Findings with evidence
ImproveNo robots.txt
GET /robots.txt returned status 200 but the body is an HTML page, not robots rules. Crawlers treat that as no robots.txt.
Fix: Publish /robots.txt with your rules and a Sitemap: line, so each crawler sees an explicit policy.
ImproveJSON-LD: 1 block, types Organization, ImageObject, WebSite, SearchAction, WebPage, Person, Article
Organization is missing recommended sameAs.
Fix: Fix the listed properties, then retest at validator.schema.org.
ImproveMeta description, 213 characters
content="Manage your people more efficiently and accurately with Namely’s Human Capital Management (HCM) platform and managed services. Power-up payroll, compliance, benefits, and analytics with an all-in-one HCM solution."
Fix: Trim to about 160 characters.
ImproveServer responded in 1083 ms
Time to response headers from our checker. Final URL: https://namely.com/
Fix: Slow responses can make crawlers give up. Add page caching or a CDN in front of the homepage.
ImproveHTML size 976 KB, 43 script tags
8 render-blocking scripts in <head>: https://namely.com/wp-content/plugins/cookie-law-info/lite/frontend/js/gcm.min.js
Fix: Large HTML slows crawlers and tools with size limits. Move inline data and scripts out of the HTML.
