Most common problems in developer tools
Each count is the number of homepages in this group with that finding on 2026-10-18. The example shows the evidence our checker saved for one of them.
JSON-LD schema missing or with errors: 27 of 38 sites
Example from logrocket.com (55/100): No JSON-LD structured data on the homepage
No <script type="application/ld+json"> block in the HTML we received.
Fix: Add an Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD block to the homepage with name, url, logo, and sameAs links. The $19 report includes a ready-to-paste block for your site.
Heavy homepage HTML or render-blocking scripts: 26 of 38 sites
Example from statsig.com (65/100): HTML size 457 KB, 12 script tags
3 render-blocking scripts in <head>: /js/site.js
Fix: Large HTML slows crawlers and tools with size limits. Move inline data and scripts out of the HTML.
No llms.txt, or one with gaps: 17 of 38 sites
Example from digitalocean.com (65/100): No llms.txt
GET /llms.txt returned 404.
Fix: Create /llms.txt: a # title, a > one-line summary, then ## sections that list key pages as [name](url). Draft one free at checkaiready.com/llms-txt-generator.
Meta description missing or the wrong length: 9 of 38 sites
Example from github.com (70/100): Meta description, 186 characters
content="Join the world's most widely adopted, AI-powered developer platform where millions of developers, businesses, and the largest open source community build software that advances humanity."
Fix: Trim to about 160 characters.
No single clear H1: 7 of 38 sites
Example from bitbucket.org (75/100): 2 H1 headings
<h1>Code & CI/CD, powered by AI and the Atlassian platform</h1> <h1>Code & CI/CD, built for teams using Jira</h1>
Fix: Use one <h1> that states the main topic of the page.
Title missing or overlong: 5 of 38 sites
Example from algolia.com (85/100): Title, 68 characters
<title>The AI search and retrieval platform - Agentic | Generative | Search</title>
Fix: Shorten to about 50 to 60 characters so tools do not cut it off.
