Settle on one address

Redirect http, https, www, and the bare domain to one address, so the site is not indexed as several.

- 6
Match structured data to the page
+1 point, to 98
Use the schema type that matches the page: Article for guides, Service or Product for offers, Organization or WebSite for the home page.
The home page

Speed up the server
Under a point

Once, for the whole site
- 8
Add an llms.txt
+1 point, to 99
Add /llms.txt: a short plain text map of the site for assistants. Its effect is unproven, so treat it as cheap insurance.
Once, for the whole site
- 9

The home page
- 10

What else the read found
Half its pages take over 1,596 ms to start answering, past the 800 ms a crawler is patient with. Caching or a faster server helps every page at once. One fetch a page, the way a crawler sees it.

A sign is not proof. Hidden characters can carry a watermark or instructions meant for an AI, and they come off with a clean copy of the text.
