  View source

• 212 internal links, 10 external

  The homepage links to 212 pages on journeys.com and 10 external pages.

• Parts of the site are closed to 6 AI crawlers

  Your robots.txt lets ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User), Claude search (Claude-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User), Perplexity (PerplexityBot) and Perplexity (Perplexity-User) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.

  We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 80 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

• 9 broken images

  9 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://mnrddc.journeys.com/g/uids?pld=yiSJAnmqikB3RkeRnGA0gZiz5oAJXT67or5riHx-DmNaD3fmuR1X3NhL4CQMDgq5NvVp_8IW2E-ixdzJ98LVhRMXuBsTFeVdyL-NymW17Jdef0giYdFCQr0hZlO7SjjHB3hHN5D4ZCW1MWxXUkwC1CQq1IUhwfBZQ.

  Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  Your longest form asks for 9 fields (8 required). Every extra field lowers completion.
