SEO50Needs work
Title, meta description, OG, Twitter cards, canonical
Your homepage is missing one or more of the standard social-share and search-preview tags.

Schema.org type validity (parsed JSON-LD)
We didn't find any structured-data tags on your homepage.
No breadcrumb schema is published. Search engines can't show breadcrumb trails under your listings, and visitors lose the trail to important pages.

Your homepage has a clear H1 heading — search engines and screen readers know what the page is about.

Google Business Profile presence + rating
We couldn't find a Google Business Profile linked to this domain.
Yelp presence + rating + review count
We couldn't find a Yelp listing for this business. Local-business searches and recommendation engines lean on Yelp as a signal.

We couldn't find a LinkedIn Company Page for this business. B2B prospects look for it before reaching out.
Apple Maps presence (Apple Business Connect)
We couldn't find an Apple Business Connect listing. Apple Maps visitors and Siri queries can't find you cleanly.

Performance67Excellent
Image optimization (WebP/AVIF)
Your images are served as JPEG or PNG when modern formats (WebP, AVIF) would cut their size by 30–60% with no visible loss.
Lazy loading on below-fold images
Images below the fold aren't lazy-loaded — visitors download them up front even if they never scroll that far.
Font loading strategy (FOUT/FOIT/swap)
Your fonts aren't using font-display: swap. Visitors see invisible text for a moment while the font downloads — Google penalises this.
Your server compresses pages with Brotli or gzip — visitors download a fraction of the raw size.
Mobile PageSpeed score + Core Web Vitals (LCP, FCP, CLS)
Your homepage loads fast on mobile — the metrics Google uses for ranking are in the green.

No DMARC aggregate-reporting address is published — you wouldn't see spoofing attempts.
Lead magnet / signup incentive detected (free download, ebook, etc.)

Neither OCSP stapling nor Must-Staple is in play. A revoked cert wouldn't be caught quickly.
Embedded SCT count (Certificate Transparency)
Your certificate carries only one embedded SCT — modern browsers want at least two. Reissue from a CA that includes them.

Your TLS handshake completes quickly — under 300ms on a cold connection.
