Notes

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

Notes

  • ▲ CheckThe title is 62 characters. Google usually cuts titles near 60, so the end may not show in results.
  • ▲ CheckThe favicon is dark on a see-through background, so it nearly disappears on dark browser tabs.
