Sitemap Freshness
ActionSitemap exists but no <lastmod> entries
Sitemap exists but no <lastmod> entries
Info::
Sitemap has no <lastmod> entries
Without lastmod, Google can't tell which URLs have changed since the last crawl -- it falls back to crawling everything periodically. Adding lastmod (date or ISO 8601 timestamp) on each <url> entry signals freshness so the crawler prioritizes recently-modified pages.

2 redundant ARIA role attribute(s) on native semantic element(s)
The W3C "ARIA in HTML" spec calls this its first rule: don't use ARIA when a native HTML element already conveys the semantics. `<button role="button">`, `<a href role="link">`, `<nav role="navigation">`, `<main role="main">` -- the role attribute either does nothing or shadows the native semantic, occasionally breaking assistive-tech behaviors. Remove the redundant role.
