www.cruisedeals.com — SEO report 2026-10-06

I requested https://www.cruisedeals.com/results.php?compose=1 and got HTTP 200 back in 1.67s (10.6 MB of HTML, server IP 104.18.28.208).
It looks like it's built with Divi. Tracking detected: Google Analytics 4.
Google will most likely show the title “Find Your Cruise | CruiseDeals.com” with the description “Search and compare thousands of cruise sailings by destination, cruise line, ship, and departure port. Find your best cruise deal at CruiseDeals.com.”
The main content has 548 words. Judging by word frequency, it's mostly about cruise line, clear done, 0 clear, free quote, travel month.
Headings: 0 H1s, 2 H2s, 3 deeper headings. Images: 1 total, 0 missing alt text, 0 with empty alt. Links: 95 internal, 0 external, 0 broken out of 13 tested.
No schema markup, so Google has to guess what kind of entity/page this is.
Robots.txt exists, an XML sitemap was found but this page wasn't in the part I checked. Nothing is blocking Google from indexing this page.

Structured Data (Schema) 10/100

✕

No structured data (schema markup)

Schema helps Google understand the page and can earn rich results (stars, FAQs, breadcrumbs, prices…).

Add JSON-LD schema — at minimum Organization/LocalBusiness + WebSite on the homepage, and BreadcrumbList + the matching type (Article, Product, Service…) on inner pages.

!

No BreadcrumbList schema

Breadcrumb schema replaces the ugly URL in results with a clean path.

Add BreadcrumbList JSON-LD (most SEO plugins can switch this on).

Technical & Speed 71/100

✓

Served over HTTPS

HTTPS is a confirmed (light) ranking signal and required for trust.

✓

No redirects on the URL you entered

!

HTTP → HTTPS uses a temporary 302 redirect

A permanent 301 passes ranking signals more reliably.

Change the HTTP→HTTPS redirect to a 301.

!

cruisedeals.com uses a temporary redirect

Make cruisedeals.com → www.cruisedeals.com a permanent 301.

!

Server response (TTFB): 808 ms

Measured from this server. Under 800 ms is good; slow TTFB drags down every Core Web Vital.

Use page caching, a CDN, or better hosting.

✕

HTML size: 10.6 MB

Under ~150 KB of HTML is healthy.

Reduce inline CSS/JS and page-builder markup.

✓

Compression enabled (gzip)

Transferred 1.73 MB.

✓

2 render-blocking scripts in <head>

4 external scripts and 2 stylesheets in total.

i

No HSTS header

Optional security hardening; forces browsers to always use HTTPS.

✓

Missing pages return a real 404

!

URL could be cleaner

The URL has query parameters.

Use short, lowercase, hyphenated URLs, e.g. /roof-repair-denver/.

i

Core Web Vitals not measured

Tick "Run Google PageSpeed" to pull Google's speed score and real-user data (adds ~30s).

Mobile, Language & Extras 94/100

✓

Mobile viewport tag set

width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0

✓

Language declared (lang="en")

✓

Character encoding declared

!

No favicon

Google displays favicons in mobile results — a blank one looks untrustworthy.

Add a favicon (at least 48×48) and link it with <link rel="icon">.

i

No hreflang tags

Only needed if you have versions of the page in other languages/regions.

i

No llms.txt

An emerging (unofficial) file that summarizes your site for AI assistants. Nice-to-have, not a Google factor.
