Notes

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

Notes

  • ● FineThe title is 46 characters, short enough to show in full in search results.
  • ▲ CheckThe description is only 20 characters. There is room to say more.
  • ▲ CheckThe favicon is dark on a see-through background, so it nearly disappears on dark browser tabs.
