Findings with evidence

FixNo 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.

ImproveTitle, 70 characters

<title>GitHub · Change is constant. GitHub keeps you ahead. · GitHub · GitHub</title>

Fix: Shorten to about 50 to 60 characters so tools do not cut it off.

ImproveMeta 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.

FixNo sitemap found

robots.txt has no Sitemap: line.
GET https://github.com/sitemap.xml returned 406.

Fix: Publish /sitemap.xml and add "Sitemap: https://github.com/sitemap.xml" to robots.txt.

ImproveServer responded in 1000 ms

Time to response headers from our checker. Final URL: https://github.com/

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

ImproveHTML size 559 KB, 16 script tags

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.
