Title, description, canonical, social tags — what search engines read first.

• Meta descriptionhigh impactlow effort

  Meta description is "Ingeniería y digitalización para operaciones industriales en Pereira, Colombia. Automatización PLC, VDF, instrumentación, retrofitting, software a la medida y plataforma IIoT, SST y Activos." (190 characters)

  Search engines truncate descriptions past roughly 160 characters, and very short ones waste the snippet space that persuades searchers to pick your listing over the next one. Rewrite it to 70–160 characters: state what the page offers, work the primary keyword in naturally (matching words get bolded in results), and end with a benefit or call to action. Don't cram in keywords — the description influences clicks, not rankings, so write it for humans.

• Canonical URLmedium impactlow effort

  Canonical href is "https://askillco.com" (host askillco.com does not match page host www.askillco.com)

  This canonical tells search engines that another host owns the content, so they will typically index that URL and drop this one from results entirely. Unless this is deliberate syndication, update the href to this page's own URL on its own host — and make sure www vs non-www matches your preferred domain. The usual cause is a template copied between environments, so check that a staging or legacy domain isn't hard-coded in the site layout.

Headings, copy depth, images, structured data, internal linking.

• Image alt textmedium impactlow effort

  11 of 15 images have alt text

  Alt text is how search engines understand what an image shows — it feeds image-search rankings and is what screen readers announce to blind visitors. Add a short, specific alt attribute to every meaningful image, describing the content rather than listing keywords: alt="Golden retriever puppy playing in snow" beats alt="dog puppy pet animal". Give purely decorative images an empty alt="" instead of omitting the attribute, so assistive technology knows to skip them rather than reading out the filename.

HTTPS, redirects, robots, sitemap, speed, crawlability.

• Fast time to first bytehigh impactmedium effort

  1870 ms

  Time to first byte is the floor under every other speed metric — the browser can't parse, render, or fetch anything until the first byte arrives, so a slow TTFB drags down all Core Web Vitals and tests crawlers' patience. Add caching in front of the origin: full-page caching at a CDN (Cloudflare, Fastly) helps most, followed by server-side caches (Redis, object caching) and indexes on slow database queries. Measure from locations near your actual users — tuning only your fastest region leaves distant visitors just as slow.

• Short redirect chainmedium impactlow effort

  https://askillco.com/ (308) → https://www.askillco.com/

  Every redirect hop adds a round-trip before the visitor sees anything, each hop can leak a little link equity, and crawlers abandon long chains — which can leave the destination page undiscovered. Trace the chain above and point the first URL directly at the final destination in a single 301; commonly this means merging separate http-to-https and non-www-to-www rules into one combined redirect. Also update internal links to reference the final URL directly, so most visitors never enter the chain at all.

• Response compression enabledlow impactlow effort

  no content-encoding header

  This HTML is served uncompressed, so every visitor downloads far more bytes than necessary — text compresses extremely well, and the savings directly speed up first render on slow connections. Enable Brotli or gzip on your server or CDN: in nginx it's "gzip on;" (or the brotli module), in Apache it's mod_deflate via .htaccess, and on most CDNs it's a single toggle. Make sure compression covers all text types (HTML, CSS, JS, JSON, SVG), but skip already-compressed images — recompressing them wastes CPU for no gain.
