Images and page weight
4 images over 500 KB

Page weight: 5.9 MB in 11 requests
5.9 MBYour homepage downloads 5.9 MB in 11 requests on a phone: images 5.9 MB (10) and HTML 13 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (220 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (28 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

SEO
Meta description is long (221 characters)
Your meta description is 221 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (WebPage) but with 1 problem, for example “ld+json block 1 is not valid JSON (Bad control character in string literal in JSON at position )”.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.sanmarcosinn.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
5 links crawlers can't follow
5 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
85 internal links, 22 external
The homepage links to 85 pages on sanmarcosinn.com and 22 external pages.
