good" 418, "hypertune crack" 193, "hypertune reviews" 182. Hypertune already ranks 1 to 6 for all of them, so these need pages, not links, and they decide the day-90 target of 10% click rate on trust searches (2.0% now).
3. The homepage is on page one for its target terms; keep "pc optimization for gaming" as its primary. Position 7, 504 impressions in 3 months, US 233 now. But the top 10 for it is all how-to guides (Reddit, forums, HP, an iObit blog), not product pages, so the gaming guide (C3) may outrank the homepage for it in time. If that happens, let it.
4. The gaming guide (C3) is still worth writing, but expect hundreds of visits, not thousands. "how to optimize pc for gaming" has US 2,824 searches now and is steady all year, not a spike. But the results are Reddit, YouTube, TikTok and an AI Overview, so few searches turn into clicks: Ahrefs puts traffic potential at 40 for this phrasing and 1,200 for "optimize pc for gaming", which it treats as the same topic. It is informational, so it earns readers, not buyers, unless it links into Hypertune at the right step.
5. Game pages target "best [game] settings pc". Ahrefs files "cs2 fps boost" under the topic "best cs2 settings for fps" (traffic potential 400), and the settings phrasing has more searches for almost every game. The trade-off: settings searches are informational. Each page keeps "[game] fps boost" and "[game] optimizer" in the H2s and links to Hypertune where it automates the steps.
6. No two planned pages compete for the same results. Of 22 keywords whose top 10 was pulled, the homepage term and the gaming guide term share no URLs; the three CS2 pages (game page, launch options, stuttering) share none. The only overlap is "fps booster" and "best pc optimizer for gaming" (Razer Cortex and Hone in both), which are on different horizons.
7. "pc optimizer" and "pc optimizer for gaming" are weaker than their volumes suggest. The top 10 for "pc optimizer" (US 1,200) is Windows cleaner software (McAfee, Microsoft forums), not gaming. Ahrefs files "pc optimizer for gaming" under "razer cortex" (traffic potential 11,000), meaning Razer's page takes the clicks. Both stay off the homepage; the second goes to the comparison page as a secondary.
8. Two guides a small site can win: "cs2 launch options" (US 552 now, steady; global 5,200 average; sites with authority 15 to 39 rank #5 to #7) and "best bios settings for gaming" (US 250 / global 700 average; an authority-16 site ranks #6). The BIOS guide replaces the five current BIOS guides, which are indexed but had 1 impression between them in 3 months (V7 section G).
9. Reddit and YouTube are in almost every AI Overview. On 3 October, 13 of 17 US keywords showed an AI Overview; YouTube was cited in 12. This supports the Reddit and Quora work (V20) and Vin's YouTube plan (V18). Hypertune was cited in none.

What the data can and cannot tell us

• Ahrefs badly under-counts Hypertune. It shows hypertune.gg with 12 keywords and about 1,400 visits a month; Search Console shows 11,300 clicks in 28 days. Use Search Console for Hypertune's own traffic and Ahrefs for market volumes and competitors.
• Averages hide launches. Ahrefs' volume is a 12-month average. For any game released in the last year, use the "now" column.
• Volume history is US only and estimated. Small monthly numbers jump around; treat anything under about 100 a month as noise, and differences under 100 as ties.
• Global volume includes markets Hypertune can't sell to. Iran is the second-largest market for "how to optimize pc for gaming" (1,000 of global 4,600). Until Austin shares paying customers by country (V19), lean on US and the markets in Hypertune's Search Console top ten (US, UK, Germany, Spain, Australia, Russia, Canada, Turkey, India, Brazil, France).
• Difficulty 0 is not "easy". It means few backlinks among the top 10, not weak content. Hone, Reddit and Steam guides still hold the top spots for most game terms.
• Volume is not buying intent. Nothing here shows which games Hypertune's paying customers play. Game Hub use by game (Austin question 19) should outrank this list.
• The competitor gap is partial: 3 competitors (Hone, Razer Cortex, SageTweaks), US, top 100 keywords each. The smaller sites closest to Hypertune's size (IQON, FPS Heaven) have not been run.
• Not checked yet: "People also ask" questions and video results per keyword. Each brief adds them by hand (V8 step 2).

The keyword map

One primary keyword per page, and no keyword on two pages. Bobby checks it (B2) and keeps it current; the full 437-keyword list sits in the SEO data workbook (V3). Intent is Ahrefs' label. "SC" is Search Console.

Left out on purpose: "pc optimizer" (Windows cleaner intent), "game booster" (US 3,100 / global 61,000, but mostly mobile apps), "hardware accelerated gpu scheduling" (US 9,100, but the top 10 has authority 65 to 96; one strong page later), "input lag" (difficulty 64).

Overlap check. Top 10 URLs compared for 22 keywords pulled on 3 and 4 October. Not yet compared: "pc optimization" with "pc optimization software" (homepage and /technology), and "best [game] settings pc" with "[game] fps boost" for games other than CS2. Bobby runs those two in B2.

Game pages (C4)

How the averages are counted. For each game, seven kinds of search: best settings, fps boost, fps drops, launch options, low fps, optimization and stuttering. Where several phrasings mean the same search ("best cs2 settings", "cs2 best settings"; "bf6" and "battlefield 6"; "apex" and "apex legends"; "overwatch" and "overwatch 2"), only the largest is counted. Call of Duty is Warzone plus Black Ops 7. "US now" is the game's biggest steady search in September 2026, from Ahrefs' US history.

Suggested slot	Game	Average global	Average US	US now	Trend
12 Oct	CS2	11,950	1,470	launch options 552; stuttering 508	Steady
12 Oct	Fortnite	2,230	970	best settings pc 298	Steady
19 Oct	WARDOGS	810	180	best settings 861	Launching now. Like Arc Raiders, it will fade within months: publish now or skip. Needs Austin to confirm Hypertune supports it
19 Oct	Apex Legends	1,500	470	best settings pc 221	Steady
26 Oct	Call of Duty (Warzone first)	1,190	640	Warzone best settings pc 220; Black Ops 7 15	Warzone steady; Black Ops 7 peaked at 620 in November 2025
26 Oct	Marvel Rivals	2,400	730	launch options 165; best settings 150	Down from 3,076 at launch (January 2025), steady since
2 Nov	Rust	1,820	360	launch options 80	Small but steady, plus brand searches (below)
2 Nov	Valorant	2,200	360	best settings 74; low client fps US 200 average	Steady. The old /game/valorant URL still had 433 impressions in 3 months (V7), so reusing it helps
9 Nov	The Finals	860	300	best settings 72	Steady
9 Nov	Escape from Tarkov	1,370	350	best settings 71	Steady, with wipe spikes
9 Nov	Overwatch 2	810	240	low fps 57	Steady
Ask Austin	Deadlock	3,550	1,060	stuttering 191	Steady since its February spike; still in playtest
Dropped	Arc Raiders	4,600	1,240	best settings 3; stuttering 8	Peaked November 2025, gone by April 2026
Dropped	Battlefield 6	2,680	660	best settings 10; stuttering 9	Peaked October 2025, gone by April 2026

A big update or new season can bring a dropped game back; Bobby rechecks the "now" column monthly.

Roblox is outside the shooters-only list but has demand under other phrasings: "roblox fps booster" global 2,000 and "fps booster roblox" global 1,200. Flag for the Q1 content plan (N4).

Brand plus game searches (Search Console, 3 months). "hypertune rust" had 100 clicks from 182 impressions, all to the homepage, which has nothing about Rust. "hellis rust" also shows, and Hypertune has a creator link ?am_id=hellis, so this may be one creator's audience; not verified. Check visits with am_id=hellis in analytics before using it as a reason to move Rust up. "hypertune marvel rivals" had 34 clicks from 365 impressions, but "team hypertune marvel rivals" also shows, so some of it may be an esports team called Hypertune (Austin question 20).

What ranks for game searches. Hone's /game/ pages rank #4 to #6 for Valorant, Fortnite and CS2 FPS terms, and for "[game] optimizer" and "[game] optimization" ("fortnite optimization" US 150 at #4, "valorant optimization" US 60 at #2). SageTweaks' and IQON's per-game guides sit alongside. For "cs2 fps boost": Reddit #2, FPS Heaven #5, Hone #6, a Steam guide, xplay.gg.

What every game page brief needs, from what ranks: the in-game settings with exact values, Windows and driver steps, the stutter fixes first, a short "is it safe with anti-cheat" section, and where Hypertune automates the steps. The page structure is in V8 section 3.1; the order is V8 section 8.

Hypertune's non-brand searches (Search Console)

Three months to 3 October, all countries, brand and misspellings removed (top 100 non-brand queries: 4,158 impressions, 398 clicks). Nearly all land on the homepage. For the 28-day baseline (143 non-brand clicks) see the report summary.

Competitor keyword gaps (US)

Non-brand keywords where Hone, Razer Cortex or SageTweaks rank in the top 30 and Hypertune does not (73 keywords; partial, see above). The ones that fit are already in the map: "best bios settings for gaming", "pc optimization software", "pc optimizer free", "best pc optimizer for gaming". One more is a maybe: "packet burst" (US 300, Hone #6 with a blog post), only if Hypertune fixes network issues. The rest does not fit: Hone's biggest blog traffic is off-topic (Roblox song IDs, controller settings, mobile games), and most of Razer's is for its clip recorder and launcher.

Competitors (global)

Site	Authority (DR)	Est. monthly search traffic	Keywords	What earns their traffic
hypertune.gg	15	1,418	12	Brand only in Ahrefs (Search Console: 11,300 clicks in 28 days)
hone.gg	46	94,990	5,323	Mostly off-topic Roblox codes. On-topic: ExitLag comparison, "how to reduce lag on PC", Valorant low-FPS fix, system requirements pages, 8 translated homepages
exitlag.com	71	532,279	27,395	Network and ping tool; adjacent, not a direct rival
lagofast.com	60	61,784	7,755	Game release dates, VPN comparisons, translated homepages
gamebooster.itopvpn.com	72	7,623	440	"game booster" #2, "fps booster" #2, free tools: FPS calculator, "can I run it"
boosterx.org	17	1,789	90	Brand and "fps booster" #3
iqondigital.com	38	1,004	396	A /learn library: stuttering, Game Mode, VRR, fullscreen vs windowed, GPU scheduling, per-game settings
fpsheaven.com	7	801	172	CS2 launch options #7, CS2 practice config
risxntweaks.com	24	96	23	Small
sagetweaks.com	0.3	101	63	Small

What to copy: IQON's explainer library and FPS Heaven's CS2 pages show that sites with authority under 40 can rank with specific, settings-level guides. iTop shows free tools earn links and traffic; a possible Q1 idea. "windows game mode" (US 1,000 / global 2,200, difficulty 1) is an easier explainer than GPU scheduling.

Who the AI Overview cites

US results, one day (3 October), 17 keywords. AI Overviews change often; the monthly prompt run (audit 13.2) repeats this.

Cited	Keywords
YouTube	12 of the 13 AI Overviews (all except razer cortex alternative)
Reddit	pc optimization for gaming, how to increase fps, cs2 fps boost, fortnite fps boost, low fps on high end pc, cs2 stuttering fix, valorant fps drops, razer cortex alternative
Intel	how to increase fps, fortnite fps boost, low fps on high end pc
Hone	fortnite fps boost, razer cortex alternative
SageTweaks	best pc optimizer for gaming
Razer, BoosterX, Microsoft Store	fps booster

Decisions this research feeds

V8 section 8 turns these into defaults for Vin to approve:

1. Game page order: CS2 and Fortnite, then WARDOGS (if Austin confirms support) and Apex, then Call of Duty and Marvel Rivals, then Rust and Valorant, then The Finals, Tarkov and Overwatch 2. Arc Raiders and Battlefield 6 dropped unless Google Trends shows them alive. Ask Austin about Deadlock.
2. Game page primary: "best [game] settings pc", with fps boost, launch options, stuttering and low FPS as sections.
3. Trust and pricing pages get the brand questions in the trust table; they come before new game pages if Kamil has to choose.
4. /technology primary: "pc optimization software". /expert-tuning: "pc optimization service".
5. Problem pages: "cs2 stuttering" replaces "rust stuttering fix".
6. A CS2 launch options guide, and one "best bios settings for gaming" guide replacing the five BIOS guides.
7. Homepage title leads with "PC optimization for gaming".
8. "razer cortex alternative" folds into the best optimizer comparison for now.

Owner and refresh. Som owns this map until Bobby's check on Tue 6 Oct; then Bobby keeps it current (B2). Recheck the game "now" column and the trust queries monthly, and the AI Overview citations with the monthly prompt run.

Method

Ahrefs API v3, 3 to 5 October 2026: keyword overview (34 keywords US; 120 game phrasings global and US), top 10 results (17 keywords US, 5 global), organic keywords for hypertune.gg, hone.gg, razer.com/cortex and sagetweaks.com (US, top 30, 100 rows each), organic competitors (US), site metrics and top pages for 10 competitors, matching terms for 17 seed topics (global volume 150 or more), volume by country for 4 keywords, US volume history for 21 keywords (5 Oct), and the Search Console data in the Ahrefs project linked to hypertune.gg (top 100 non-brand queries, clicks by country). Brand-plus-game queries checked in Search Console directly on 4 Oct. Brand trust queries from the audit (section 8.2, Search Console 27 Aug to 30 Sep). About 57,750 Ahrefs units in total. The raw exports are kept with Som's working files.

Changes since the first draft

• 5 Oct: retitled "Keyword map and competitor research" and added the page-by-page map, including the trust and pricing pages. Added traffic potential and intent. Pulled US volume history: Arc Raiders and Battlefield 6 dropped from the front of the game order (launch spikes); WARDOGS moved up; game table re-sorted by current demand. "how to optimize pc for gaming" kept, with a lower estimate of the visits it can bring. Top 10 overlap checked for 22 keywords. "pc optimizer" moved off the homepage. The Hellis link marked unverified. Limits added for global volume, difficulty and the one-day AI Overview snapshot.
• 4 Oct: merged the 3 Oct and 4 Oct pulls into one version. "game booster" dropped (mobile apps). Game totals recounted so near-duplicate phrasings count once (Battlefield 6 5,790 → 2,680, Apex Legends 2,920 → 1,500, Call of Duty 1,740 → 1,190). The BIOS merge reason changed from "not indexed" to "indexed but no impressions". Added the brand-plus-game searches.

V6: Speed fix list for hypertune.gg

For: Austin, to submit in Linear for Kamil, one ticket per fix From: Som Date: Mon 5 Oct 2026 Target: homepage fix 1 live and re-tested Fri 9 Oct; every later fix re-tested the day it ships

Where we are

Homepage, mobile, PageSpeed Insights, 2 Oct 2026 (Vin):

Measure	Now	Google's target
Performance score	61	90 or more
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), lab	6.4 s	2.5 s or less
LCP, real visitors on phones (field)	2.8 s, fails Core Web Vitals	2.5 s or less
Page weight	4.1 MB	No fixed target; smaller is faster
Unused JavaScript	about 497 KB	As close to 0 as possible

The field figure (2.8 s) is PageSpeed's whole-site Chrome data. Search Console's Core Web Vitals report has no page-level data for hypertune.gg (checked 4 Oct, see V7 section G), so progress is tracked with the PageSpeed lab score below, not in Search Console.

LCP is the time until the biggest thing on the first screen has loaded. On phones, that is the "Claim now" promo banner at the bottom of the first screen (/images/blocks/promo/discount_mobile.png), and it is set to load late (lazy-loaded).

How the list was built: Vin's 2 Oct diagnosis, plus a fresh Lighthouse mobile run on 3 Oct to name the exact files. That run scored lower (Performance 38, LCP 14.6 s) because it ran on a laptop with heavier slow-down settings, so its timings are not the baseline. Use it only for which files to fix and for its relative savings. Som keeps the raw Lighthouse report and can share it.

The effort figures below are my rough estimates. Kamil should confirm them before Austin sets dates.

Fixes, in priority order

1. Load the mobile promo banner straight away (homepage, mobile)

• What to change: the <img> for discount_mobile.png inside the "Claim now" link (data-ht-label="promo-annual") has loading="lazy". In the Next.js <Image> for it, add the priority prop (or set loading="eager" and fetchPriority="high"). The desktop banner (annual_discount_green.png) already has priority; the mobile one was missed.
• Pages: homepage. Check whether the same promo component is used on other pages; if so, the fix carries over.
• Expected effect: Lighthouse estimates about 2.2 s off LCP on its own. The 3 Oct run also shows most of the LCP time is the browser waiting for JavaScript before it can draw the banner (fixes 3 to 5), so fix 1 alone may not reach 2.5 s.
• How to check: run the homepage on pagespeed.web.dev, Mobile. Under "Largest Contentful Paint element" the banner should no longer show the warning "Largest Contentful Paint image was lazily loaded". Log the score and lab LCP below.
• Effort: under 1 hour.

2. Stop the hero video eating the first load on phones (homepage, mobile)

• What to change: the mobile hero video /videos/hero/intro_v2_mobile_compressed.mp4 is 1.37 MB, the largest file on the page (about a third of the 4.1 MB). Show a still poster image first and start loading the video only after the page has loaded, or use a smaller file on mobile. Kamil to pick whichever is simplest in the current hero component.
• Pages: homepage.
• Expected effect: about 1.3 MB less to download before the page settles, which leaves bandwidth for the banner and scripts. No exact LCP figure in the report; to be measured.
• How to check: pagespeed.web.dev, Mobile: total page size (under "Avoid enormous network payloads") should fall by about 1.3 MB. The video should still play once the page is ready.
• Effort: 1 to 3 hours.

3. Load tracking tags after the page, not before (all pages)

• What to change: load the marketing and analytics tags after the page has loaded (for example Next.js <Script strategy="lazyOnload">, or a delay in Google Tag Manager). Tags on the homepage: Google Analytics (G-MHWGLY4TPD), Google Ads (AW-16466588746), Meta pixel, Microsoft Clarity, Reddit pixel, X (Twitter) pixel, Bing Ads, Cloudflare Insights, and the affiliate script affiliate.hypertune.gg/a.js (currently preloaded).
• Pages: every page (they are site-wide).
• Expected effect: in the 3 Oct run, third-party code blocked the main thread for 870 ms. Google Tag Manager and Meta together are about 570 KB of download and about 200 KB of the unused JavaScript.
• Decision for Austin: the affiliate script must still record ?am_id= visits, and Google Ads and Meta must still count purchases. Kamil should test one purchase and one affiliate visit after the change.
• How to check: pagespeed.web.dev, Mobile: "Total Blocking Time" and "Reduce the impact of third-party code" should both drop. Ads and analytics dashboards should show no drop in conversions the following day.
• Effort: 2 to 4 hours, plus testing.

4. Load the sign-in code only where people sign in (homepage and other marketing pages)

• What to change: the Clerk sign-in scripts load on the homepage, and ui.browser.js is preloaded twice. Lighthouse marks most of their code as unused: ui-common (89 KB unused), clerk.browser.js (63 KB), vendors_ui (37 KB), ui.browser.js (34 KB). Load Clerk only on /sign-in, /get-started and account pages, or when someone clicks Sign in, and remove the duplicate preload tag.
• Pages: homepage, /technology, /expert-tuning, /tutorial and any other marketing page that loads Clerk.
• Expected effect: about 220 KB less unused JavaScript, close to half of the 497 KB.
• How to check: pagespeed.web.dev, Mobile: under "Reduce unused JavaScript", no clerk.hypertune.gg files should appear on the homepage. Sign-in should still work.
• Effort: half a day to a day, depending on how Clerk wraps the app. Kamil to confirm.

5. Cut the main site script that blocks the phone (all pages)

• What to change: one site file, /_next/static/chunks/0-4srap-ffvu1.js, took most of the processing time in the 3 Oct run (about 13 s of the 25 s of main-thread work on a slowed-down phone). Run the Next.js bundle analyser to see what is in it, then load the sections below the first screen (showcase carousel, testimonials, videos) only when the visitor scrolls to them.
• Pages: homepage first, then /expert-tuning and /technology.
• Expected effect: lower Total Blocking Time, and the banner can be drawn sooner. No reliable figure until Kamil sees what is in the file.
• How to check: pagespeed.web.dev, Mobile: "Reduce JavaScript execution time" and Total Blocking Time should fall.
• Effort: 1 to 2 days. Worth doing after fixes 1 to 4 are re-tested.

6. Serve smaller image files (all pages)

• What to change: the feature images (cpu-overclocking.png, gpu-smart-autoclock.png, memory-optimization.png, network-optimization.png, selective-features.png) are served at 140 to 195 KB each at quality 95. In next.config, set images.formats to AVIF and WebP and lower quality to about 75 to 80.
• Pages: every page using Next.js images; /expert-tuning has 80 images and /technology 16.
• Expected effect: Lighthouse estimates about 896 KB saved on the homepage alone.
• How to check: pagespeed.web.dev, Mobile: "Improve image delivery" should show little or no saving, and page size should fall.
• Effort: 1 to 2 hours, plus a visual check that images still look sharp.

7. Stop sending old-browser code to new browsers (all pages, low priority)

• What to change: set modern browser targets (browserslist) so the build drops old-browser code.
• Expected effect: about 47 KB less JavaScript (Lighthouse estimate).
• How to check: "Avoid serving legacy JavaScript" passes on pagespeed.web.dev.
• Effort: under 1 hour.

While Kamil is in the image code: 18 images have no alt text (3 on the homepage, 3 on /technology, 8 on /expert-tuning, 4 on /tutorial). This does not affect speed but is a quick SEO fix: short descriptive alt text on meaningful images, empty alt="" on decorative ones.

How to re-test

1. Open pagespeed.web.dev, enter https://hypertune.gg/, choose Mobile.
2. Run it twice and log the lower Performance score (single runs vary).
3. Copy the report link into the log.
4. Lab numbers change straight away. The field numbers ("Discover what your real users are experiencing") are a rolling 28-day average of real Chrome visitors, so they move slowly: expect the field LCP to change over 2 to 4 weeks, not by Fri 9 Oct.

Developer handover: week of 5 October

For: Vinny to take Austin through in a meeting. Austin creates the Linear tickets for Kamil from the blocks below. From: Som · prepared Saturday 3 October, to send Monday 5 October with the speed fix list

Every Hypertune fact quoted here (price, refund, claims) is from the V13 fact sheet, the master copy. Austin's open questions across all documents are in one ranked list, Austin's decisions, ranked; the decisions at the end of this pack are its first block.

Each ticket block can be pasted into Linear as it is. Where a ticket needs a decision from Austin first, the decision is written inside the ticket. The decisions are also listed together at the end so Austin can answer them in one go. Effort figures are Som's estimates for Kamil to confirm. Vinny sets the priority order once Kamil's hours are known.

After a ticket ships, Austin tells Vinny. Som re-tests it, logs it, and requests re-indexing in Search Console (Bobby's job in the plan; Som or Vinny does it if he is not available).

---

Tickets due this week and Monday 12 October

These are the dates in the SEO plan: homepage speed fix and new titles live Friday 9 October; indexing fixes live Monday 12 October, then re-indexing is requested.

1. Load the mobile promo banner straight away

• Due: Friday 9 October · Effort: under 1 hour
• Why: on phones, the "Claim now" banner is the biggest thing on the first screen and it loads last, so the homepage is slow (mobile score 61; main content at 6.4 seconds against Google's 2.5).
• Change: on the homepage <Image> for /images/blocks/promo/discount_mobile.png (in the link with data-ht-label="promo-annual"), add priority, or loading="eager" with fetchPriority="high". The desktop banner already has this.
• Done when: pagespeed.web.dev on Mobile no longer warns "Largest Contentful Paint image was lazily loaded". Som re-tests on Friday.

2. Redirect the two old answer pages to /technology

• Due: Monday 12 October · Effort: under 1 hour
• Why: the "what Hypertune changes" and "uninstall" answers now live in the /technology FAQ, but the old pages are still live and in the sitemap. Both are indexed but had no search impressions in 3 months, so they add nothing and compete with /technology for the same questions.
• Austin decides first: that both pages redirect to /technology, and whether there is a third page to remove.
• Change: 301 /what-hypertune-changes and /uninstall to /technology, remove both from sitemap.xml, and point the footer links at /technology.
• Done when: each old URL returns one 301 to /technology, and neither is in the sitemap.

4. Hide the internal tools sites from Google

• Due: Monday 12 October · Effort: under 1 hour
• Why: portal.hypertune.gg (890 impressions in the last 3 months) and affiliate.hypertune.gg (179) show in search results, and neither tells Google to leave it out. loggregator.hypertune.gg, an analytics dashboard, had 32 impressions; it should be hidden. Search Console also lists clerk.hypertune.gg (the sign-in service, indexed with no content) among the 15 indexed pages; it needs hiding too if Clerk's settings allow it.
• Austin decides first: whether customers should find the portal by searching, whether the affiliate landing page should be findable for "Hypertune affiliate program", and whether the logging site can go behind a login.
• Change: add the response header X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow to every response from the logging site, and from the portal and affiliate pages Austin wants hidden (on the affiliate site, at least the login and dashboard). A Cloudflare rule covers every page at once. Do not block these sites in robots.txt: Google has to be able to fetch a page to see the noindex.
• Done when: the response headers on each site show x-robots-tag: noindex.

5. Point affiliate-code links at the clean page

• Due: Monday 12 October · Effort: under 1 hour
• Why: creator links add ?am_id= to URLs. The homepage already tells Google the clean URL is the real one (its canonical tag); the other pages need to do the same. Today the only ?am_id= URLs in search are on sign-in and onboarding pages, which are already hidden, so this is a check to keep it that way.
• Change: on every indexable page, the canonical tag is the URL without ?am_id=. Keep noindex on /sign-in, /get-started and /onboarding.
• Done when: /technology?am_id=test and /expert-tuning?am_id=test both show a canonical without ?am_id=.

6. Replace the compready.gg catch-all redirect with a list

• Due: Monday 12 October, or as soon as Austin finds where the redirect is set · Effort: 1 to 2 hours
• Why: every compready.gg URL, real or not, goes to /expert-tuning. Google treats that as a broken page, so old links to the legal, FAQ and product pages pass little value.
• Austin decides first: where the compready.gg redirects are set today and who can edit them, and whether unknown old URLs show a 404 or keep going to /expert-tuning.
• Change: one 301 per old URL from the table in Indexing fix specs section D. compready.gg/ and www.compready.gg/ stay on /expert-tuning. Do not set up enterprise.compready.gg: the 1,026 sites linking to it are spam, and it should stay switched off.
• Done when: 5 to 10 old URLs from the table each return one 301 to their target.

7. New titles, descriptions and headings

• Due: Friday 9 October · Effort: 1 to 2 hours
• Not ready on Monday: Som sends the final table on Wednesday 7 October, after the keyword check (Bobby's, or Vinny's if Bobby is not available). Austin signs off the homepage before it goes to Kamil.
• Change: update the title, meta description and main heading on every page in the final table, and add the image alt text it lists.
• Done when: each page's title and description match the final table.

8. Remove the claims that break the rules

• Due: Friday 9 October, with ticket 7 · Effort: 1 to 2 hours
• Why: the live site says "Trusted by Riot, EAC, BattlEye, Valve" (homepage and its meta description), "Trusted by Vanguard, FACEIT, EAC, and BattlEye" (/tutorial), "Verified by all major anti-cheats" and "used by Tier-1 pros" (/technology FAQ). It names creators (Shroud, Subroza, Tarik, ShaZam, Marved), and its before-and-after figures (130 to 210 FPS) show a 62% gain against the "up to 60%" claim.
• Austin decides first: the one anti-cheat statement he will stand behind; whether we have written permission for any creator names; and the corrected before-and-after figures.
• Change: Som writes the replacement lines once Austin has decided, and sends them with ticket 7. Kamil swaps them in.
• Done when: none of those phrases appears on the live site.

9. Turn on IndexNow

• Due: Friday 9 October, before tickets 7 and 8 go live · Effort: minutes
• Why: IndexNow tells Bing, plus Yandex and other search engines, about changed pages within minutes, so Bing does not need a manual re-index request after each change. Bing has all 15 sitemap pages indexed (Bing Webmaster Tools, 5 Oct); this keeps it current as titles, redirects and new pages ship.
• Change: if hypertune.gg runs through Cloudflare (the V7 specs assume it does), turn on Caching > Configuration > Crawler Hints in the Cloudflare dashboard. It is one switch, and Kamil or Austin can turn it on. If the site is not on Cloudflare, Kamil adds an IndexNow key file and pings the IndexNow API when pages change (about 1 hour).
• Done when: Crawler Hints shows as on, and Bing Webmaster Tools > IndexNow lists URLs submitted after the 9 October changes.

Later tickets, in priority order

No dates in the SEO plan beyond "each fix re-tested as it ships". Vinny and Austin set the order against Kamil's hours. Detail in Speed fix list.

#	Ticket	Effort	Why
10	Load the mobile hero video after the page (intro_v2_mobile_compressed.mp4, 1.37 MB)	1 to 3 hours	A third of the homepage's weight on phones
11	Load tracking tags after the page. Austin decides first: OK to test with one purchase and one affiliate visit, so affiliate and ad conversions still count	2 to 4 hours plus testing	Tags block the phone for about 0.9 seconds on every page
12	Load the Clerk sign-in code only on sign-in and account pages	Half a day to a day	About 220 KB of unused code on every marketing page
13	Serve smaller images (AVIF and WebP, quality 75 to 80)	1 to 2 hours	About 900 KB saved on the homepage
14	Split the main site script and load below-the-fold sections on scroll	1 to 2 days	One file takes most of the phone's processing time
15	Drop old-browser code (modern browserslist targets)	Under 1 hour	About 47 KB less code

Decisions for Austin, all in one place

Needed by Wednesday 7 October so Kamil can ship by Monday 12 October, unless marked.

1. Old answer pages: redirect /what-hypertune-changes and /uninstall to /technology? Is there a third page to remove? (ticket 2)
2. Game page URLs: what pattern will the new game pages use? (game pages)
3. Internal sites: should the portal be findable in search? Should the affiliate landing page be? Can the logging site go behind a login? (ticket 4)
4. compready.gg: where are its redirects set, and who can edit them? Do unknown old URLs show a 404 or go to /expert-tuning? (ticket 6)
5. Claims: which anti-cheat statement he will stand behind; written permission for any creator names; the corrected before-and-after figures. (ticket 8)
6. Tracking test: OK for Kamil to test one purchase and one affiliate visit after moving the tags? (ticket 11, when it is scheduled)
7. getmorefps.com: what is it, and is it still used? It forwards mostly spam links to the homepage. No ticket until he answers.

Two questions that are not for Kamil but are needed this week for the titles and the trust page:

8. Price, trial and refund: confirm $59.99 a year and $9.99 a month (live on 4 Oct); is there still a free trial (the footer says "Try for free") or only the 7-day money-back guarantee (the /technology FAQ); which refund policy is right (the help centre makes it depend on an FPS check, the site FAQ does not, and the terms exclude renewals)?
9. Help centre: who at Hypertune fixes the six wrong help centre articles listed in Help centre facts to correct? They are edited in Freshdesk, not in the site code.

Austin's decisions, ranked

For: Vinny to take Austin through, with the handover pack From: Som · Sunday 4 October 2026

The week 1 documents carry about 85 "Austin to confirm" tags and questions. Many ask the same thing in different places (the price alone appears in six). This list folds them into 31 questions, in three blocks:

• Block 1 stops Kamil shipping on Monday 12 October. Needed by Wednesday 7 October.
• Block 2 stops a page going live: the trust page (Mon 12 Oct), the CS2 and Fortnite game pages, the pricing page. Needed by Friday 9 October.
• Block 3 can wait until the directory listings and schema work (from 12 October) or Q1.

One answer closes every tag that asks the same thing. Where it says "Source", that is where the full context is.

Block 1: blocks Kamil on Monday 12 October (by Wed 7 Oct)

Hypertune site changes

For the website developer · from Som · Monday 5 October 2026

These are the website changes that help Hypertune show up in Google and Bing and load faster on phones. They are numbered in the order to do them. Austin assigns each change and creates the tickets.

Each change has a plain-English purpose, then the technical steps and a check that it worked. If you know a faster way, or a change would clash with something else on the site, tell Austin before starting. Effort figures are Som's estimates; correct them if they are wrong.

After anything ships, tell Austin. Som re-tests it and asks Google and Bing to look at the pages again.

Summary

Start now

#	Change	What it achieves	Due	Effort

2	Turn on IndexNow	Bing and other search engines hear about changed pages the same day, instead of weeks later	Fri 9 Oct, before 3	Minutes
3	New page titles, descriptions, headings and image descriptions	Pages match what people type into Google, so they rank higher and more people click. Set up from the drafts now; final text from Som on Wed 7 Oct	Fri 9 Oct	2 to 3 h

5	Make image files smaller	Saves about 900 KB on the homepage with no visible difference	Not set	1 to 2 h
6	Load the sign-in code only on sign-in pages	Removes about 220 KB of code from pages where nobody signs in	Not set	Half a day to a day
7	Stop sending code for old browsers	About 47 KB less for every visitor	Not set	Under 1 h

Austin sets the order of 4 to 7 against your hours.

On hold: wait for Austin's go-ahead

#	Change	What it achieves	Waiting for	Due	Effort
8	Send two old pages to the Technology page	Stops two out-of-date pages competing with /technology in Google	Austin confirms both pages go, and whether a third goes too	Mon 12 Oct	Under 1 h

Last

#	Change	What it achieves	Effort
12	Split the site's main script and load lower sections as visitors scroll	Phones do far less work when the page first opens	1 to 2 days, after the rest

Details for the developer

Speed was measured 3 October on pagespeed.web.dev, mobile: homepage score 61, Largest Contentful Paint 6.4 s (Google's limit is 2.5 s). To re-test, run the homepage on Mobile twice and keep the lower score.

1. Show the mobile promo banner straight away. In the homepage <Image> for /images/blocks/promo/discount_mobile.png (inside the link with data-ht-label="promo-annual"), add priority, or loading="eager" with fetchPriority="high". The desktop banner already has priority. If the promo component is used on other pages, the fix carries over. Purpose: on phones this banner is the largest thing on the first screen, and it is set to load last, so it holds the whole page at 6.4 seconds. Done when: PageSpeed no longer warns "Largest Contentful Paint image was lazily loaded".

2. Turn on IndexNow. In Cloudflare, turn on Caching > Configuration > Crawler Hints. If the site is not on Cloudflare, add an IndexNow key file and ping the IndexNow API when pages change (about 1 hour). Purpose: tells Bing, Yandex and others about changed pages straight away, so change 3 shows in their results within days. Turn it on before change 3 ships. Done when: Crawler Hints is on, and Bing Webmaster Tools > IndexNow lists URLs submitted after Friday's changes.

3. New page titles, descriptions, headings and image descriptions. Purpose: the title and description are what people see in Google's results, so they decide whether a page ranks for the right searches and whether people click. Each page should have one main heading (H1) so search engines know its topic. Image descriptions (alt text) tell search engines and screen readers what each image shows.

The values below are drafts so you can prepare. The final table arrives on Wednesday 7 October; ship only that version. Titles stay under 60 characters and descriptions under 155.

alt="": footer lightning-1/2/3.png and crypto.svg; play-button.svg and play-button-brand.svg (give the button aria-label="Play video"); on /expert-tuning, hero/expert-tuning-background.jpg (if it sits behind text), how-it-works/background-whole.png, cpu-light.png, and every arrow image.

Some images without alt text are added in the browser, not the server HTML: Bing counts 5 on the homepage (the list above covers 3) and 4 on /tutorial. Find them with DevTools (document.querySelectorAll('img:not([alt])')) and apply the same rule.

4. Load the homepage video after the rest of the page on phones. /videos/hero/intro_v2_mobile_compressed.mp4 is 1.37 MB. Show a poster image first and load the video after the page has loaded, or serve a smaller file on mobile. Purpose: the video is a third of the homepage's weight and downloads before anything else on a phone. Done when: total page size falls by about 1.3 MB and the video still plays.

5. Make image files smaller. In next.config, set images.formats to AVIF and WebP and quality to 75 to 80. Purpose: the feature images are 140 to 195 KB each at quality 95. Smaller formats save about 900 KB on the homepage with no visible difference. Done when: "Improve image delivery" shows little or no saving and images still look sharp.

6. Load the sign-in code only on sign-in pages. Load the Clerk scripts only on /sign-in, /get-started and account pages, or on clicking Sign in. Remove the duplicate preload of ui.browser.js. Purpose: about 220 KB of sign-in code (ui-common, clerk.browser.js, vendors_ui, ui.browser.js) loads on every marketing page, where nobody signs in. Done when: no clerk.hypertune.gg files appear under "Reduce unused JavaScript" on the homepage, and sign-in still works.

7. Stop sending code for old browsers. Set modern browserslist targets. Purpose: about 47 KB of code is shipped only for browsers our visitors do not use. Done when: "Avoid serving legacy JavaScript" passes.

8. Send two old pages to the Technology page. 301 /what-hypertune-changes and /uninstall to /technology, remove both from sitemap.xml, and point the footer links at /technology. Purpose: their content is already in the /technology FAQ. The old pages get no searches themselves and compete with /technology for the same questions. Done when: each returns one 301 to /technology and neither is in the sitemap.

9. Hide the internal tool sites from Google. Add the response header X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow to every response from loggregator.hypertune.gg, and from the affiliate login and dashboard on affiliate.hypertune.gg and the relevant parts of portal.hypertune.gg (Austin confirms which). One Cloudflare rule per host covers it. Also clerk.hypertune.gg if Clerk allows it. Do not block these hosts in robots.txt: Google must fetch a page to see noindex. Purpose: these logins and dashboards appear in Google (portal 890 times in 3 months, affiliate 179). They look unprofessional in results and waste Google's attention on pages with no content. Done when: each host's response headers show x-robots-tag: noindex.

10. Send old CompReady links to the matching Hypertune page. Today every compready.gg URL, real or not, 301s to /expert-tuning. Replace that rule with the list below, one 301 each, and send anything not on it to 404. Do not set up enterprise.compready.gg: the sites linking to it are spam. Purpose: Google treats "send everything to one page" as a dead end, so links to the old CompReady site currently pass nothing on. Matching each old page to its closest new page keeps their value. Austin decides: whether unknown URLs return 404 or go to /expert-tuning; where the contact pages go; whether old accounts go to /sign-in.

Old compready.gg path	301 to

www.compready.gg follows the same list. Rows marked "to be confirmed" arrive with the go-ahead. Done when: 5 to 10 paths from the list each return one 301 to their target with no chain, and compready.gg/test-123 returns 404.

11. Load tracking tags after the page. Load these after the page (Next.js <Script strategy="lazyOnload"> or a delay in Google Tag Manager): Google Analytics G-MHWGLY4TPD, Google Ads AW-16466588746, Meta pixel, Microsoft Clarity, Reddit pixel, X pixel, Bing Ads, Cloudflare Insights, and affiliate.hypertune.gg/a.js (remove its preload). Then test one purchase and one ?am_id= visit. Purpose: nine tracking tags load before the page can respond to taps. It is on hold because delaying them must not lose affiliate visits or ad conversions. Done when: Total Blocking Time drops, and affiliate visits, Google Ads and Meta conversions still record the next day.

12. Split the site's main script. Run the bundle analyser on /_next/static/chunks/0-4srap-ffvu1.js, then load the showcase carousel, testimonials and videos when the visitor scrolls to them. Purpose: this one file takes about 13 of the 25 seconds of work a slowed phone does to open the homepage. Done when: "Reduce JavaScript execution time" and Total Blocking Time fall.

The help centre articles (edited in Freshdesk, not the site code) and new pages (trust page, pricing page, game pages) come separately, each with its own brief.

C1: Titles, meta descriptions, H1s, alt text and money-page copy

Hypertune · draft by Som · 3 October 2026 For Bobby to check against the keyword map on Wed 7 Oct (Vin decides the keyword questions if Bobby is not available). Austin signs off the homepage. Kamil publishes Fri 9 Oct.

Sources. Plan item C1 (owners and timeline, 2 Oct). Audit, 1 Oct: keyword map (5.2), cannibalisation (5.5), targets (5.6), what Google thinks the site is about (8.3), striking distance and CTR (8.4), priority keywords (9.1), images (10.7), on-page (11.1), content audit and briefs (16). Current titles, descriptions, H1s and images are taken from the saved page HTML of 1 Oct. Positions and impressions are Search Console, 27 Aug to 30 Sep, as quoted in the audit. No search volumes are used: they are still pending in the audit's map.

Facts. Prices, trial, refund and the claims rules come from the V13 fact sheet, which is the master copy. If a fact here differs from V13, V13 is right.

How to read this. - 15 pages: every URL in the sitemap; all 15 are indexed (URL Inspection, 4 Oct). /pricing is not in the sitemap and returns 404 today, so it has a separate conditional row at the end. - Rows 5 and 6 (/what-hypertune-changes, /uninstall) are only needed if Austin does not approve redirecting them to /technology (handover ticket 2). - Rows 7 to 12 (the BIOS guides) get almost no searches (1 impression between the five guides in 3 months). V8 proposes merging them into one "best bios settings for gaming" guide. If Vin approves, these rows are replaced by one row for the merged guide. - One primary keyword per page, and no two pages share one. Where the keyword is not in the audit's keyword map, it is marked "to confirm with Bobby". - Proposed titles are under 60 characters and descriptions under 155, counted with spaces. The count is in the last column. - Where a current title or description contains an em dash, it is shown here as "(em dash)". - Claims follow the rules: "up to 60%" only, no "trusted by", "endorsed" or "certified", no creator or pro names.

1. Titles, descriptions and H1s for every indexed page

Keyword split for the two priority pages

The "PC optimization" terms at positions 7 to 9 (audit 8.4; Search Console on 4 Oct, 3 months, still has the homepage at 7.0 and 8.4) are split so the homepage and /technology do not compete:

Page	Primary keyword	Position, impressions (audit)	Supporting terms the page can also use
Homepage	pc optimization for gaming	7.0, 513 impressions, 36 clicks	pc optimization (8.5, 537), gaming pc optimization (7.8, 33)
/technology	pc optimization software (US 300 / global 400, difficulty 10; V12)	Not yet ranking	cpu game optimizer (8.7, 112 impressions, 0 clicks, but no measurable search volume), ultimate windows optimization (8.2, 45)

Left off both pages on purpose, because the keyword map gives them to new pages: "best pc optimizer for gaming" and "pc optimizer for gaming" (8.4 and 9.3) go to the fair comparison page; "optimize pc for gaming" and "how to optimize pc for gaming" (9.5 and 9.0) go to the C3 guide due Fri 16 Oct. "optimize pc" (9.9, 296) is not in the map: to confirm with Bobby whether it sits with the homepage or the C3 guide.

1	/ (homepage)	Hypertune (em dash) Ultimate PC Optimization for Gaming & Esports	Achieve higher FPS, cleaner performance, and minimal latency. Hypertune offers remote system tuning, BIOS tweaks, GPU overclocking (em dash) trusted by top-tier gamers.	Boost your gaming performance with one click.	pc optimization for gaming	PC Optimization for Gaming: Up to 60% More FPS | Hypertune	One-click PC optimization for gaming. Hypertune tunes your CPU, GPU, memory and Windows for up to 60% more FPS and less lag. Undo any change in one click.	One-click PC optimization for gaming	Puts the exact phrase Google already ranks the homepage for (7.0 and 8.5) first in the title and in the H1, which today is a slogan with no category in it; drops "trusted by" and the old remote-service wording.	58 / 154
2	/technology	Five features behind one click | Hypertune	Hypertune installs like any other Windows app, reads your hardware once, and tunes it while you play. Nothing permanent, nothing inside your games.	Six H1 tags: "Five features behind one click." (with the intro paragraph inside it), "CPU Overclocking", "GPU Overclocking", "Windows Features", "Network Optimization", "Game Hub"	pc optimization software	PC Optimization Software: How It Works | Hypertune	How Hypertune's PC optimization software works: CPU and GPU overclocking, Windows, network and per-game tuning. Nothing permanent. See all five features.	PC optimization software: five features behind one click	The audit map gave this page "cpu game optimizer", but Ahrefs finds no search volume for it; "pc optimization software" has real demand and does not compete with the homepage's "pc optimization for gaming" (V8 section 8, for Vin to approve). The title has no keyword today. Keep one H1 and change the five feature headings to H2s.	50 / 153
3	/expert-tuning (low priority)	Handtuned by Experts | Hypertune	Our engineers hand-tune your system at the hardware level: BIOS, overclocks, drivers, and configs tailored to your setup.	Eight H1 tags: "0+", "0+", "0+", "Two layers. One optimized PC.", "The HyperTune Advantage", "1ms", "673 FPS", "About Us"	pc optimization services (to confirm with Bobby: from audit 5.5, not in the 5.2 map)	PC Optimization Services, Hand-Tuned by Experts | Hypertune	Book a remote session with a Hypertune engineer. We hand-tune your BIOS, overclocks, drivers and configs for your exact PC, then benchmark the results.	PC optimization services, hand-tuned by experts	Light touch: traffic is a brand sitelink (16,325 impressions at 0.4% CTR, audit 8.4). Claims the one term split between this page (54.1) and the homepage (30.8) so the homepage stays on "for gaming". Fix the eight H1s, including the "0+" counters.	59 / 151
4	/tutorial	Two minutes away from more FPS | Hypertune	Hypertune installs like any other app, reads your hardware, and tunes it while you play. Anti-cheat safe. Trusted by Vanguard, FACEIT, EAC, and BattlEye.	Two minutes away from more FPS.	how to use hypertune (to confirm with Bobby: from the audit content audit, not in the map)	How to Use Hypertune: Set Up in Two Minutes	Sign up, download, install, scan and optimize: set up Hypertune in five steps. It builds a profile for your PC, and a restore point lets you undo it all.	How to use Hypertune in two minutes	Removes "Trusted by Vanguard, FACEIT, EAC, and BattlEye", which breaks the claims rule. Matches what people want from a sitelink under a brand search: the steps.	43 / 153
5	/what-hypertune-changes	What Hypertune changes on your PC	Hypertune installs like any other Windows app. It reads your hardware once and applies the performance settings you choose. Nothing it applies is permanent, and it does not change files inside your games.	What Hypertune changes on your PC	what does hypertune change (to confirm with Bobby: from the content audit)	What Hypertune Changes on Your PC, and How to Undo It	Every setting Hypertune can change, what it reads and never reads, and how to undo it. Nothing is permanent, and your game files are never touched.	Keep: What Hypertune changes on your PC	Current description is 204 characters and gets cut off. The undo section (step 10) is the reassurance searchers want, so it goes in the title. "Is Hypertune safe" stays free for the C2 trust page.	53 / 147
6	/uninstall	Uninstall Hypertune	Hypertune is a standard Windows application, installed with hypertune-setup.exe. You can remove it from Windows the same way you remove any other app. You do not need a separate removal tool.	Uninstall Hypertune	how to uninstall hypertune (to confirm with Bobby: from the content audit)	How to Uninstall Hypertune on Windows 10 and 11	Revert your optimizations in one click, then remove Hypertune like any Windows app. Steps for Windows 10 and 11, plus how to stop billing.

How to enable EXPO in an AMD BIOS	Title had no brand and no task (audit 11.1). EXPO gives this page its own keyword, separate from the XMP guide. Current description says "ASUS motherboards" but the page covers four brands.	45 / 140
9	/guides/bios-update	BIOS Update Guide	Keep your motherboard firmware up-to-date for improved stability, hardware compatibility, and performance. Follow the steps below for your specific manufacturer.

Intel XTU BIOS settings	Uses the audit's example keyword for this guide. Also supports the planned "auto overclocking explained" and "vs Intel XTU" pages.	55 / 151
11	/guides/xtu-bios-vbs	Intel XTU Guide with VBS	Prepare UEFI for Intel XTU: enable XMP, loosen power, then save. Pick your motherboard brand and follow each step.	None (no H1 tag)	intel xtu vbs (to confirm with Bobby: not in the map)	Intel XTU BIOS Settings with VBS On | Hypertune	Keeping Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) on? Set up your BIOS for Intel XTU: enable XMP and loosen power limits. 6 steps, about 12 minutes.	Intel XTU BIOS settings with VBS on	Nearly the same page as row 10. The VBS angle is the only thing that keeps the two from competing, so it leads the title. To confirm with Bobby whether to keep both or canonicalise this one to row 10.	47 / 142
12	/guides/xmp-bios	XMP Guide	Load your memory kit's factory profile in UEFI so RAM runs at its rated speed. Choose your motherboard brand and follow the steps.

Enable XMP in your BIOS in 2 steps, about 4 minutes, with steps for ASRock, ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI boards.	How to enable XMP in BIOS	Uses the audit's example keyword. Question-form title, brand added, and a short time cost as the reason to click.	51 / 139

Cookie notice	hypertune cookie notice	Keep: Cookie notice | Hypertune	Which cookies and similar storage hypertune.gg uses, when analytics and marketing storage are on, and how to change your choice in Cookie settings.	Keep: Cookie notice	Legal page, no search target. Only the description changes, so it is not cut off; harmless either way (audit 10.4). Optional.	25 / 147

Privacy Policy	hypertune privacy policy	Keep: Privacy Policy | Hypertune	How COMPREADY Inc. collects, uses, shares and protects your information when you use hypertune.gg and the Hypertune app.	Keep: Privacy Policy	Legal page. Shorter description only; optional. Its 4,341 impressions are a brand sitelink (audit 8.4), not a ranking target.	26 / 120
15	/terms-of-service	Terms of Service | Hypertune	End User License and Terms of Use Agreement for the Hypertune software and platform services.	End User License and Terms of Use Agreement	hypertune terms of service	Keep: Terms of Service | Hypertune	Keep as is	Keep as is	Already short, clear and unique. No change.	28 / 93

Conditional row: /pricing, only if the page goes ahead

/pricing returns 404 today with noindex, and is not in the sitemap. The plan says it gets its own title and description if it goes ahead. Every fact below is to confirm with Austin before it is used (see open questions).

URL	Primary keyword	Proposed title	Proposed meta description	Proposed H1	Reason	Chars
/pricing	hypertune price (audit brief; "is hypertune free, hypertune free trial, hypertune price" at 1.0 to 1.3, 852 impressions, 208 clicks)	Hypertune Pricing: Plans and Money-Back Guarantee	Hypertune costs $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year. Every plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee on your first payment. Cancel any time from your account.	Hypertune pricing	"Is Hypertune free" is the biggest brand question by volume (audit 8.2). Prices are the ones on the homepage on 4 Oct; the guarantee is from the /technology FAQ of 3 Oct, which no longer mentions a free trial. Austin confirms both (handover decision 8).	49 / 150

2. Alt text on the money pages

Source: image tags in the saved HTML of 1 Oct. The audit counted missing alt text on 3 homepage images, 3 on /technology and 8 on /expert-tuning (10.7). Weak alt text is also listed. /pricing returns 404 and has no images.

Rule used: meaningful images get a short description of what they show. Decorative images (backgrounds, arrows, icons next to a text label) get an empty alt (alt="") so screen readers skip them. Descriptions are based on the file name and the section the image sits in: Kamil or Hoa should check each one against the actual image before it goes live.

3. Above-the-fold copy: homepage and /technology

Only the headline and first paragraph. Everything else on the page stays as it is for now.

Homepage (primary keyword: pc optimization for gaming)

Current H1: "Boost your gaming performance with one click." Current first paragraph: "Hypertune is fully supported by every top anti-cheat. Get more frames, smoother gameplay, and less lag."

Proposed H1:

One-click PC optimization for gaming

Proposed first paragraph:

Hypertune tunes your CPU, GPU, memory and Windows settings for the games you play, for up to 60% more FPS, smoother frames and less lag. It never touches your game files, and you can undo every change in one click.

Why: the H1 and first line now say what the product is in the words Google already matches the page to (8.3, 8.4). Every claim is either "up to 60%" or taken from /what-hypertune-changes (no game files touched, restore point to undo). The anti-cheat line is dropped from the first paragraph until Austin confirms the wording (open question 1).

/technology (primary keyword: pc optimization software)

Current H1 (the intro paragraph sits inside the same H1 tag): "Five features behind one click. Hypertune installs like any other Windows app, reads your hardware once, and tunes it while you play. Nothing permanent, nothing inside your games."

Proposed H1:

PC optimization software: five features behind one click

Proposed first paragraph (as a normal paragraph, not inside the H1):

Hypertune is PC optimization software built for games. It installs like any other Windows app, reads your hardware once, then tunes your processor, graphics card, Windows settings, network and games while you play. Nothing is permanent, and nothing goes inside your games.

Why: the keyword goes in the H1 and the first sentence, the original "five features behind one click" idea stays, and the five feature names below become H2s, so the page has one H1 (audit 11.1).

Open questions

Keyword questions (Bobby's check on Wed 7 Oct; Vin decides if Bobby is not available)

1. Homepage and /technology split. I put "pc optimization for gaming" and "pc optimization" together on the homepage, as the audit map does, and gave /technology "pc optimization software" (US 300 / global 400, difficulty 10; Razer Cortex ranks #1) instead of the map's "cpu game optimizer", which has no measurable search volume. Giving /technology "pc optimization" would compete with the homepage. Agree?
2. "optimize pc" (9.9, 296 impressions) is not in the audit map. Homepage, or the C3 "how to optimize your PC for gaming" guide?
3. Keywords outside the audit map: "pc optimization services" for /expert-tuning, the support pages (/tutorial, /what-hypertune-changes, /uninstall) and all six guide keywords. None have volume data yet. Please confirm or replace them from your map changes on Tue 6 Oct.
4. The two Intel XTU guides are nearly the same page. Keep both with the VBS angle, or canonicalise /guides/xtu-bios-vbs to /guides/xtu-bios?
5. Brand at the end of the title. I end the titles with "| Hypertune" except on the homepage, where the brand is still there. Fine with your template?

For Austin (homepage sign-off and claims)

1. Anti-cheat wording. The homepage says "fully supported by every top anti-cheat" and "Trusted by Riot, EAC, BattlEye, Valve, and more"; /tutorial says "Trusted by Vanguard, FACEIT, EAC, and BattlEye"; the /technology FAQ says "100% anti-cheat safe and used by Tier-1 pros". "Trusted by" is against the claims rule, and the others read as third-party endorsement. I have left anti-cheat out of the new copy. What wording, if any, do you approve? For example: "Works at the system level and never touches game files."
2. Before and after numbers on the homepage. The "Problem" block shows 130 FPS with Hypertune off and 210 FPS with it on. That is a 62% gain, which is above the "up to 60%" claim. Keep it, change it, or label it as an example?
3. Creator names. The homepage testimonial H2 ("Trusted by some of the best to ever touch the game") names Shroud, Subroza, Tarik and ShaZam, and the "Marved" quote. The audit says these move to /expert-tuning. Are they coming off the homepage before Fri 9 Oct, and do we have written permission for any of them?
4. BIOS wording. /what-hypertune-changes says the app does not write BIOS memory profiles, and that BIOS hand tuning is Expert Tuning. So the homepage copy says "CPU, GPU, memory and Windows settings", not "BIOS". Is that right?
5. Homepage description mentions undo, not the guarantee. The 7-day money-back guarantee is only in the /technology FAQ, and the footer still says "Try for free". Should the guarantee go in the homepage description instead of "Undo any change in one click", and should the footer button change?
6. Pricing page facts, if it goes ahead: $9.99 a month and $59.99 a year (homepage, 4 Oct; it was $69.99 on 1 Oct), the 7-day money-back guarantee, and whether a free trial still exists. The plan notes old $4.99 and $47.99 prices are still on the help centre (V5).

---

Changes since the first draft

• 4 Oct: /technology primary changed from "cpu game optimizer" to "pc optimization software" (no measurable demand for the first; V12). /pricing row corrected to $59.99 a year and the 7-day money-back guarantee. Notes added on rows 5 and 6 (redirect) and 7 to 12 (BIOS merge).

V8: AI content framework

For: Vin (review), Hoa (hand check), Austin (claims) From: Som Draft: Sunday 4 Oct 2026 · plan dates Tue 6 to Mon 12 Oct · first page from it: CS2 game page, drafted by Mon 12 Oct

The plan builds this from Bobby's walkthrough (B4) and has Bobby check every draft for SEO. This draft does not wait for him. The page structures come from what ranks today (V12 and the audit's briefs in section 16), and his SEO check is replaced by a written checklist that Som runs and Vin reviews (section 6). If Bobby joins later, his changes go into sections 3 and 6; nothing else needs to change.

What this covers: every page in C1 to C7 (titles and copy, the trust page, the gaming guide, 13 game pages, the low-FPS page, comparison pages and problem pages). What it does not cover: the content calendar (N1) and outreach.

---

1. How a page gets made

Step	Who	Time	Output
1. Brief	Som	30 min	Filled brief (section 4) with keywords, what ranks, sources and links
2. Facts pack	Som	20 min	The fact sheet block (section 2) plus the page-specific sources pasted into one file
3. Draft	AI, with Som	45 min	First draft from the prompts in section 5
4. Test and fill	Som	30 min	Settings checked on the current patch, screenshots, every [source needed] filled or cut
5. SEO check	Som	15 min	Section 6 checklist, ticked, pasted at the end of the draft
6. Hand check	Hoa and Vin	30 min	Facts, prices, claims, links, "reads like a person" (section 7)
7. Claims sign-off	Austin		Every [Austin to confirm] line answered
8. Publish	Austin submits in Linear; Kamil publishes
9. After it is live	Som	10 min	Log it; request indexing in Search Console (Vin if Som's access is not Full); check it is indexed after 7 days

About 3 hours of Som's time per page, which matches the plan's estimate for game and problem pages and keeps two pages a week.

---

2. Facts every page uses (the fact sheet block)

Paste this block into every drafting session. The AI may only state facts about Hypertune that appear here or in the page's own sources. The master copy of every fact is the V13 fact sheet; this block is a short copy of it. When a fact changes, change V13 first, then this block, and changes are made only when Austin signs them off.

FACTS (as of 4 Oct 2026; [A] = Austin to confirm before publishing)
- Product: Hypertune, a Windows 10 and 11 app. Made by COMPREADY Inc., a US company. [A: legal name and state]
- Founders: Austin Copeland and Thomas Schappy, founded as CompReady in 2022. [A]
- What it does: reads CPU, GPU, memory and storage once; applies only the features the user turns on:
  CPU and GPU overclocking, faster memory settings, network tuning, Windows features, Game Hub profiles per game.
- Safety facts: stress-tests an overclock on the user's hardware and skips it if cooling cannot hold it;
  does not modify game code or put files in game folders; creates a Windows restore point; changes can be reverted in the app. [A: revert wording, see C2 editor note 1]
- CPU tuning: built on Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) SDK, developed in collaboration with Intel. [A] AMD support [A].
- Price: $9.99 a month; $59.99 a year (shown against $119.88). [A]
- Refund: 7-day money-back guarantee on the first payment. [A: wording vs terms section 29E]
- Free trial: unknown. Do not mention a trial. [A]
- FPS claim: "up to 60% higher FPS; results vary by hardware and game". No other number.
- Anti-cheat line: "Hypertune works at the system and hardware level. It does not modify game code or inject files into game folders."
  Do not say it is safe with a named anti-cheat unless Austin confirms that system.

NEVER WRITE
- "trusted by", "verified by", "endorsed by", "certified", "100% safe", "ban-proof", "undetectable"
- "Intel-backed", "official Intel partner", any AMD partnership
- any FPS number other than "up to 60%" (not 40%, 41%, 42%, 18-140, 130 to 210)
- names of pros, streamers or creators, or testimonials (needs Austin's written permission)
- a free trial, a free version, or a price other than the two above

---

3. Page types

Six page types cover every planned page. Each one has a fixed order of sections; the AI drafts into that order and does not add sections.

General rules for every type: - Answer first. The first one or two sentences answer the search, in words an AI answer can quote. - Headings are the searches. H2s use the phrasings people search (from the brief), written as plain statements or questions. - Free steps before the product. Every guide gives the manual steps in full; Hypertune appears in one section, as "or let Hypertune do steps X to Y", and links /technology. It never replaces the steps. - Every number has a source and a date (audit article rules). Settings values come from the brief's sources or Som's own test, never from the model. - Length: the median word count of the top 5 non-forum results for the primary keyword, measured at brief time. No padding to reach it. - Byline and date: author name, "Last updated" date and, for game pages, the game patch version. [Austin to confirm who the named author is; the audit recommends named people, such as a CompReady engineer] - Schema: Article with headline, author, datePublished, dateModified. No FAQPage (no rich result since 7 May 2026), no HowTo, no breadcrumbs (dropped in the plan).

3.1 Game page (C4)

URL: /games/[game] [Austin to confirm the pattern; handover decision 2. /game/valorant exists today] Primary keyword: "best [game] settings pc" (V12: the settings phrasing beats "fps boost" for almost every game). Secondaries, always all of: "[game] best settings", "[game] fps boost", "[game] optimization", "[game] stuttering", "[game] low fps / fps drops", and "[game] launch options" where the game has them. Title: Best [Game] Settings for PC: More FPS, Less Stutter | Hypertune (shorten to 60 characters).

#	Section	What goes in it
1	H1 + answer	"The best [game] settings for FPS are ... " in two sentences, then a 5-line summary list of the biggest wins
2	Fix stutter and FPS drops first	The 3 to 5 causes for this game, most common first, each with the fix (the plan: each page opens with the stutter and low-FPS fixes)
3	Best in-game settings	Table: setting, competitive value, quality value, FPS impact (high, medium, low). Values from the brief's sources, checked on the current patch
4	Launch options (if the game has them)	Each option, what it does, whether it still works on the current patch
5	Windows and driver settings	Game Mode, power plan, GPU driver panel settings, fullscreen vs borderless, with exact clicks
6	Let Hypertune do it	Which of the above steps Hypertune automates, and what it adds that the manual steps cannot (overclocking, memory, Game Hub profile for this game). Facts block only
7	Is it safe with [anti-cheat]?	The anti-cheat line from section 2, the name of the game's anti-cheat, and a link to the trust page. Nothing more unless Austin confirms
8	Questions	3 to 5 questions from Search Console, People Also Ask and Reddit for this game, each answered in two or three sentences

Internal links out: games hub, trust page (/is-hypertune-safe), /technology, the gaming guide (C3), the game's problem page if it exists. Links in (for Kamil's ticket): games hub, homepage games section, the problem page, the gaming guide.

3.2 Problem page (C7, C5)

URL: /fix/[problem], for example /fix/cs2-stuttering [Austin to confirm] Primary keyword: the exact problem phrase, for example "cs2 stuttering fix" or "low fps on high end pc".

#	Section	What goes in it
1	H1 + answer	The most likely cause and the first fix, in two sentences
2	Quick checks (2 minutes)	3 to 5 numbered checks anyone can do, fastest first
3	Fixes, in order	Numbered fixes from easiest to most involved; each: what to do, why it helps, how to tell it worked
4	When it is your hardware	Signs that the cause is temperature, RAM speed, or a bottleneck; how to check each with free tools
5	Let Hypertune do it	Which fixes Hypertune automates (facts block only)
6	Questions	3 to 5 from the brief

Links out: the game page, the gaming guide, trust page. Links in: the game page's stutter section, the low-FPS page (C5).

3.3 Comparison page (C6)

URL: /compare/hypertune-vs-[competitor], plus /compare/best-fps-booster [Austin to confirm] Primary keyword: "hypertune vs [competitor]" or "[competitor] alternative"; "best fps booster for pc" for the roundup.

#	Section	What goes in it
1	H1 + answer	Who each tool suits, in two sentences, fairly
2	Comparison table	Price, free plan, platforms, what each changes (software settings, overclocking, memory, network), undo, anti-cheat statement. Every competitor cell sourced from their own site on the date shown
3	Where [competitor] wins	At least two honest points (audit article rule: include where competitors win)
4	Where Hypertune wins	Facts block only
5	How we compared	Date checked, versions, links to each source, and that Hypertune wrote the page
6	Questions	3 to 5

Rules: competitor prices and features are checked on their site the day the draft goes to Hoa, with a saved screenshot. No claims about a competitor's safety or ethics.

3.4 Guide (C3 and later how-to guides)

Examples: "how to optimize pc for gaming" (C3), "best bios settings for gaming", "cs2 launch options".

#	Section	What goes in it
1	H1 + answer	The short version: the 5 to 8 steps as a numbered list, quotable on its own
2	Before you start	Restore point, what you need, how long it takes
3	Steps	One H2 per step. Each: what to do (exact clicks), why it helps, expected effect, any risk and how to undo it
4	Advanced (optional)	BIOS, XMP/EXPO, overclocking, with the risks stated plainly
5	Let Hypertune do it	Which steps it automates
6	Questions	3 to 5

3.5 Answer page (pricing, benchmark method, trust page)

Use the audit's briefs (section 16, "Briefs for the priority pages") and the C2 draft as the model: H1 is the question, the answer in the first sentence, then sections that each answer one sub-question, then the questions block. These pages are mostly Austin's facts, so the AI only structures and words them.

3.6 Titles, descriptions and on-page copy (C1)

Already drafted in C1. Rules for any new title or description: primary keyword near the start, brand at the end of titles, titles 50 to 60 characters, descriptions 140 to 155 characters, one H1 per page, and no keyword used as the primary of two pages (check the keyword split in C1 and section 3 of this document).

---

4. Brief template

Fill one per page before drafting. Everything in it comes from Ahrefs, Search Console or the live results, not from the AI.

BRIEF: [page name]                          Type: [game | problem | comparison | guide | answer]
Planned URL:                                Publish week:
Primary keyword:            volume (US / global):        difficulty:
Secondary keywords (with volumes):
Search Console queries already showing for this topic (impressions, position):
Search intent (one line):

WHAT RANKS (top 5, non-forum, measured on [date]):
| # | URL | type (guide, list, vendor, forum) | words | what it has that we must match |
Median length of top 5: ___ words → target ___
AI Overview: yes/no; cited sources:
Reddit threads in top 10 (titles): → questions to answer

QUESTIONS TO ANSWER (from People Also Ask, Search Console, Reddit):
1.
2.
3.

SOURCES FOR FACTS AND SETTINGS (every value in the draft must trace to one of these):
- Official: [game patch notes, developer support pages, Microsoft, NVIDIA, AMD, Intel]
- Hypertune: the fact sheet block (section 2); [any Hypertune test data, with date]
- Som's own test: [PC spec, patch version, date]

INTERNAL LINKS OUT (from section 3 for this type):
INTERNAL LINKS IN (for Kamil's ticket):
OPEN QUESTIONS FOR AUSTIN:

Filled example: CS2 game page (first page, drafted by Mon 12 Oct)

Field	Value
Planned URL	/games/cs2 [Austin to confirm pattern]
Primary keyword	best cs2 settings (the "best settings" phrasing, 2,100 global)
Secondary	cs2 fps boost (1,600 global; 100 US, difficulty 0); cs2 stuttering (1,400 global); cs2 stuttering with high fps (800); cs2 stuttering fix (300 global); cs2 optimization; cs2 low fps
Not on this page	"cs2 launch options" (5,200 global) gets its own guide later, so the two pages do not compete; this page has a short launch options section that links to it
CS2 total demand	11,950 global searches a month across seven kinds of search, the highest of any game by far (V12)
What ranks for "cs2 fps boost"	Reddit #2, FPS Heaven guide #5, Hone /game/counter-strike-2 #6, a Steam guide, xplay.gg (V12). FPS Heaven (authority 7) ranks #7 for launch options, so a small site can rank with specific settings
AI Overview	Yes; cites Reddit and YouTube
Anti-cheat	Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC). Section 7 uses the anti-cheat line only [Austin to confirm whether he will name VAC]
Sources for settings	Valve's CS2 patch notes and Steam support pages; NVIDIA and AMD driver documentation; Som's own test on the current patch (PC spec and date stated)
To measure before drafting	Word count of the top 5; current People Also Ask questions; the Reddit thread titles in the top 10

5. Drafting prompts

Run in one chat per page, in this order. Paste the fact sheet block and the filled brief at the start. Any capable chat model works; the rules below matter more than the model.

Prompt 1: setup

You are drafting a page for hypertune.gg, a Windows PC optimization app for gamers.
Write in plain, direct English for PC gamers: second person, short paragraphs, exact clicks and values.
Rules:
1. State facts about Hypertune only if they are in the FACTS block. Follow NEVER WRITE exactly.
2. Do not invent settings values, version numbers, statistics, prices or quotes. If the sources I give
   do not contain a value, write [source needed: what is missing] instead.
3. Copy any line marked [A] in FACTS with the tag [Austin to confirm] after it.
4. Use the section order for this page type exactly. Do not add sections, intros or conclusions.
5. Answer the search in the first two sentences.
6. No filler: no "in today's world", "ultimate", "game-changer", "unlock", "elevate", "seamless",
   no rhetorical questions, no summary at the end.
Reply "ready" and wait for the brief.

[FACTS block]
[Page type section from section 3]

Prompt 2: outline

Here is the brief: [brief]
Write the outline only: H1, every H2 and H3, and one line under each saying what it covers and
which source it uses. Use the secondary keywords as H2 phrasings where they fit naturally.
List any question from the brief you could not place.

Som checks the outline against the brief before going on: every secondary keyword placed, every question answered, nothing outside the page type.

Prompt 3: draft

Write the full page from the approved outline. Target [N] words.
Settings tables: only values found in these sources: [paste the source text or notes].
Mark every value with its source in brackets, for example (Valve patch notes, 1 Oct 2026); I will
remove the brackets after checking.

Prompt 4: self-check

Check your draft against the FACTS and NEVER WRITE lists and the rules. List every sentence that:
- states a Hypertune fact not in FACTS,
- uses a NEVER WRITE phrase,
- contains a number without a source,
- uses one of the filler words.
Do not rewrite the page; just list them with the fix.

Som applies the fixes by hand, then removes the source brackets only after checking each value.

---

6. SEO check (replaces Bobby's check)

Paste this at the end of every draft, ticked. Vin spot-checks it in his hand check.

#	Check	How
1	Primary keyword is not the primary of another page	C1 keyword split and section 3 of this document
2	Title 50 to 60 characters, primary keyword near the start, "| Hypertune" at the end	Character count
3	Meta description 140 to 155 characters, contains the primary keyword	Character count
4	One H1, containing the primary keyword or a close variant
5	Primary keyword in the first 100 words
6	Every secondary keyword in an H2 or the first paragraph under one
7	Answer in the first two sentences, quotable on its own	Read it alone
8	Length within 20% of the brief's target	Word count
9	Internal links out match section 3 for the type; anchor text describes the target page
10	Links in listed for Kamil's ticket
11	Images: descriptive file names and alt text; compressed (WebP, under 200 KB)
12	URL is short, lowercase, hyphens, matches the agreed pattern
13	Article schema fields filled; author and dates present
14	For Kamil: self canonical, indexable (no noindex), added to the sitemap	Check after publishing
15	After publishing: request indexing; indexed within 7 days, or log it	Search Console URL inspection

---

7. Hand check (Hoa and Vin)

From the plan: facts, prices, claims, links, and that it reads like a person wrote it. In practice: - Every Hypertune fact matches the fact sheet block, and every [Austin to confirm] is still tagged. - No NEVER WRITE phrase, including in image alt text and the meta description. - Every number has a source and a date; open three sources at random and check them. - Settings: the patch version on the page is the current one. - Every link works and goes to the right page. - Read the first screen aloud: if it sounds like an ad or like an AI summary, send it back.

---

8. Keyword decisions this framework makes (Vin to approve)

These were questions for Bobby (V12 and C1). With no walkthrough, the framework uses the defaults below. Vin approves or changes them; if Bobby joins later he can overrule any of them.

#	Question	Default used	Why
1	Game page primary keyword	"best [game] settings pc", with fps boost, stuttering, low FPS and launch options as sections	Higher demand than "fps boost" for almost every game (V12)
2	Game page order	CS2 and Fortnite (12 Oct week), then WARDOGS (if Austin confirms support) and Apex Legends, then Call of Duty (Warzone first) and Marvel Rivals, then Rust and Valorant, then The Finals, Escape from Tarkov and Overwatch 2. Arc Raiders and Battlefield 6 dropped	Ordered by current US demand, not 12-month averages: Arc Raiders and Battlefield 6 searches peaked at launch and are now near zero; WARDOGS is launching now (V12 game table). Rust stays mid-list: "hypertune rust" (100 clicks in 3 months) may be one creator's audience, still to verify. Check Google Trends before dropping Arc Raiders and Battlefield 6. Marvel Rivals' brand searches may be an esports team (question 7 in section 10). Deadlock only if Austin adds it
3	Problem pages	"cs2 stuttering fix" replaces "rust stuttering fix"	300 against 10 global searches
4	/technology primary	"pc optimization software"	US 300 / global 400; "cpu game optimizer" has no measurable demand (V12)
5	BIOS guides	Merge the five into one "best bios settings for gaming" guide, with 301s from the old URLs	All five are indexed (URL Inspection, 4 Oct) but had 1 search impression between them in 3 months; the merged topic has global 700 plus 600 searches
6	CS2 launch options	Its own guide after the CS2 page, linked from it	5,200 global searches, small sites rank
7	Homepage lead term	"PC optimization for gaming"	Already at position 7 (C1)

---

9. Timeline

Date	What	Hours (timesheet)
Tue 6 Oct	This framework reviewed by Vin; the walkthrough slot (1.5 h) is used to fill the CS2 and Fortnite briefs	3.5
Wed 7 Oct	Prompts tested on the CS2 brief; fixes to sections 3 and 5	2
Thu 8 Oct	Topic map links and the fact sheet block checked against C2 and V13	2
Fri 9 Oct	CS2 draft to Hoa and Vin; Vin's review of the framework	2
Mon 12 Oct	CS2 page through hand check; framework fixes from the first draft	2

10. Open questions

For Vin: 1. Approve the keyword defaults in section 8, or change them. 2. Who replaces Bobby's other jobs that touch content: checking the keyword map (B2) and requesting re-indexing. This draft gives both to Som. 3. Testing PC. Step 4 needs every settings value checked on a gaming PC with the game installed, on the current patch. Som has not confirmed she has one with CS2 and Fortnite. If not, either Hypertune lends test time or data, or the game pages cite published sources only and drop "tested by us" claims; the 3 hours per page assumes testing is possible.

For Austin (also in Austin's decisions, ranked): 4. URL patterns for game, problem and comparison pages (handover decision 2 covers games only). 5. The named author for guides and game pages. 6. Whether game pages may name each game's anti-cheat system, and which ones he confirms. 7. Is "Team Hypertune" in Marvel Rivals an esports team, and is it Hypertune's? It decides whether "hypertune marvel rivals" searches (34 clicks in 3 months) are buyers. 8. Whether Hypertune has test data per game that can be published (the benchmark method page), and which games customers use most in Game Hub. Without it, the "Let Hypertune do it" sections stay general and the order rests on search volume alone.

V7: Indexing fixes, developer specs

For: Austin (decisions), then Kamil (build), via Linear From: Som Date: Mon 5 Oct 2026 Target: decisions from Austin this week; changes live Mon 12 Oct, then re-indexing is requested in Search Console (Bobby's job, B5; Som or Vin if he is not available)

Sources: audit 1 Oct (sections 6.5, 8.5, 10.1, 10.3), the 2 Oct rerun in the plan (V7), live checks on Sat 3 Oct, and Search Console itself on Sun 4 Oct. "Live 3 Oct" below means I checked the URL myself that day.

Impression figures: every impression count in this document is from Search Console directly, last 3 months to 3 Oct, unless marked otherwise. Earlier drafts mixed in figures from the audit (27 Aug to 30 Sep) and from Ahrefs' copy of Search Console, which leaves rows out; those have been replaced.

Four specs, in order of how much search traffic they affect:

• A. Pages being removed are still indexed and in the sitemap
• B. /game/valorant is on a temporary redirect
• C. Logging, portal and affiliate hosts and affiliate URLs show in search
• D. compready.gg sends every old URL to one page

One rule for all four: do not block any of these URLs in robots.txt. If Google cannot fetch a page, it cannot see the noindex or the redirect, and the URL stays in search.

---

A. Pages being removed, still indexed and in the sitemap

Problem

The "what Hypertune changes" and "uninstall" answers have moved into the /technology FAQ (V11). Live 3 Oct, /technology has an "Uninstalling Hypertune" section and a breakdown of what the app changes. The old pages still exist, return 200 with index, follow, and are still in the sitemap. URL Inspection on 4 Oct shows both indexed, with no search impressions in 3 months. Google now sees two pages answering the same question.

URL	Live 3 Oct	In sitemap	Proposed new home
https://hypertune.gg/what-hypertune-changes	200, index, follow	Yes	https://hypertune.gg/technology
https://hypertune.gg/uninstall	200, index, follow	Yes	https://hypertune.gg/technology
Third page: to confirm

The plan mentions "three orphaned pages redirected". Only two are confirmed above. The third is to confirm with Vin (possibly /guides, the other page with no inbound links in the 1 Oct audit, but the audit recommends keeping the guides, so do not redirect it without a decision).

Change

1. Add a permanent (301) redirect from each old URL to /technology.
2. Remove the old URLs from https://hypertune.gg/sitemap.xml.
3. Change every internal link that points at the old URLs (the footer links Hypertune added, and any FAQ links) to point at /technology.
4. Leave /technology as it is: 200, index, follow, self-canonical.

Decisions for Austin

1. Do you agree both pages redirect to /technology, rather than staying live?
2. What is the third page to remove, if any, and where should it redirect?
3. The footer currently links to these two pages. Should the footer now link to /technology, or to an anchor on it (for example /technology#uninstall)? Either works for Google.

How to check it is fixed

• Each old URL returns 301 to /technology (any redirect checker, or URL Inspection > "Test live URL" in Search Console).
• Search Console > Sitemaps: re-submit sitemap.xml; the discovered count drops by the number of removed pages.
• Search Console > Pages: over 2 to 4 weeks the old URLs move to "Page with redirect".
• URL Inspection on /technology > Request indexing (Bobby, B5, or Som or Vin).

---

B. /game/valorant on a temporary redirect

Problem

https://hypertune.gg/game/valorant was a game page that has been retired. It is still indexed, with 433 impressions and 1 click in the last 3 months. On 1 Oct it returned 404; the 2 Oct rerun found a temporary (302) redirect. Live 3 Oct it returns 307 to / (also temporary). With a temporary redirect, Google keeps the old URL in its index and does not pass its value to the new page. Any backlinks to it are also not fully counted (audit 6.4).

Other old game URLs checked live 3 Oct return 404 with noindex: /game/fortnite, /game/rust, /game/cs2. Search Console shows no impressions for any /game/ URL except Valorant in 3 months, so no others need redirects.

Change (pick one, see decisions)

• Option 1, restore: publish the new Valorant game page (C4; seventh in the game page order in V8) at /game/valorant itself. No redirect needed, and the page keeps its history.
• Option 2, permanent redirect now: change the 307 to a 301 to the closest live page. Today that is / (the homepage). When the new Valorant page goes live at a different URL, change the 301 target to that page.

My recommendation is option 2 now (a one-line change), and option 1 if the new game pages will use the /game/<name> pattern.

Decisions for Austin

1. What URL pattern will the new game pages use: /game/valorant, /games/valorant or something else?
2. Until the Valorant page exists, should /game/valorant 301 to the homepage, or to another page (for example /technology, which covers anti-cheat)?

How to check it is fixed

• /game/valorant returns 301 (not 302 or 307). URL Inspection > "Test live URL" shows "Page with redirect".
• Search Console > Performance > Pages, filter "game/valorant": impressions on the old URL fall over 2 to 4 weeks, and the target page picks up the Valorant queries.
• Search Console > Pages: /game/valorant moves to "Page with redirect".

C. Logging, portal and affiliate hosts, and affiliate URLs in search

Problem

Internal tools and affiliate link variants are in Google. Searchers can land on an analytics dashboard or a login page, and Google spends crawl effort on pages that should not rank.

URL	Search Console (3 months)	Live 3 Oct	Proposed
https://portal.hypertune.gg/	890 impressions, 12 clicks	200, empty title, no noindex; /robots.txt returns the app page	Decision 2
https://affiliate.hypertune.gg/	179 impressions, 19 clicks	307 to /login, "Hypertune Affiliates", no noindex	Decision 3
https://loggregator.hypertune.gg/	32 impressions, indexed	200, title "Hypertune Analytics", no noindex; /robots.txt returns the app page, not a robots file	noindex on every response
https://clerk.hypertune.gg/	1 impression, "indexed without content"	Sign-in service	noindex if Clerk's settings allow it
https://waitlist.hypertune.gg/	Indexed	404 with X-Robots-Tag: noindex	Nothing to build; it will drop out
https://hypertune.gg/sign-in?am_id=becca	Indexed or showing impressions	200, noindex, nofollow	Already correct
https://hypertune.gg/onboarding?am_id=junin	Indexed or showing impressions	307 to /get-started?am_id=junin, which is noindex, nofollow	Already correct
https://www.hypertune.gg/?am_id=valorant	Showing in search caches	301 to https://hypertune.gg/?am_id=valorant, canonical https://hypertune.gg	Already correct
The rest of the ?am_id= URLs	66 listed as "Duplicate without user-selected canonical" (section G)	Those with impressions are all on /sign-in and /onboarding (section F)	Same rule as above

Change

1. Logging host: add the response header X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow to every response from loggregator.hypertune.gg (set at Cloudflare or the server, so it covers every path). Better still, put it behind a login. Serve a real robots.txt that allows crawling for now, so Google can see the noindex.
2. Portal and affiliate hosts: for any host Austin does not want in search, the same X-Robots-Tag: noindex header on every response.
3. Affiliate URLs: keep noindex on /sign-in, /get-started and /onboarding. On every indexable page, the canonical must be the clean URL without ?am_id= (the homepage already does this). Check the other indexable pages do the same.
4. After about 4 weeks, once Search Console shows these URLs as "Excluded by noindex tag", the internal hosts can be blocked in their own robots.txt if Austin wants.
5. Optional, for speed: Search Console > Removals > New request, to hide a URL for about 6 months while the noindex takes effect. This needs a Domain property in Search Console that covers the subdomains.

Decisions for Austin

1. Does anyone outside the team need loggregator.hypertune.gg? If not, can it go behind a login?
2. What is portal.hypertune.gg (customer account, team or creator portal)? Should customers find it by searching "Hypertune portal", or should it be noindex?
3. Should affiliate.hypertune.gg be findable for people searching "Hypertune affiliate program"? If yes, keep the landing page indexable and noindex the login and dashboard pages only. If no, noindex the whole host.
4. Is the Search Console property a Domain property (covers all subdomains) or a URL-prefix property for https://hypertune.gg only? The subdomain checks and removals need the Domain property.

How to check it is fixed

• curl -I https://loggregator.hypertune.gg/ (and portal, affiliate as decided) shows x-robots-tag: noindex.
• URL Inspection > "Test live URL" on each host shows "Excluded by 'noindex' tag".
• Search Console > Pages > "Excluded by 'noindex' tag": the hosts and ?am_id= URLs appear there within 2 to 6 weeks.
• Search Console > Performance > Pages, filter "am_id": impressions fall towards zero.

D. compready.gg sends every old URL to one page

Problem

Live 3 Oct, every compready.gg URL, real or made up, returns a 301 to https://hypertune.gg/expert-tuning. Checked: /, /pricing, /valorant, /faq, /blog and www.compready.gg/book. That is right for the old homepage and the tuning service pages, because expert tuning continues the CompReady service. It is wrong for the rest:

• Google treats many unrelated URLs redirected to one page as "soft 404s", so old links pointing at them pass little value.
• Old legal and FAQ pages land on a sales page instead of their match.
• "compready" is still searched (171 impressions in Search Console).

Old URLs found

From the Wayback Machine (public archive of compready.gg, 2022 to 2025). These are pages that existed, not necessarily pages with backlinks; that list needs Ahrefs Webmaster Tools.

Old compready.gg URL	Proposed 301 target
/	https://hypertune.gg/expert-tuning (as now)
/book-now, /lets-get-started, /gaming-pc-optimization	/expert-tuning

/cart, /checkout, /thank-you, /pages/thank-you, /coming-soon, /home/contest, /scrm, /search, /404-2	404 or 410
Any other URL (for example made-up /pricing, /valorant)	404, or /expert-tuning if Austin prefers: see decision 1

Change

1. Replace the single catch-all rule (probably in Cloudflare or the old host) with a list of 301 rules from the table above.
2. Keep compready.gg/ and www.compready.gg/ going to /expert-tuning.
3. Send everything not on the list to a 404 (or 410) page, unless Austin chooses otherwise.
4. Add the URLs that Ahrefs shows with backlinks, each to its closest match.

Decisions for Austin

1. Unknown old URLs: 404 (cleaner for Google) or keep sending them to /expert-tuning (keeps every stray visitor on the site)?
2. Old CompReady customer accounts: do they work on hypertune.gg /sign-in, or should account URLs 404?
3. Contact pages: where should "contact" go: the help centre, an email address, or /expert-tuning?
4. Where are the compready.gg redirects set today (Cloudflare, Shopify, another host), and who can edit them?
5. Is compready.gg verified in Search Console? If so, use Change of Address or at least check its Pages report.

How to check it is fixed

• Spot-check 5 to 10 old URLs from the table in a redirect checker: each returns one 301 to its target, with no chain.
• A made-up URL (for example compready.gg/test-123) returns 404 or the agreed target.
• Ahrefs Webmaster Tools > Broken backlinks: no compready.gg links landing on 404s that should redirect.
• If compready.gg is in Search Console: Pages report shows the old URLs as "Page with redirect" or "Not found (404)" as intended, and hypertune.gg's Links report starts to show the old referring sites.

---

E. Backlink check from Ahrefs

Ahrefs "pages by backlinks" for compready.gg and hypertune.gg, all subdomains, live links only. The raw Ahrefs exports are kept with Som's working files and can be shared on request.

URL	Referring domains	Live status (3 Oct)	What the links are	Action
enterprise.compready.gg/	1,026	No DNS record: does not resolve	Spam: nofollow links from SEO link-farm sites (fiverr-seo-.site, itxoft-.site, *.shop), first seen April to September 2026	Leave it dead. Do not redirect it: a redirect would send this spam to hypertune.gg
compready.gg/, www.compready.gg/	685 to 686	One 301 to /expert-tuning (no chain)	Mix: real links (Crunchbase, HotHardware, a podcast feed, the help centre) and the same spam	Keep as it is (section D)
hypertune.gg/?am_id=valorant	678	200, canonical to https://hypertune.gg	Mostly spam aimed at getmorefps.com, which 301s to this URL; some dofollow links from casino and "dofollow backlinks DA" pages	Decisions 6 and 7 below
www.hypertune.gg/expert-tuning	432	One 301 to hypertune.gg/expert-tuning	Includes HotHardware and the help centre	None
About 85 other ?am_id= URLs (creator codes)	1 to 5 each	200 with canonical to the homepage, or no data	Creator affiliate links	Covered by the canonical rule in section C
affiliate.hypertune.gg/api/tr	2	307 to /login	Affiliate tracking	Covered by section C decision 3

No other old compready.gg URLs have live backlinks in Ahrefs, so the redirect table in section D is complete for links; the Wayback URLs are there for old bookmarks and Google's memory of them.

More decisions for Austin

6. What is getmorefps.com, and does anyone still use it? It forwards its links, mostly spam, to the homepage through ?am_id=valorant. Options: keep it (spam links are mostly nofollow and Google largely ignores them), or point it at a page that is not the homepage.
7. Whether to disavow the dofollow casino and "dofollow backlinks" domains pointing at ?am_id=valorant and /expert-tuning. This was Bobby's call; if he is not available, Som recommends not disavowing for now (Google largely ignores such links) and rechecking in November. Som can share the sample of linking domains.

F. Search performance by page (Search Console, 4 Oct)

Search Console performance by page, last 3 months to 3 October. The hosts, /game/ and guide rows were checked in Search Console directly; the sign-in, ?am_id= and form rows come from Ahrefs' copy of Search Console, which can leave out low-impression URLs, so treat those as minimums. Live checks 4 Oct.

Group	URLs	Impressions	What it means
Sign-in, sign-up, get-started, onboarding	6	13,233 (32 clicks)	/sign-in, /sign-up and /get-started are already noindex, nofollow; the /onboarding links 307 to them. They will drop out as Google recrawls. Nothing to build
?am_id= URLs	6	496	All on /sign-in and /onboarding, so already covered by the noindex above. None on content pages. app.hypertune.gg (a new host) 301s to hypertune.gg
portal.hypertune.gg	1	890 (12 clicks)	Still indexable: ticket 4 stands
affiliate.hypertune.gg	1	179 (19 clicks)	Ticket 4 stands
loggregator.hypertune.gg	1	32	Small, but an analytics dashboard should not be findable; ticket 4
clerk.hypertune.gg	1	1	Ticket 4, if Clerk allows
/game/valorant	1	433 (1 click, position 6.9)	The only /game/ URL with impressions, so no other old game pages need redirects
/guides	1	94 (4 clicks)	The only guide URL with real impressions
The five BIOS guides	5	1 between them	Indexed, but searches do not reach them
/what-hypertune-changes, /uninstall	0	0	Indexed, no impressions; ticket 2 is about tidying, not traffic
/creator-form, /team-form	2	2,583	Already noindex, follow; nothing to build

G. Search Console reports (checked in Search Console, 4 Oct)

Screenshots: the screenshots in this report. Property is the domain property sc-domain:hypertune.gg (covers all subdomains). Som has user access, not owner.

All 15 sitemap pages are indexed (URL Inspection, 4 Oct). I inspected each page that the index report did not list: the 5 BIOS guides, /cookies, /uninstall and /what-hypertune-changes all show "URL is on Google, Page is indexed". The plan's 2 Oct baseline said 13 of 15; today it is 15 of 15. The day-90 sitemap target is already met, so the measure that matters for these pages is impressions, not indexing.

Why the index report disagrees: the Pages report was last updated 21 Sept, before the sitemap was submitted. It lists 15 indexed URLs, but only 8 are real site pages (/, /technology, /expert-tuning, /tutorial, /guides, /policy, /terms-of-service, /game/valorant); the other 7 should not be in Google: portal., affiliate., loggregator., clerk.hypertune.gg, waitlist.hypertune.gg (now 404s), /sign-in?am_id=becca, /onboarding?am_id=junin. Use URL Inspection, not this report, until it refreshes.

Indexed but not found: the 5 BIOS guides had 1 impression between them in 3 months, and /uninstall and /what-hypertune-changes had none. They are thin (125 to 431 words) and the homepage does not link to /guides. This is the reason to merge the BIOS guides (V12), not indexing.

Reason not indexed	Pages	What it is	Action
Crawled, currently not indexed	159	Mostly JS, CSS, font and animation files; also hypertune.gg//, //policy, //expert-tuning	None. The double-slash URLs already 308 to the clean URL. Someone on the Hypertune side clicked "Validate fix" on this reason on 4 Oct (not Som); ask Austin who, so fixes are not validated twice
Page with redirect	82	Old redirected URLs	None
Duplicate without user-selected canonical	66	?am_id= creator links, ?price-id=, ?utm_medium=Scamadviser.com, ?fbp=	Covered by ticket 5
Excluded by noindex	35	Sign-in, sign-up, forms	None, intended
Not found (404)	32	Random token-like paths (/SJPDlKBUMuP3B93ZcUfCA==), /mo, /month, /year, /contact	None; /contact is the only real-looking one
Redirect error, 5xx, 403	1 each	app. token path, http://app. sign-in, loggregator./api/events	None
Indexed without content	1	clerk.hypertune.gg/	Add to ticket 4

robots.txt: the one "critical error" is clerk.app.hypertune.gg/robots.txt not fetched. The main site's robots.txt is fine. No action.

Sitemap: https://hypertune.gg/sitemap.xml submitted 1 Oct, read 2 Oct, success, 15 pages, all indexed.

Core Web Vitals: no data on mobile or desktop now (not enough Chrome traffic). Late August had 3 URLs (mobile "needs improvement", desktop "good"), dropping to 0 by early September. The V6 baseline must use PageSpeed lab scores.

Day-0 baseline (28 days to 3 Oct, web search): 11.3k clicks, 43.9k impressions, 25.6% CTR, average position 5.5. The top 10 queries are all brand ("hypertune" alone is 7,537 clicks). Non-brand only: 143 clicks and 6,660 impressions (queries without "hypertune" or its misspellings). The full baseline against the plan's day-90 measures is in the report summary.

compready.gg: Som has no access in Search Console. Ask Vinny or Austin whether it is verified.

---

What I still need

• The full list of 66 ?am_id= duplicate URLs for ticket 5 (Som exports it from Search Console this week).
• Austin's answers to the decision questions above, by Wed 7 Oct so Kamil can ship by Mon 12 Oct. They are also in Austin's decisions, ranked, the single ranked list of Austin's decisions.

Changes since the first draft

• 4 Oct: impression figures replaced with Search Console's own 3-month numbers (portal 957 → 890, affiliate 205 → 179, loggregator 49 → 32, /game/valorant 435 → 433). Sections E, F and G added. URL Inspection showed all 15 sitemap pages indexed, replacing the index report's "8 not indexed".

V13: Official Hypertune profiles for Organization sameAs

For: Bobby (B3, Organization schema), due Tue 6 Oct 2026 From: Som Checked: Sat 3 Oct 2026, public pages only, no logins Sources: live hypertune.gg (3 Oct), saved crawl of 1 Oct, the audit (sections 9.3, 11.3, 12.1, 12.2), public profile pages and platform APIs

How to read this

• Ready: tied to Hypertune by at least one hard link (linked from hypertune.gg, or the profile links to hypertune.gg or to Hypertune's own short-link domain hptn.gg). Safe to put in sameAs now.
• Confirm first: very likely official, but we could not prove it without logging in. Vin or Austin to confirm before it goes in.
• Add later: profiles that do not exist yet or are planned under B8 and B11.
• Do not use: lookalikes and other companies called Hypertune.

About hptn.gg: it is Hypertune's own redirect domain. hptn.gg/twitter, hptn.gg/threads, hptn.gg/tiktok and hptn.gg/youtube all land on hypertune.gg/?am_id=<platform> (checked 3 Oct). A bio that links to hptn.gg is therefore controlled by Hypertune.

None of the profiles below shows a platform verified badge in the public page data we could read. X verification could not be checked without logging in.

1. Ready for sameAs

Platform	URL for sameAs	How we verified it	Notes
X (Twitter)	https://x.com/hypertune_	Linked in the hypertune.gg footer on every page (live 3 Oct and 1 Oct crawl). Bio links hptn.gg/twitter and discord.gg/hypertune; "Made by COMPREADY"; joined July 2022 (public mirror)	Bio says "Working with @AMD @intel" and older posts say "Officially Partnered with @AMD @intel" and "up to 40%+" / "up to 41%". These clash with the claims rules and the site; see section 5
YouTube	https://www.youtube.com/@HYPERTUNEGG	/tutorial links the setup video youtube.com/watch?v=BU8GxBGGddI; YouTube's oEmbed names its channel as "Hypertune", @HYPERTUNEGG. Channel page links hptn.gg/youtube. Channel ID UCRYxkyvKJY9-PBmrt4TV8nA	Channel description: "Partnered with AMD & intel. Boost your FPS For FREE". Older indexed videos still point to compready.gg (audit 12.2). Optional: also use https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRYxkyvKJY9-PBmrt4TV8nA, which survives a handle change
Discord	https://discord.gg/hypertune	Linked from hypertune.gg as discord.com/invite/hypertune (footer and "Join Discord" on every page). Discord's public invite API: server "HYPERTUNE", Community and Discoverable server, vanity URL hypertune, description "The official home of Hypertune." About 5,338 members on 3 Oct	The site says "10,000+ gamers" in the community block; Discord shows about 5,300 members. Either the 10,000 counts something else or it needs updating (section 5)
LinkedIn	https://www.linkedin.com/company/compready	Linked in the hypertune.gg footer on every page	The company page is still named COMPREADY. Fine for sameAs because the Organization is COMPREADY Inc., but renaming or a Hypertune showcase page would help the brand match
TikTok	https://www.tiktok.com/@hypertune_	TikTok's public profile data: name "HYPERTUNE", bio link discord.gg/hypertune, about 51,000 followers, 477 videos, not verified. Hypertune runs hptn.gg/tiktok. TikTok's oEmbed for old @hypertunegg videos now returns @hypertune_, so the account was renamed	Bio: "Partnered with AMD & intel!". @hypertunegg on TikTok no longer exists, so do not use that handle
Threads	https://www.threads.com/@hypertunegg	Bio link hptn.gg/threads, which lands on hypertune.gg/?am_id=threads	Posts say "users have seen up to 40%+ Boosts in FPS" (section 5)

2. Confirm first

Platform	Candidate URL	Why it is likely	What is missing
Instagram	https://www.instagram.com/hypertunegg/	Threads accounts carry the same handle as the Instagram account they are created from, and Threads is @hypertunegg	Instagram blocks scripted checks (401). Vin to open it and confirm the bio links hypertune.gg or hptn.gg
Trustpilot (Hypertune)	https://www.trustpilot.com/review/hypertune.gg	Vinny says the Trustpilot page was updated from COMPREADY to Hypertune (audit 12.2)	Trustpilot blocks scripted checks (403), so not re-verified. Confirm the URL and that it is claimed by the company
Trustpilot (old COMPREADY)	https://www.trustpilot.com/review/compready.gg	Search index shows "COMPREADY", 4.7 from 27 reviews, describing the manual tuning service (2024 copy, founders listed by gamer tags)	If this is the page that was renamed, use one URL only. Reviews here are about the CompReady service, so no aggregateRating for the app from it (audit 12.2)
Crunchbase	https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/compready	A company-data index lists this as COMPREADY's Crunchbase page, with homepage hypertune.gg	Crunchbase timed out for us. Confirm it exists, shows hypertune.gg, and is claimed. Do not confuse with /organization/hypertune (section 4)

3. Add later (not live yet)

Profile	Owner	When
Product Hunt product page	Bobby, B8	After submission, 12 to 30 Oct. The slug hypertune is taken by hypertune.com (section 4), so ours will need a different name or slug
AlternativeTo, SaaSHub, G2 or Capterra	Bobby, B8	After each listing is approved
Wikidata item	Bobby, B11	November. Add the https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q... URL once created
Reddit	Som, V20	No official subreddit or account found (Reddit blocks scripted checks; search found none). Add the labelled official u/ account once it is set up

4. Lookalikes and "Hypertune" confusion: do not use

Profile	What it actually is	Risk
https://www.hypertune.com, docs.hypertune.com, the hypertune npm package	Hypertune Ltd, London: feature flags and A/B testing for developers	The main reason for sameAs. It outranks hypertune.gg for a bare "Hypertune" search (audit 9.3)
https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/hypertune	Hypertune Ltd (hypertune.com), London, founded 2022, pre-seed from Afore Capital, Jul 2022	Easy to grab by mistake. Its funding round is not ours. Any directory or AI answer that says "Hypertune raised pre-seed from Afore" is mixing the two
https://www.producthunt.com/products/hypertune	hypertune.com's product page ("feature flags, A/B testing, analytics")	Same name taken on Product Hunt
github.com/polyaxon/hypertune	Unrelated open-source machine learning project	Shows in brand search results
https://www.tiktok.com/@hypertune	Unrelated personal account ("Leeew", 57 followers, no videos)	Lookalike handle
compready.com	A site called "Comp Ready" that is not part of the hypertune.gg redirects (audit 10.1 checks). We could not tie it to COMPREADY Inc.	Austin to confirm whether it is ours. Do not use until then
Wikidata Q105857180	A file format called "Hypertune"	Only existing "Hypertune" item (audit 12.1)
hypertune.freshdesk.com	Our own help centre, titled "compready"	Ours, but a support site, not a profile. Leave it out of sameAs; it goes in the fact sheet as the support URL
Staff and technician X accounts linked from /expert-tuning, and founder personal accounts	Individuals	Not the Organization. One company-data index lists a technician's X account as the company's Twitter; that is wrong
serchen.com/company/hypertune-2	Third-party directory listing for our app	Not ours to cite. Its copy says the app is "endorsed by professional esports players", which breaks the claims rules; ask for a correction when B8 runs

5. Issues found while checking (for Austin, via Vin)

1. Social bios make claims the site does not. X, YouTube and TikTok bios say "Partnered with AMD & intel" or "Officially Partnered with @AMD @intel". The site only says "We collaborate closely with chipmakers" and "Powered by official Intel and AMD toolkits". The press covers Intel (XTU SDK, Intel engineer quoted) but none of it mentions an AMD partnership. Austin to confirm the approved wording, and the bios should match it once sameAs points engines at them.
2. Old FPS numbers on socials. "Up to 40%+" (X, Threads) and "up to 41%" (X) contradict the "up to 60%" rule.
3. "Free" in bios. YouTube says "Boost your FPS For FREE"; X says "Boost your FPS FREE for 7 days". On 3 Oct the /technology FAQ no longer mentions a free trial and says "Every plan comes with a 7-day money-back guarantee". Austin to confirm whether the free trial still exists.
4. Community size. The site says "10,000+ gamers"; Discord shows about 5,300 members.

6. Suggested sameAs block for B3

Ready entries only. Add the "Confirm first" URLs once Vin confirms them.

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "@id": "https://hypertune.gg/#organization",

Notes for Bobby: - name versus legalName depends on Austin: today's markup names "COMPREADY Inc." as publisher. Austin to confirm the exact legal name and whether the Organization should be named Hypertune with COMPREADY Inc. as legalName. - Google prefers a raster logo (PNG, at least 112 x 112). The site has only the SVG and the favicon; ask Austin for a square PNG logo URL.

N1: Content calendar, October to December 2026

Som · Monday 5 October 2026 · built from the keyword map (V12) and the AI content framework (V8). Bobby's job in the plan (B6); built by Som so it is not a blocker, for Bobby to check.

The first four articles

These are the four pages for the next two weeks. The deeper keyword research on 5 October (Hypertune's own Search Console searches, 9 more competitors, and every way people search for each game, counted once) changed two of them and what all four target.

#	Page	Primary keyword	Why it is first	Draft to Hoa and Vin
1	CS2 game page	best cs2 settings	CS2 has the most game searches by far (11,950 global a month) and they are steady	Tue 13 Oct
2	Gaming guide: how to optimize your PC for gaming	how to optimize pc for gaming	US 2,824 a month, steady all year; Hypertune already shows at #9	Thu 15 Oct (to Austin for Fri 16 Oct)
3	Fortnite game page	best fortnite settings pc	Second-highest steady game demand in the US (298 now)	Fri 16 Oct
4	Apex Legends game page	best apex settings pc	Steady (US 221 now). WARDOGS goes alongside if Austin confirms Hypertune supports it	Tue 20 Oct

What changed from the plan: Arc Raiders and Battlefield 6 are out (their searches were launch spikes and are now near zero), so Fortnite and Apex move up. Game pages target "best [game] settings pc" instead of "[game] fps boost", because the settings phrasing has more searches for almost every game; "fps boost", stuttering and low FPS become sections on the same page.

Full calendar

Two pages a week, as in the plan. "Draft" is the day Som drafts; the page goes to Hoa and Vin the next working day, then to Austin. Publish dates depend on Austin's sign-off and the website developer's time.

• Som updates it every Monday (15 minutes a week in the timesheet).
• A game moves up or down if its "now" searches change by more than half in the monthly recheck, or if Austin shares which games paying customers play (Game Hub data).
• Each page's brief is filled from the V8 template the week before its draft date.

C2: Trust page draft ("Is Hypertune safe?")

For: Bobby (SEO check), Hoa and Vin (fact check), Austin (sign-off) From: Som Draft due Fri 9 Oct 2026; live Mon 12 Oct 2026 (Kamil publishes from Austin's Linear ticket) Draft date: Sat 3 Oct 2026

Sources: only the site and the audit. Live hypertune.gg on 3 Oct (homepage, /technology FAQ); saved crawl of 1 Oct (/what-hypertune-changes, /uninstall, /policy, /terms-of-service, /tutorial, /expert-tuning); audit sections 8.2 (trust queries), 11.2 to 11.4, 12.1 and 12.2, and the "Is Hypertune safe" and benchmark briefs in section 16. (The plan points to "audit section 17" for the trust brief; in the audit the brief is in section 16 and section 17 is outreach.)

Facts (company, price, trial, refund, Intel wording, anti-cheat line) come from the V13 fact sheet, which is the master copy; if this draft and V13 differ, V13 is right.

Is Hypertune safe? Who makes it, what it changes and how to undo it

Hypertune is a Windows app made by COMPREADY Inc., a US company. It applies only the settings you turn on, it does not change files inside your games, and it creates a Windows restore point so you can revert its changes in the app. [Austin to confirm the last clause; see editor note 1]

This page covers who makes Hypertune, what it changes on your PC and how to undo it, how to cancel and get a refund, how we work with Intel, and how we handle your data.

Who makes Hypertune

Hypertune is made by COMPREADY Inc. Austin Copeland and Thomas Schappy co-founded the company as CompReady in 2022. CompReady tuned gaming PCs by hand, one machine at a time, and Hypertune is the Windows app built from that work.

CompReady still runs as our hands-on service: Expert Tuning is a remote session where one of our engineers tunes your BIOS and hardware. That is why our help centre and some older pages still carry the CompReady name, and why the old address compready.gg now opens our Expert Tuning page.

• Company: COMPREADY Inc., a company in the United States [Austin to confirm: legal name, state and whether to add a business address]
• Founded: 2022 [Austin to confirm]
• Contact: info@hypertune.gg
• Community and support: our Discord at discord.gg/hypertune, and the help centre at hypertune.freshdesk.com

What Hypertune changes on your PC

Hypertune installs like any other Windows app. It reads your hardware once and applies the performance settings you choose. You choose which features to turn on, and Hypertune does not apply a change you left off.

Area	What Hypertune can change, if you turn it on
Processor	Uses official Intel and AMD toolkits to find a faster stable speed for your processor. It stress-tests that speed on your hardware, and if your cooling cannot hold it, Hypertune does not apply it. [Austin to confirm AMD CPU support]
Graphics	Tunes your graphics card. The profile can raise the clock, memory clock, voltage and power limit, and it is built for your GPU.
Memory	Adjusts memory settings so RAM runs at a faster, lower-latency configuration. It does not write BIOS memory profiles such as XMP, EXPO or DOCP.
Windows	Toggles Windows features and settings that affect gaming. You can turn them back off in the app. Hypertune does not replace Windows.
Network	Adjusts network settings to reduce lag and packet loss. It does not change your browser homepage, search engine or toolbars, and it does not redirect your traffic.
Games	Game Hub applies settings profiles for individual games. Hypertune does not modify game code and does not put files in a game folder.

What Hypertune reads to build your profile: your CPU, GPU, RAM and storage type; your Windows version; driver versions that matter for performance tuning; and which Hypertune features you use.

What Hypertune never does:

• Mine cryptocurrency or use your PC for distributed computing
• Collect personal files, browsing history, keystrokes or what is on your screen
• Change your browser homepage, default search engine or toolbars
• Edit or inject game files
• Apply a feature you did not turn on

Windows asks for admin rights when you install Hypertune, because the app needs to talk directly to your hardware.

The full list, kept up to date, is on What Hypertune changes on your PC.

How to undo Hypertune's changes

1. Revert in the app. Open Hypertune and revert the optimizations you applied. This uses the restore point Hypertune created to undo the settings the app applied.
2. Then uninstall, if you want to remove the app. Hypertune is a standard Windows app (installed with hypertune-setup.exe) and uninstalls the normal way: - Windows 11: Settings, then Apps, then Installed apps. Find Hypertune, open the menu next to it and choose Uninstall. - Windows 10: Settings, then Apps, then Apps & features. Find Hypertune and select Uninstall. - If Hypertune is still listed, restart your PC and repeat the steps.
3. Revert before you uninstall. If you uninstall first, the settings Hypertune applied are not reverted for you. [Austin to confirm]

Uninstalling does not cancel your subscription. To stop billing, cancel from your account on hypertune.gg (see the next section).

[Austin to confirm, see editor note 1]: whether anything stays after reverting and uninstalling (for example the Intel and AMD tuning drivers, or Windows Update settings), and what happens to applied settings if your subscription ends. Add one plain sentence for each answer here.

Step-by-step guide: Uninstall Hypertune.

How to cancel and get a refund

Cancel: sign in at hypertune.gg and cancel from your account dashboard. Cancel at least 24 hours before your trial ends or your subscription renews, or you may be charged for the next period. Our system logs, in UTC, are the record of when you cancelled.

Refund: every plan comes with a 7-day money-back guarantee on your first payment. If you are not satisfied, email support@compready.net within 7 days of your first payment with your name, purchase date and order details. [Austin to confirm wording; see editor note 2]

What the guarantee does not cover:

• Renewal charges after your first billing period are not refundable.
• We may decline a refund if the software shows significant active use during the refund window. [Austin to confirm whether this stays on the page and how it is applied]

Free trial: [Austin to confirm: does a free trial still exist, how long, and is a card needed to start it?] If there is a trial, you authorise us to charge your card when it ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before.

Prices: $9.99 a month, or yearly at the price shown on our pricing page. [Austin to confirm; link /pricing once it is live]

The full terms are in section 29 of our Terms of Service.

Hypertune and Intel

[Austin to confirm this whole section, ideally with wording Intel has approved.]

Hypertune's CPU tuning is built on Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) software development kit, developed in collaboration with Intel. Hypertune is our product, not an Intel product. On AMD processors, Hypertune uses AMD's official toolkits. [Austin to confirm]

[Editor note, not for publishing: today the site describes this only as "We collaborate closely with chipmakers" (homepage) and "Powered by official Intel and AMD toolkits" (/technology). If Austin can publish proof, such as a quote from Intel or a link to Intel's announcement, add it here (audit action 13). Do not write "Intel-backed", "endorsed by Intel", "certified by Intel" or "official Intel partner".]

Privacy and safety

What we collect: your name and email; account and subscription details; payment information, handled by our payment processors (Stripe or PayPal); your messages to support; your CPU, GPU, RAM, storage type and Windows version; driver versions that matter for tuning; and how you use Hypertune's features.

What we do not collect: personal files, browsing history, keystrokes, screen contents, or any data unrelated to system performance.

Who we share it with: we do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We use service providers to run Hypertune: Clerk (accounts), Stripe and PayPal (payments), Klaviyo (service emails about payments), Freshdesk (support), Sentry (error reports) and our hosting providers. Advertising and analytics tools run only as set out in our cookie notice.

Where it is processed: COMPREADY Inc. is a US company, and account, billing, support and telemetry data are processed in the United States.

Your choices: you can ask to access, correct, delete or export your data by emailing info@hypertune.gg. We aim to reply within 30 days. You can change cookie choices at any time from Cookie settings at the bottom of every page.

No crypto mining: Hypertune does not mine cryptocurrency and never uses your CPU, GPU or network for anything except the optimization and diagnostics you start.

Download Hypertune only from hypertune.gg. The official installer downloads after you sign in on hypertune.gg. Copies from other sites, including "cracked" versions, do not come from us and we cannot say what is in them. [Austin to confirm]

Anti-cheat: Hypertune works at the system and hardware level. It does not modify game code or inject files into your game folder. [Austin to confirm the statement on anti-cheat compatibility he is willing to stand behind, naming the anti-cheat systems only if each one is confirmed. Do not use "trusted by", "verified by" or "100% safe".]

Questions people ask about Hypertune

Is Hypertune legit?

Yes. Hypertune is a paid Windows app from COMPREADY Inc., the US company behind the CompReady PC tuning service, founded in 2022 by Austin Copeland and Thomas Schappy. We publish what the app changes, how to undo it, and our cancellation and refund terms, and you can reach us at info@hypertune.gg or on our Discord. [Austin to confirm]

Hypertune reviews: what do people say?

Hypertune's public release in September 2026 was covered by GamesBeat, Tom's Hardware, TweakTown and HotHardware, among others. Most reviewers had not tested it themselves yet; they described how it works and questioned the "up to 60%" figure and the subscription model. You can read customer reviews on our Trustpilot page. [Austin to confirm: the press summary, whether to link the articles, and the Trustpilot URL. Do not quote creator or pro testimonials without Austin's written permission.]

Does Hypertune work?

It depends on your hardware and the games you play. Hypertune reads your CPU, GPU, memory and storage and builds a profile for your exact setup instead of generic settings. Users see up to 60% higher FPS, and results vary by system and game. [Austin to confirm; link the benchmark method page once it is live] The simplest test is your own PC: note your FPS before, apply the features you want, compare, and use the 7-day money-back guarantee if it is not worth it to you. [Austin to confirm]

Is Hypertune safe?

Hypertune applies only the features you turn on and does not edit game files. Before applying an overclock it stress-tests your hardware, and it skips the change if your cooling cannot hold it. It creates a Windows restore point so you can revert its changes in the app. It does not mine cryptocurrency or collect personal files, browsing history, keystrokes or screen contents. [Austin to confirm, in particular the revert line; see editor note 1]

Editor notes (not for publishing)

1. Reversibility needs Austin before launch. The site says "Nothing permanent" (/technology) and that settings can be reverted with one click. A security researcher's post, seen through a public mirror of Hypertune's X replies on 3 Oct and not verified by us, says: the Intel and AMD kernel drivers the app installs are set to start automatically even when Hypertune is not running, they stay after uninstalling, and the app changes a Windows policy that turns off automatic Windows Updates. If any of that is true, the page must say so plainly (and ideally the uninstaller should remove the drivers and restore Windows Update). The press also asked "what happens when you stop paying?" (HotHardware, audit 12.1); the page should answer it.
2. Refund wording conflict. /technology (3 Oct) says "request a full refund within 7 days of your first payment". The terms (section 29E) let us refuse a refund for "significant active processing, usage, or data utilization". A buyer who used the app for a week would read these differently. One wording, then align both pages.
3. Free trial changed between 1 and 3 Oct. On 1 Oct the /technology FAQ promised a 7-day free trial; on 3 Oct it promises a money-back guarantee instead, while the footer still says "Try for free". XenoSpectrum reports Tom's Hardware readers being charged at sign-up despite the trial. The page should state whichever is true.
4. "Does it work" numbers. The audit (11.2) notes the press checked "up to 60%" against Hypertune's own data and found 4.3% to 28.2%, mostly from Game Hub graphics presets. The claims rule allows "up to 60%" only, so the draft uses that. Austin may prefer to show the measured range with the method; that belongs on the benchmark method page.
5. Site copy that breaks the claims rules (for C1, not this page): "Trusted by Riot, EAC, BattlEye, Valve, and more" (homepage), "Trusted by Vanguard, FACEIT, EAC, and BattlEye" (/tutorial), "Verified by all major anti-cheats" (/tutorial), "100% anti-cheat safe and used by Tier-1 pros" (/technology FAQ), the creator testimonial block (homepage and /expert-tuning), and the homepage meta description "trusted by top-tier gamers".
6. Contact emails. The site uses info@hypertune.gg (privacy, uninstall), support@compready.net (refunds) and operations@compready.net (legal). The draft keeps each where the site uses it; Austin may want one address.

V13: Hypertune fact sheet and directory listing copy

For: Bobby (B8 directories), Vin and Hoa (check), Austin (sign-off). Due Fri 9 Oct 2026 From: Som Draft date: Sat 3 Oct 2026 Sources: live hypertune.gg on 3 Oct (homepage, /technology); saved crawl of 1 Oct (/what-hypertune-changes, /uninstall, /policy, /terms-of-service, /tutorial, /expert-tuning); the audit (sections 8.2, 11, 12, 16); public press articles listed in audit 12.1

This fact sheet is the master copy of every Hypertune fact used in C1, C2, V5, V8 and the handover pack. When a fact changes, it changes here first; the other documents point here.

Rules used: FPS claim is "up to 60%" only. No "trusted by", "endorsed" or "certified". No creator or pro names. Anything in [Austin to confirm] must not be published until Austin signs it off.

Note: /pricing, /faq and /llms.txt return 404 (checked 3 Oct), so the saved copies of those pages are 404 pages, not content.

What it does

One line (159 characters): Hypertune is a Windows app that tunes your PC's CPU, GPU, memory, network and Windows settings for higher FPS in games, with changes you can revert in the app.

50 words: Hypertune is a PC gaming app that reads your hardware and applies the tuning you choose: CPU and GPU overclocking, memory, network and Windows settings, and per-game profiles. It runs automated stability tests before applying an overclock, and you can revert its changes in the app. Made by COMPREADY Inc.

150 words: Hypertune is a Windows app that helps PC gamers get higher frame rates and lower latency from the hardware they own. It reads your CPU, GPU, memory and storage once, then applies only the features you turn on: CPU and GPU overclocking, faster memory settings, network tuning, Windows features, and Game Hub profiles for individual games. Before it applies an overclock, it stress-tests your specific hardware and skips the change if your cooling cannot hold it. Its CPU tuning uses official Intel and AMD toolkits. It works at the system and hardware level and does not change game code or files. It creates a Windows restore point, and you can revert its changes in the app. Hypertune is a subscription, monthly or yearly, with a 7-day money-back guarantee on the first payment. It is made by COMPREADY Inc., the PC tuning company founded in 2022 by Austin Copeland and Thomas Schappy.

Optional sentence once Austin approves the Intel wording (19 words; swap it for the 8-word sentence "Its CPU tuning uses official Intel and AMD toolkits" and trim 11 words elsewhere to stay at 150): "Its CPU tuning is built on Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) software development kit, developed in collaboration with Intel." [Austin to confirm]

Everything in the 50 and 150-word versions comes from the site. Three points still need Austin before publishing: "revert its changes" (see the uninstall issue in Part 3), "AMD toolkits" (AMD support), and "7-day money-back guarantee" (refund wording).

Monthly	$9.99 a month	Same on 1 Oct
Yearly	$59.99 a year, shown against $119.88, "SAVE 50%", "Limited time offer, Annual plan 50% OFF"	On 1 Oct the same block showed $69.99 and "SAVE 42%". Directory listings stay up for months, so Austin needs to choose: list the full yearly price, the offer price, or "from $9.99 a month"
Free trial	Footer button says "Try for free". The /technology FAQ said "We offer a 7-day free trial" on 1 Oct; on 3 Oct it says "Every plan comes with a 7-day money-back guarantee" instead	Is there still a free trial? Card required before download? (A security researcher reported billing details are required before the trial download.)
Refund	/technology FAQ (3 Oct): "Every plan comes with a 7-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied, request a full refund within 7 days of your first payment." Terms section 29: 7-day guarantee on the initial purchase only; renewals non-refundable; refunds can be refused if the software shows "significant active processing, usage, or data utilization" in the window	"Full refund" on the FAQ versus the usage clause in the terms needs one agreed wording

Key features (as the site describes them)

1. CPU overclocking: finds a faster stable speed for your processor, using official Intel and AMD toolkits, stress-tested on your hardware. If your cooling cannot hold it, Hypertune does not apply it.
2. GPU overclocking: a profile built for your graphics card that can raise clock, memory clock, voltage and power limit.
3. Memory optimisation: faster, lower-latency RAM settings from Windows. It does not write BIOS memory profiles (XMP, EXPO, DOCP).
4. Network optimisation: settings aimed at lower lag and packet loss. It does not redirect traffic or change browser settings.
5. Windows features: toggles for Windows settings that affect gaming, which you can turn back off.
6. Game Hub: settings profiles for individual games.
7. Selective features: only the features you turn on are applied.
8. Restore point and one-click revert.
9. Also listed on the pricing block: System Health Dashboard, Game Mode Presets, Benchmark Leaderboards, Deep-Level PC Cleaning, Smart Overclocking. [Austin to confirm] these are all in the current app before listing them.

FPS claim, if a field asks for one: "up to 60% higher FPS; results vary by hardware and game" [Austin to confirm]. Do not use any other number (the site's "130 to 210 FPS" graphic, "18-140", "up to 40%", "up to 41%" or "up to 42%").

Do not use in listings, even though they appear on the site today: "Trusted by Riot, EAC, BattlEye, Valve", "Trusted by Vanguard, FACEIT, EAC, and BattlEye", "Verified by all major anti-cheats", "used by Tier-1 pros", the creator testimonials, or "100% anti-cheat safe". Use the factual line instead: "Hypertune works at the system and hardware level. It does not modify game code or inject files into game folders." Whether it is safe with each anti-cheat is [Austin to confirm].

Intel partnership: wording as the site states it

The site does not use the word "partner" or "partnership" for Intel anywhere. Exact site wording:

• Homepage: "We collaborate closely with chipmakers, gaining unique access to performance data that underpins all of Hypertune's capabilities."
• /technology: "Powered by official Intel and AMD toolkits"
• /what-hypertune-changes: "Hypertune uses official Intel and AMD toolkits to find a faster stable speed for your processor."

What the press says (not on the site): built on Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) SDK after "close collaboration" with Intel, per Intel senior principal engineer Dan Ragland in the press release (GamesBeat, 8 Sep 2026). Basic Tutorials adds that it is not an official Intel product.

Proposed listing wording [Austin to confirm, ideally with Intel's approved wording]: "Hypertune's CPU tuning is built on Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) SDK, developed in collaboration with Intel." Do not write "Intel-backed", "endorsed by Intel", "certified by Intel", "official Intel partner", or anything about an AMD partnership (social bios say "Partnered with AMD & intel"; nothing public supports the AMD part).

First comment (maker comment, posted by Austin):

Hi Product Hunt. I'm Austin, co-founder of Hypertune. We started as CompReady in 2022, tuning gaming PCs by hand one at a time. Hypertune puts that work into a Windows app. It reads your CPU, GPU, memory and storage, then applies only the features you switch on: CPU and GPU overclocking, memory and network settings, Windows features and per-game profiles. Every overclock is stress-tested on your own hardware first, and if your cooling cannot hold it, the app does not apply it. You can revert changes in the app, and we publish exactly what the app changes and what it never touches at hypertune.gg/what-hypertune-changes. Results vary by hardware and game; we have seen up to 60% higher FPS. We would love your questions, especially the sceptical ones.

[Austin to confirm] the whole comment, in particular "up to 60%" and the revert line.

Microsoft Store [only if Austin agrees, plan B8]

Before writing more, Austin should know: Hypertune needs admin rights, overclocks hardware and loads hardware drivers, which may need extra Store certification checks (unsure how Microsoft treats this). Microsoft allows non-game apps to use their own subscription billing, so Stripe checkout should be acceptable, but Bobby should check Partner Center policy 10.8 before submitting.

Part 3. Open facts for Austin (and Vin), in one list

1. Exact legal name, state, address, parent company (Cosmic Wire?), and whether to show HQ city.
2. Product name spelling (Hypertune, HyperTune, HYPERTUNE) and Product Hunt name, since "Hypertune" is taken there.
3. Price to list: $9.99 a month; yearly $59.99 offer or $119.88 full price; which one appears in schema offers (B3) and directories.
4. Free trial: does it still exist, how long, and is a card required? The site footer says "Try for free"; the FAQ now says money-back guarantee only.
5. Refund wording: "full refund within 7 days of your first payment" (FAQ) versus the terms' usage clause.
6. Supported hardware: AMD CPUs, and which GPUs.
7. Windows versions, 64-bit only?, file size, version number, languages.
8. Intel wording, preferably approved by Intel. Remove "Partnered with AMD & intel" from social bios unless there is an AMD agreement.
9. Uninstall and revert: a security researcher (post seen through a public X mirror, not verified by us) reported that the Intel and AMD kernel drivers stay installed and set to auto-start after uninstall, and that the app turns off automatic Windows Updates. The site says "Nothing permanent". Austin needs to confirm what is true before any listing or the trust page says changes are fully reversible.
10. Anti-cheat statement Austin is willing to stand behind, without "trusted by" or "verified by" wording.
11. Which features in the pricing block are in the current app.
12. One support email for all listings.
13. Public installer URL for download sites, yes or no.
14. Microsoft Store: go or no go.
15. Logo PNGs and app screenshots.

V5: Help centre and public pages that contradict hypertune.gg

For: the Hypertune owner Austin names, to fix From: Som Date: Mon 5 Oct 2026 Target: fixed by Fri 9 Oct

The correct facts below are taken from the V13 fact sheet, which is the master copy.

Why it matters

AI assistants and Google repeat whichever version of a fact they find. Today Hypertune's own help centre gives a different price and a different FPS claim from the website. Fixing the help centre is the fastest win because Hypertune controls it.

The facts to use everywhere

Taken from hypertune.gg, live Sat 3 Oct 2026:

• Price: Yearly $59.99 a year (shown against $119.88, "SAVE 50%"); Monthly $9.99 a month.
• FPS claim: "up to 60%" (homepage: "Users see up to 60% gains").
• Refund: "Every plan comes with a 7-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied, request a full refund within 7 days of your first payment." (/technology FAQ)
• Free trial: the homepage links to a trial sign-up (/onboarding?trial=1). The trial length is not stated on any page I checked: to confirm.

Note: the price on the site changed between the audit (1 Oct: $69.99 a year) and 3 Oct ($59.99 a year). Austin should confirm $59.99 is the price to publish before anyone edits the help centre.

1. Help centre: must fix

Help centre: hypertune.freshdesk.com (portal name "compready"). All URLs below were checked live on Sat 3 Oct 2026.

#	URL	Wrong text (exact)	Correct text
1	Common Questions and Concerns Prior To Purchasing (folder "Before You Purchase"; last edited 29 Jan)	"Hypertune is a subscription-based service starting at $4.99/month or $47.99/year."	"Hypertune is a subscription: $59.99 a year or $9.99 a month." (confirm price with Austin)
2	Same article	"We stand behind our results with a Performance Guarantee. We offer a 7-day refund window for both our monthly and yearly plans. If you don't see a measurable increase in your FPS or a noticeable reduction in input lag within your first week, simply contact our support team. We'll review your logs to see if we can help, and if not, we'll issue a full refund" (followed by "no questions asked")	Match the site: "Every plan comes with a 7-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied, request a full refund within 7 days of your first payment." The help centre makes the refund depend on an FPS check and a log review; the site does not. Austin to confirm which policy is true.
3	Same article	"We also offer a 7-day Free Trial so you can benchmark the results on your own rig before your first billing cycle begins."	To confirm: is there a free trial, and how long is it? The site links to a trial but states no length.
4	Performance Expectations (folder "COMPREADY"; last edited 13 Jan)	"Valorant Up to 42% FPS increase (592.6 to 845.5 FPS with smoother frame pacing and reduced latency)"	Either remove the per-game figures and say "Users see up to 60% gains; results depend on your hardware", or, if this article is only about the CompReady hand-tuning service, say so in the first line so it is not read as the app's claim.
5	Same article	"Counter Strike 2 Up to 36% FPS increase", "Rust Up to 27% FPS increase", "COD:BO6 Up to 140% FPS increase (67.5 to 162.2 FPS on previously poorly optimized systems)"	Same as row 4. "Up to 140%" goes beyond the site's "up to 60%" and is the figure most likely to be quoted.
6	How COMPREADY Optimization Works	"Start by booking a session on compready.gg"	"Start by booking a session at hypertune.gg/expert-tuning" (compready.gg now redirects there). Low priority.

Other help articles checked on 3 Oct, no price, percentage or claim problems found: What's COMPREADY?, What We Optimize, Is COMPREADY Safe?. I found 6 articles in total in the two public folders; if the help centre has hidden or draft articles, they were not checked.

If the help centre cannot be kept up to date, the alternative is to set it to noindex in the Freshdesk portal settings, so search engines and AI assistants stop reading it. Customers can still use it.

2. Hypertune's own site: breaks our claims rules

Not contradictions with the help centre, but the same fix list should include them. Our claims rules: "up to 60%"; no "trusted by", "endorsed" or "certified". Live 3 Oct:

URL	Wrong text (exact)	Suggested text
https://hypertune.gg (meta description, shown in Google)	"...trusted by top-tier gamers." (end of the description)	"...BIOS tweaks and GPU overclocking for gamers." (final wording to Bobby's title and description work, C1)
https://hypertune.gg (CPU overclocking section)	"Trusted by Riot, EAC, BattlEye, Valve, and more."	"Works with Riot Vanguard, EAC and BattlEye anti-cheat." (Austin to confirm the list)
https://hypertune.gg and https://hypertune.gg/expert-tuning (testimonials heading)	"Trusted by some of the best to ever touch the game."	"What players say." Creator names need Austin's written permission.
https://hypertune.gg/expert-tuning (team section)	"Trusted by Shopify Rebellion, 100 Thieves, and Sentinels."	"Has tuned PCs for esports teams." Team names only with written permission.
https://hypertune.gg/tutorial (page text and meta description)	"Anti-cheat safe. Trusted by Vanguard, FACEIT, EAC, and BattlEye."	"Works with Vanguard, FACEIT, EAC and BattlEye anti-cheat." (Austin to confirm)
https://hypertune.gg/expert-tuning	"BATTLEFIELD 6 Average boost 18-140 FPS"	To confirm with Austin: it is a third FPS figure next to "up to 60%" and has no method.

Good news: the homepage price badge now says "SAVE 50%", so the old clash between the "SAVE 42%" badge and the help centre's "up to 42%" FPS figure is gone once row 4 is fixed.

3. Other public pages: outside Hypertune's control

Recorded in the 1 Oct audit; not rechecked live this week. These cannot be edited by Hypertune. They are listed so the owner knows what AI assistants may still quote; a polite correction request to each outlet is optional.

How to check it is done

• Reopen each help centre URL above and confirm the new text.
• Search Google for "Hypertune price" and "Hypertune FPS increase" a week later: the help centre snippet should show the new text.
• Ask ChatGPT and Perplexity "How much is Hypertune?" and "How much FPS does Hypertune add?" and note the answer in the change log (answers can take weeks to update).

Draft

Title: How to Optimize Your PC for Gaming: 8 Free Steps | Hypertune (56 characters) Meta description: Optimize your PC for gaming in about 30 minutes: update drivers, turn on Game Mode, set power and graphics settings, and cut background apps. Free steps. (152 characters)

How to optimize your PC for gaming

To optimize your PC for gaming, update your graphics driver, turn on Game Mode, set Windows to its best performance power mode, and stop apps you don't need from running in the background. Then set each game's graphics settings for your hardware. The eight steps below take about 30 minutes and cost nothing.

1. Update your graphics driver
2. Turn on Game Mode
3. Set the power mode to Best performance
4. Make games use your graphics card
5. Turn on hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling
6. Stop startup and background apps
7. Check your monitor's refresh rate
8. Set each game's graphics settings

Faster memory and overclocking are optional and covered under "Advanced". Create a restore point before you start.

Before you start

You need a Windows 10 or 11 PC and an administrator account. Most steps are in Settings and take a minute each. Close your games first, and restart once at the end.

Create a restore point first so you can undo everything in one go. Search the Start menu for Create a restore point, select your system drive, click Create, and name it "Before gaming tweaks" (Microsoft support, "System Restore").

1. Update your graphics driver

New drivers fix performance problems in recent games, so this is the change most likely to help. - NVIDIA: open the NVIDIA App, go to Drivers, and install the latest Game Ready driver (NVIDIA, "NVIDIA App"). - AMD: open AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition and click Check for updates (AMD support). - Intel Arc: use Intel Driver & Support Assistant (Intel support).

How to tell it worked: the driver version in the app matches the latest on the maker's site.

2. Turn on Game Mode

Go to Settings > Gaming > Game Mode and turn it on. While you play, Game Mode stops Windows Update from installing drivers and showing restart notifications, and gives the game priority (Microsoft support, "Use Game Mode while gaming on your Windows device"). It is on by default on most PCs, so check rather than assume.

3. Set the power mode to Best performance

On Windows 11, go to Settings > System > Power & battery > Power mode and choose Best performance. On Windows 10, click the battery or power icon and move the slider to Best performance (Microsoft support, "Change the power mode for your Windows PC"). On a laptop, plug in first: many laptops limit performance on battery.

This uses more power and can make fans louder. Switch back when you are not gaming if that matters to you.

4. Make games use your graphics card

If your PC has both a built-in and a separate graphics card, Windows can pick the weaker one. Go to Settings > System > Display > Graphics, find your game (or click Browse to add its .exe), click Options, and choose High performance (Microsoft support, "Manage graphics settings for apps").

5. Turn on hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling

In the same Graphics page, open Change default graphics settings and turn on Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling, then restart. It lets your graphics card manage its own memory, which can cut latency slightly on supported cards (Microsoft DirectX blog, "Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling"). Results vary by game; if a game stutters afterwards, turn it off again.

6. Stop startup and background apps

Apps that start with Windows keep using memory and processor time while you play. - Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager, go to Startup apps, and disable anything you don't need the moment Windows starts (chat apps, launchers you rarely use, updaters). - Before a gaming session, close browser tabs, video calls and file syncing.

Keep your antivirus and your graphics driver app running.

7. Check your monitor's refresh rate

A 144 Hz monitor often runs at 60 Hz until you change it. Go to Settings > System > Display > Advanced display > Choose a refresh rate and pick the highest value (Microsoft support, "Change the refresh rate on your monitor"). Plug the monitor into the graphics card, not the motherboard, and use DisplayPort or the cable that came with it.

8. Set each game's graphics settings

In each game, set the display mode to fullscreen, the resolution to your monitor's native one, and lower the settings that cost the most frames first: shadows, volumetric effects and anti-aliasing. Turn on NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR or Intel XeSS if the game offers them. Our game pages list the best settings for each game: CS2 and Fortnite first.

Advanced (optional)

Faster memory (XMP or EXPO). Most RAM runs slower than its rated speed until you turn on its profile in the BIOS. Follow our guides for Intel and most boards (XMP) or AMD (EXPO). If the PC fails to start afterwards, it resets after three failed boots on most boards, or clear the CMOS as the board's manual describes.

Overclocking. Raising your processor or graphics card above its stock speed can add frames but adds heat and, if pushed too far, crashes. Change one thing at a time, test in a demanding game, and watch temperatures with a free tool such as HWiNFO. Stop if your CPU or GPU runs near its maximum temperature under load.

Let Hypertune do it

Steps 3 to 6 and the advanced steps are the ones people skip, because they take time and testing. Hypertune does them for you: it reads your CPU, GPU, memory and storage once, then applies only the features you turn on, including CPU and GPU overclocking, faster memory settings, network tuning, Windows features and a settings profile for each game. It stress-tests an overclock on your hardware and skips it if your cooling cannot hold it, and it creates a Windows restore point first. [Austin to confirm: revert wording] It does not modify game code or put files in game folders.

Hypertune users see up to 60% higher FPS; results vary by hardware and game. See how it works.

Questions

Does optimizing your PC actually increase FPS? Usually, if something was holding it back: an old driver, the wrong power mode, the wrong graphics card or background apps. If your PC was already set up well, the free steps make little difference, and the bigger gains come from faster memory settings and overclocking.

Should Game Mode be on or off? On, for most people. It mainly stops Windows Update and notifications from interrupting games (Microsoft support). If one game stutters with it on, test that game with it off.

Is it safe to turn on XMP or EXPO? Yes: they are the speeds your memory maker rated and tested the RAM for. Rarely, a board and memory kit don't run stably at those speeds; if so, the PC resets to safe settings or you can turn the profile off again.

Do PC optimizer apps work? Cleaner apps that delete temporary files or "boost" RAM do little for games. Apps that change hardware settings, like overclocking and memory timings, can make a difference, but check what each one changes and whether you can undo it.

Is Hypertune safe with anti-cheat? Hypertune works at the system and hardware level. It does not modify game code or inject files into game folders. Read more about safety.
