Notes

Plain checks on what was found. Worth fixing if you look after this site.

Notes

  • ▲ CheckThe title is 74 characters. Google usually cuts titles near 60, so the end may not show in results.
  • ▲ CheckThe description is only 43 characters. There is room to say more.
  • ▲ CheckThere is no og:image, so links shared on social media show no picture.
