Findings with evidence
ImproveCCBot (Common Crawl, open dataset): blocked on /
User-agent: CCBot User-agent: CC-Crawler User-agent: Common Crawl User-agent: CommonCrawl Disallow: / Matching rule: "disallow: /" in group "ccbot, cc-crawler, common crawl, commoncrawl".
Fix: This bot is used for open dataset. Blocking it is a valid choice. To allow it, add:
User-agent: CCBot
Allow: /
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
No <script type="application/ld+json"> block in the HTML we received.
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 962 ms
Time to response headers from our checker. Final URL: https://vimeo.com/
Fix: Slow responses can make crawlers give up. Add page caching or a CDN in front of the homepage.
ImproveHTML size 959 KB, 44 script tags
1 render-blocking script in <head>: https://f.vimeocdn.com/cms/_next/static/chunks/polyfills-42372ed130431b0a.js
Fix: Large HTML slows crawlers and tools with size limits. Move inline data and scripts out of the HTML.
