  • HTTPS works but visitors who type the address land on the insecure http version
  • your phone number, (number), is plain text, not a tap-to-call link - iPhones guess at it, but on Android phones tapping it does nothing, so the caller has to copy it by hand, and many just call the next business instead
  • the site runs WordPress 5.3.26, the 5.3 line from 2019 - it still gets security patches, but it is years of fixes and features behind, and current plugin and theme updates often need WordPress 6 or later, so they cannot install

Restaurantt*************.comcustom / unknown
  • no working HTTPS - browsers mark the site 'Not secure' and search engines rank it lower
  • no mobile viewport tag - the site renders as a shrunken desktop page on phones, where most local customers look
  • your phone number, (number), is plain text, not a tap-to-call link - iPhones guess at it, but on Android phones tapping it does nothing, so the caller has to copy it by hand, and many just call the next business instead

  • 11 of the site's own links are dead (502, 502, 502, 502, 502)
  • its domain without the www does not open - anyone who types the short address gets an error page instead of your site
  • 1 image over 1 MB on the home page - the page loads slowly on mobile data and Google scores it down

  • no working HTTPS - browsers mark the site 'Not secure' and search engines rank it lower
  • no mobile viewport tag - the site renders as a shrunken desktop page on phones, where most local customers look
  • the home page has no <title>, so the Google result shows the bare address

  • its domain publishes no SPF record, no DKIM key and no DMARC policy - Gmail has required SPF or DKIM from every sender since February 2024, so your own emails risk the spam folder, and nothing stops a stranger sending email as its domain
  • your phone number, (number), is plain text, not a tap-to-call link - iPhones guess at it, but on Android phones tapping it does nothing, so the caller has to copy it by hand, and many just call the next business instead
  • the footer still says copyright 2008 - visitors read that as 'closed or not maintained'
