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.

FixNo JSON-LD structured data on the homepage

Found microdata (itemscope) but no <script type="application/ld+json"> block.

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.

ImproveServer responded in 1275 ms

Time to response headers from our checker, after 1 redirect. Final URL: https://www.strikingly.com/

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