Findings with evidence

FixNo 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.

ImproveJSON-LD: 1 block, types Organization, ImageObject, ContactPoint, WebSite, WebPage, BreadcrumbList, ListItem, WebApplication

WebApplication is missing recommended offers.

Fix: Fix the listed properties, then retest at validator.schema.org.

FixServer responded in 2123 ms

Time to response headers from our checker, after 1 redirect. Final URL: https://www.cognitoforms.com/

Fix: Slow responses can make crawlers give up. Add page caching or a CDN in front of the homepage.

0 render-blocking scripts in <head>

Fix: Large HTML slows crawlers and tools with size limits. Move inline data and scripts out of the HTML.
