Fix these first
- H1 headingcritical
No H1 heading.
Fix: Use one H1 that states the page topic with its main keyword.
On WordPress: Most themes show the page title as the H1. In the editor, make sure no other block uses Heading 1 – use Heading 2 for sections.
- Render-blocking resourceshigh
7 blocking script(s) and 7 stylesheet(s) in <head>.
Fix: Add defer to scripts, inline critical CSS and load the rest asynchronously.
- Mobile viewportcritical
viewport: width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0 – blocks pinch-zoom
Fix: Use <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> and allow zoom.
- Readabilitymedium
Flesch reading ease 29 (difficult), about 15 words per sentence.
Fix: Use shorter sentences and everyday words – aim for a score of 50+ for customer-facing pages.

22 headings for 235 words – a lot for the amount of text.
Fix: Use H2s for main sections and H3s inside them, without skipping levels.

Fix: Make every link text describe its destination, e.g. “logo design prices” instead of “click here”.
- Imagesmedium
9 image(s).
