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.

ImproveServer responded in 986 ms

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

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

ImproveHTML size 380 KB, 37 script tags

1 render-blocking script in <head>: /assets/js/html5shiv.js

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