Few Recommendations
1. Site theme is mobile friendly but just because font size is 12px, its mobile friendly score is very less.
Font size must be increased from 12px to 16px to make site more mobile friendly. As it’s also an
important factor in Google ranking.
2. H1 headings are very small and for better user experience ,H1 size should be at least 40px
3. H2 size should be at least 30px
4. Social Signals from Twitter are not so effective.
5. More Sharing from inner pages is required.
6. Page on Google business for local SEO should be incorporated.
7. Color selection for text on pages needs a review for better UX/UI.
8. Owner needs to invest on schema.org of pages and images.
