 Name of the business: Buffalo Nickel Crossfit.

 Title tags are not optimized: Some title tags are missing and a lot are
over 60 characters.
 Meta-descriptions are not optimized: Near complete lack of meta-
descriptions.
 Error pages: I have encountred a few broken internal links.
Note: The website has very low google rankings (I found it
on the 5th or 6th page for most searches I tried) and seems
to recquire a great deal of SEO efforts to be fixed.

 Opportunities also exist to enhance the user experience

and traffic by optimizing image metadata (like alternative
text) and resizing images for faster loading times.
 Basic technical aspects, including the sitemap.xml and
robots.txt, are well-maintained and in good order.
 However, the site may present too many 404 error pages, as
there are currently 14 instances of 404 pages out of a total of 129
HTML pages on the site.
 Furthermore, within these 404 pages, there are 9 instances of
broken links, such as anchor text in other posts on the same

 All URL formats for the website efficiently redirect to the secure HTTPS
version, ensuring a secure and consistent user experience.

 However, the current site architecture has room for improvement. Blog posts
are located within the same folder as the main blog page, which is less
organized and not ideal for SEO. A recommended structure involves placing
blog posts within a dedicated blog subdirectory.
This is a rough visualization This is how the website actually
of the website architecture: functions:
  While the primary site pages have been optimized for mobile devices,
ensuring a mobile-friendly user experience, the majority of the site's content,
consisting of blog post pages, is unfortunately not currently optimized for
mobile use, potentially leading to a suboptimal user experience.
