Notes
Plain checks on what was found. Worth fixing if you look after this site.
Notes
- ▲ CheckThe title is 66 characters. Google usually cuts titles near 60, so the end may not show in results.
- ▲ CheckThere is no og:image, so links shared on social media show no picture.
- ▲ CheckThe favicon is dark on a see-through background, so it nearly disappears on dark browser tabs.
