Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility

AI search readiness
robots.txt blocks 6 AI answer engine crawlers
6 of 6Your robots.txt shuts out ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User), Claude search (Claude-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User), Perplexity (PerplexityBot) and Perplexity (Perplexity-User). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.
Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers.
3 checks passed
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and contact details; sameAs (social profiles) and description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML

Other pages
1 page points its canonical at the homepage
https://www.meridiangrooming.dev/products/the-spray declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
2 linked pages hidden from search
https://www.meridiangrooming.dev/products/the-up-here-trimmer and https://www.meridiangrooming.dev/products/complete-routine are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages share a title
/ and https://www.meridiangrooming.dev/products/the-spray all use the title “Personal Grooming Products for Everyone | Meridian Grooming”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
