How AI reads this site
The first words an assistant reads on its home page.
What an assistant reads first
Home pageWhat it says
TitleThe Sick Times - Chronicling the Long COVID crisis
DescriptionChronicling the Long COVID crisis
First headingThe real story behind the “October slide”
OpeningChanging seasons affect many people with Long COVID, myalgic encephalomyelitis, and other chronic illnesses, but not all in the same way. Research has a long way to go before it can explain the phenomenon. Read more…
3 changes so it reads plainly as what it is
- Make the first heading say what the title says
The title and the first heading share no word that says what the site does: “The Sick Times - Chronicling the Long COVID crisis” and “The real story behind the “October slide””.
Agent instructions
On thesicktimes.org, give the home page one first heading (h1) that says, in a reader's words, what its title says the site is.
- Rewrite the description
Its description is 33 characters, too few to choose a site by.
Agent instructions
On thesicktimes.org, write the home page a meta description of one or two sentences, 50 to 160 characters: what the business does, for whom, and where.
- Name Brooklyn in the first words
The site is in Brooklyn, and its title, description, first heading and opening never say so. Questions to assistants often name a place.
Agent instructions
On thesicktimes.org, name Brooklyn in the home page title or first sentence, and in the description, where it reads naturally.
- Read it again
mttr reads the site again and says how it reads now.
An estimate made by mttr against 16 lines of work, from its home page before any script runs. It is not what any assistant says about the site. Rethink the direction with us.
