gerlinger.ai: homepage SEO audit

The most important problem is that the homepage title is 61 characters long, which is long enough that search results may cut it off before the end. On the positive side, the site has clean heading structure, works well on mobile devices and has strong security settings. The most useful next step is to shorten the page title to roughly 60 characters or fewer while keeping the main topic at the start.

1. 01
   ImportantMeta Tags

   The page title is too long (61 characters)

   Aim for 30–60 characters. Too short wastes a chance to attract clicks; too long gets cut off in search results with a '…'.

   How to fix: Trim it to the most important words so it doesn't get cut off in Google.

2. 02
   ImportantPage Weight & Response

   This page loads a lot of images (65)

   This many images load as soon as the page opens, before the visitor scrolls. Each one competes for bandwidth with what's on screen, which slows the page down.

   How to fix: Compress images, serve modern formats like WebP, and add loading="lazy" to images below the fold.

   MinorContent & SEO Readiness

   No published or updated date

   This page shows no published or "last updated" date. Both Google and AI assistants favour content that is clearly current, and a visible date is the simplest freshness signal — undated pages look stale even when they aren't.

   How to fix: Show a published or "Last updated" date on the page, and add datePublished / dateModified to your structured data.

   MinorContent & SEO Readiness

   Question headings without a direct answer

   Your page poses questions in its headings but doesn't answer them concisely right below. AI assistants and Google's AI Overviews quote the short passage that directly resolves a question — a 1–3 sentence answer immediately under the heading — so a question with no tight answer beneath it rarely gets pulled.

   How to fix: Under each question heading, put a direct 1–3 sentence answer first, then expand. Lead with the answer, not the build-up.
