Fix these first
- Canonical URLhigh
No canonical tag.
Fix: Add <link rel="canonical" href="(this page's full URL)"> – only point it elsewhere for true duplicates.

2 redirects before the page loaded – a chain slows visitors and wastes crawl budget.
Fix: Link straight to the final address and make each redirect go to its destination in one hop.

No Organization / LocalBusiness structured data – search engines and AI have to guess who runs this site.
Fix: Add Organization or LocalBusiness JSON-LD with name, url, logo, contact details and sameAs links to your official profiles.
