Fix these first
- XML sitemaphigh
No XML sitemap found at /sitemap.xml or in robots.txt.
Fix: Create an XML sitemap listing every page and submit it in Google Search Console.
On WordPress: WordPress makes one at /wp-sitemap.xml, and Yoast or Rank Math make /sitemap_index.xml. Submit it in Google Search Console.
- Entity clarityhigh
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.
- JSON-LD present & validhigh
No JSON-LD structured data.
Fix: Add JSON-LD describing the business and the page (Organization/LocalBusiness, WebSite, WebPage or Article, BreadcrumbList).
- H1 headingcritical
3 H1 headings – one clear H1 is best practice.
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.
- Word countmedium
191 words of main content (menus and footer excluded).
Fix: Add genuinely useful content: key service pages usually need 400+ words to answer what customers ask.
- Question-led contentmedium
No headings phrased as questions.
Fix: Add headings that match real questions ("How much does…?") followed by a direct one- or two-sentence answer – an easy format for search and AI answers to quote.
- Anchor text qualitymedium
No link text points to two different pages.
Fix: Make every link text describe its destination, e.g. “logo design prices” instead of “click here”.
- Imagesmedium
12 image(s).
Fix: Give every image width and height, lazy-load images below the fold (but not the main image) and serve WebP/AVIF.
On WordPress: Install a free image optimiser plugin (such as EWWW Image Optimizer or Smush) to shrink images and serve WebP.

1160 ms until the first response from our checker, including connection setup (Google rates TTFB good under 0.8 s, poor over 1.8 s).
Fix: Use page caching or a CDN (e.g. Cloudflare) so HTML is served from the edge.
- ✓
HTML sizemedium
58 kB of HTML.
- i
Compressionmedium
Couldn't be measured from our server (our fetch decodes compressed pages before we see them). Check in your browser's developer tools that HTML is sent with br or gzip.

0 blocking script(s) and 3 stylesheet(s) in <head>.
Fix: Add defer to scripts, inline critical CSS and load the rest asynchronously.

9 script tag(s); files loaded from 2 other domain(s): cdnjs.cloudflare.com, ajax.googleapis.com.
- ✗

12 image(s).
11 without width/height – can cause layout shift (CLS).
9 image(s) after the first three aren't lazy-loaded.
7 use WebP/AVIF or responsive srcset.
Fix: Give every image width and height, lazy-load images below the fold (but not the main image) and serve WebP/AVIF.
On WordPress: Install a free image optimiser plugin (such as EWWW Image Optimizer or Smush) to shrink images and serve WebP.
- ✗
Cachinglow
No Cache-Control header.
Fix: Set Cache-Control so browsers and CDNs can reuse the page.
- i
HTTP/3low
Couldn't be confirmed from our server – the alt-svc header that advertises HTTP/3 isn't always visible to it. Your site is on Cloudflare, which offers HTTP/3 under Network settings.

Visitor safety signals that browsers and Google check.
- ✓
HTTPScritical
Secure HTTPS with no mixed content.
- ✓
HTTP → HTTPS redirecthigh
http:// redirects to https://.
