Why is my site missing the llms.txt file that AI systems need?

Your site returns a 404 error when AI systems look for /llms.txt. This file tells AI crawlers how to properly access and understand your content. Without it, AI systems may struggle to interpret your site correctly or miss important content entirely.

How can I fix the freshness issues on my website?

Your site lacks date signals like publication dates, last modified timestamps, or structured data markup. Add visible dates to your content and include datePublished/dateModified in your schema markup. This helps search engines understand when your content was created or updated.

Why don't any of my 132 images have alt text?

All 132 images on your site are missing alt attributes. Alt text describes images for screen readers and helps search engines understand visual content. Add descriptive alt text to each image using the alt attribute in your img tags.

What is FAQ schema and why should I add it?

FAQ schema is structured data markup that tells search engines which content answers common questions. Your site has no FAQ markup, missing opportunities for rich snippets in search results. Add FAQPage schema to relevant content sections.

How do missing date signals affect my search engine rankings?

Search engines use date signals to determine content freshness and relevance. Without publication or update dates, your content may appear stale or less trustworthy. This can negatively impact rankings, especially for time-sensitive topics or competitive keywords.
