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.

ImproveNo canonical link

No <link rel="canonical"> in <head>.

Fix: Add <link rel="canonical" href="https://wistia.com/"> so crawlers know which URL to cite.

ImproveServer responded in 1017 ms

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

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