Findings with evidence
FixHomepage serves a bot challenge page to automated clients
Our checker got a challenge page instead of your content: All-in-one HR software for people, payroll & finance | HiBob. Findings below describe that page, not your real homepage.
Fix: AI crawlers get the same challenge and cannot read your site. In your CDN or firewall (Cloudflare, Akamai, Imperva), allow verified AI search bots, or lower the bot protection level on public pages.
ImproveJSON-LD: 2 blocks, types WebPage, ReadAction, ImageObject, BreadcrumbList, ListItem, WebSite, SearchAction, EntryPoint, PropertyValueSpecification, Organization, SoftwareApplication
SoftwareApplication is missing recommended offers.
Fix: Fix the listed properties, then retest at validator.schema.org.
FixServer responded in 2017 ms
Time to response headers from our checker, after 1 redirect. Final URL: https://www.hibob.com/
Fix: Slow responses can make crawlers give up. Add page caching or a CDN in front of the homepage.
ImproveHTML size 741 KB, 54 script tags
4 render-blocking scripts in <head>: https://new.hibob.com/app/cache/debloat/js/70e69782f8c3e55eda634293b228458c.js
Fix: Large HTML slows crawlers and tools with size limits. Move inline data and scripts out of the HTML.
