Images 21/100
✕
8 of 8 images are missing alt text
Google can't "see" images; alt text is how it knows what they show.
Add descriptive alt text to every meaningful image (see the list below).
!
7 images lack width/height attributes
Missing dimensions cause layout shift (CLS), a Core Web Vitals metric.
Set width and height attributes on <img> tags.
!
No images are lazy-loaded
Lazy-loading below-the-fold images speeds up the initial load.
Add loading="lazy" to images below the fold (not the main hero image).
!
No modern image formats (WebP/AVIF)
7 JPG/PNG/GIF images found. Modern formats are 25–50% smaller.
Serve WebP or AVIF versions (most image/cache plugins or CDNs do this automatically).

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).
