Findings with evidence

FixHomepage serves a bot challenge page to automated clients

Our checker got a challenge page instead of your content: Whimsical — The whiteboard for product builders. Findings below describe that page, not your real homepage.

Fix: AI crawlers get the same challenge and cannot read your site. In your CDN or firewall (Cloudflare, Akamai, Imperva), allow verified AI search bots, or lower the bot protection level on public pages.

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.

ImproveJSON-LD: 2 blocks, types Corporation, SoftwareApplication

SoftwareApplication is missing recommended offers.

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

Improve2 H1 headings

<h1></h1>
<h1>The whiteboard for product builders</h1>

Fix: Use one <h1> that states the main topic of the page.

ImproveServer responded in 1062 ms

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

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

ImproveHTML size 388 KB, 12 script tags

1 render-blocking script in <head>: https://whimsical.com/s/js/gate.min_2f50744a2829199227d7e0dfa59ee554.js

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