What to fix first
-
✗
Meta description (150–160 chars)
Description is only 104 chars. Way under the 150-char sweet spot — Google often rewrites short descriptions, losing your messaging.
What we’d do: We write 150–160 char descriptions so Google uses what you wrote.
-
✗
Single H1
No H1 heading found.
What we’d do: We set a clear keyword-anchored H1 on every page.
-
✗
Mobile zoom not blocked
Your viewport meta tag blocks pinch-to-zoom (user-scalable=no or maximum-scale=1). That's a WCAG 2.1 accessibility violation and Google penalizes it.
What we’d do: Zorva sites always allow pinch-to-zoom — required for accessibility compliance and Google ranking.
-
✗
JSON-LD schema markup
No JSON-LD schema found. Google and AI search engines lose the structured signal.
What we’d do: Every Zorva-built site ships 8+ JSON-LD schema types — Organization, LocalBusiness, FAQPage, Review, Breadcrumb, Service, Product, HowTo.
-
✗
Business entity schema
No Organization or LocalBusiness schema. Google can't build a knowledge-graph entry without it.
What we’d do: Standard on every Zorva site, with NAP + service area + hours.
Every check, by category (38 checks)
AI search / AEO / GEO readiness 39
-
!
Speakable spec (voice/AEO)
No SpeakableSpecification. Voice engines (Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant) have nothing tuned to read aloud.
What we’d do: We add Speakable + data-speakable hooks to TLDR + key paragraphs on every page.
-
✓
llms.txt (AI summary file)
llms.txt is published — AI engines have a structured business summary to cite.
-
✓
AI crawler permissions
robots.txt does not block major AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, etc.).
Performance & mobile 71
-
!
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
Largest Contentful Paint is 4.0 s. Ranking-impact threshold: ≤4s passes, ≤6s acceptable, >6s fails.
What we’d do: Common LCP killers: unoptimized hero images, render-blocking scripts, slow TTFB. Zorva sites hit sub-1.5s LCP via edge hosting + AVIF/WebP images.
-
!
HTML payload size
104KB on the wire (gzipped) · 361KB uncompressed. Working, but bigger HTML pushes TTFB and First Byte cost on slow connections.
What we’d do: Hand-coded Zorva sites typically ship 20–50KB gzipped per page.
-
•
Interaction to Next Paint (INP)
No real-user data available yet — Google's CrUX dataset needs enough traffic to report INP. Once your site gets a few hundred mobile visitors a month, INP will appear here.
-
•
HTTP/2 or HTTP/3
Couldn't detect HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 from response headers. Server may still support it, but isn't advertising via Alt-Svc.
-
✓
Mobile PageSpeed score
Google scores your mobile performance at 77/100 — above the ranking-impact threshold.
-
✓
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
Cumulative Layout Shift is 0. Google's threshold: ≤0.10 passes, ≤0.25 acceptable, >0.25 fails.
-
✓
Page load time
Fetched in 684ms — fast.
-
✓
Compression
Server is using gzip compression — saves 60–80% of bytes.
Trust / E-E-A-T / reputation
-
!
Author / Person schema
No Person schema. Google + AI engines prefer content with a named human author entity.
What we’d do: We add a Person/Founder schema graph on the home + about + team pages.
SEO basics
-
✗
Meta description (150–160 chars)
Description is only 104 chars. Way under the 150-char sweet spot — Google often rewrites short descriptions, losing your messaging.
What we’d do: We write 150–160 char descriptions so Google uses what you wrote.
-
✗
Single H1
No H1 heading found.
What we’d do: We set a clear keyword-anchored H1 on every page.
-
✗
Sitemap.xml
No /sitemap.xml found. Google + AI crawlers have to guess at your full URL inventory.
What we’d do: Every Zorva site auto-generates sitemap.xml from its full route + blog + glossary inventory.
-
✗
404 page handling
A non-existent URL returned 200 instead of 404. Soft 404s let Google index ghost pages and waste your crawl budget.
What we’d do: Zorva sites return proper 404s on missing routes — no soft-404 SEO penalty.
-
!
Page title (50–60 chars)
Title is 36 chars. Google's sweet spot is 50–60 — yours works but isn't optimal.
What we’d do: Zorva-built titles target 50–60 chars exactly so they never truncate in the SERP.
-
!
Sitemap directive in robots.txt
robots.txt exists but doesn't include a `Sitemap:` line — Google has to guess the sitemap location.
What we’d do: Zorva-published robots.txt always includes the Sitemap directive.
-
•
Image alt text
No images detected on the homepage.
-
•
Title vs H1 differentiation
Skipped — no H1 found on the page.
-
✓
Canonical URL
Canonical points to https://garysomerhalder.com/
-
✓
Social share cards (OG + Twitter)
OpenGraph and Twitter Card metadata present.
-
✓
Favicon
Favicon link tag present — branded SERP appearance + browser tab icon.
-
✓
HTML lang attribute
<html lang="en"> — accessibility + AI search signal.
-
✓
robots.txt
robots.txt present (368156 bytes).
Mobile, accessibility + security
-
✗
Mobile zoom not blocked
Your viewport meta tag blocks pinch-to-zoom (user-scalable=no or maximum-scale=1). That's a WCAG 2.1 accessibility violation and Google penalizes it.
What we’d do: Zorva sites always allow pinch-to-zoom — required for accessibility compliance and Google ranking.
-
✗
Security headers
Missing 3/4 baseline security headers: Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy.
What we’d do: Zorva sites ship CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy by default.
-
✓
Mobile viewport
Viewport meta tag set for responsive design.
-
✓
No fixed-width elements
No inline styles with hardcoded widths ≥360px that would overflow a phone viewport.
-
✓
HTTPS (SSL)
Site loads over HTTPS.
-
✓
HSTS header
Strict-Transport-Security is set — browsers force HTTPS forever.
-
✓
HTTP → HTTPS redirect
Plain HTTP requests redirect (301) to HTTPS.
-
✓
Mixed content
No insecure http:// resources referenced on the page.
Structured data
-
✗
JSON-LD schema markup
No JSON-LD schema found. Google and AI search engines lose the structured signal.
What we’d do: Every Zorva-built site ships 8+ JSON-LD schema types — Organization, LocalBusiness, FAQPage, Review, Breadcrumb, Service, Product, HowTo.
-
✗
Business entity schema
No Organization or LocalBusiness schema. Google can't build a knowledge-graph entry without it.
What we’d do: Standard on every Zorva site, with NAP + service area + hours.
-
!
FAQPage schema
No FAQPage schema. AI Overview + voice engines lean heavily on this format.
What we’d do: We add FAQPage schema to every site, auto-extracted from the visible Q&A blocks.
-
•
Article / BlogPosting schema
Not a blog/article URL — skipped.
-
•
HowTo schema
No HowTo schema. Optional — only valuable on pages that describe a step-by-step process.
