Why can't search engines access my site's robots.txt file?

Your robots.txt file returns a 404 error, meaning it's missing or inaccessible. Search engines expect to find this file at stilta.com/robots.txt to understand crawling instructions. You need to create and upload a proper robots.txt file to your root directory.

What does it mean when llms.txt returns HTML instead of text?

Your llms.txt file is serving HTML content instead of plain text, which AI crawlers can't properly read. This prevents AI systems from understanding your content guidelines. You need to fix the file format to serve actual text content.

How do missing date signals affect my site's search rankings?

Your pages lack publication dates, modification dates, or other freshness indicators that search engines use to evaluate content quality. This hurts your rankings because Google can't determine if your content is current and relevant. Add proper date markup to your pages.

Why is content freshness important for my website's credibility?

Missing date signals make it impossible for users and search engines to assess your content's timeliness and reliability. This directly impacts your site's E-E-A-T score, which Google uses to evaluate trustworthiness. Clear dating helps establish your content's credibility and relevance.

How many images on my site need optimization work?

Your site has 86 images that require optimization for better performance and SEO. Unoptimized images slow down page loading and hurt user experience. You should compress file sizes, add proper alt text, and use appropriate formats to improve site speed.
