Structured Data
The homepage describes itself with schema.org structured data, which helps search engines and AI tools understand it: WebPage
Canonical Tag
The homepage has a canonical tag, which tells search engines which URL is the main version of the page.
llms.txt
No llms.txt file. It's an emerging convention: a short Markdown summary of the site for AI tools. Optional, so it doesn't affect the score.
Security
HTTPS
The site loads over HTTPS, so connections are encrypted. Browsers and search engines expect this.
HSTS
No Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) header. It tells browsers to always use HTTPS, which protects visitors from being downgraded to an insecure connection.
