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.

FixJSON-LD: 1 block, types none

A JSON-LD block is not valid JSON, so parsers skip it.

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

ImproveOpen Graph: missing og:image

og:title: Hover | Measure, Design, and Estimate all in one place.
og:description: Measure, design, and estimate all in one place. Trusted by pros on millions of home impro…
og:image: missing

Fix: Add <meta property="og:image" content="...">. Chat apps and AI tools use these for link previews.

ImproveServer responded in 1097 ms

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

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

ImproveHTML size 716 KB, 44 script tags

3 render-blocking scripts in <head>: https://cdn.cookielaw.org/consent/04e234ab-c075-42db-bb41-e9f637472c68/OtAutoBlock.js

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