Sitemap Freshness
Action
Sitemap appears abandoned (no lastmod within 1 year)
FIX
Sitemap appears abandoned (no lastmod within 1 year)
Warning::
Sitemap appears abandoned -- newest lastmod is 1 years ago
No URL in the sitemap has been updated in the last year. Search engines treat this as a signal the site is no longer maintained and may deprioritize crawling. Either update the sitemap with current lastmod values or remove it entirely if the site is intentionally static.

Info::
Title uses 2 different separator characters: |, -
The page title `Hannah Seo | Hannah Seo is a Korean-Canadian freelance journ...` uses multiple separator characters (|, -). Consistent separator use is a soft signal of careful editorial control; mixed separators usually mean the title was assembled from multiple template fragments (CMS title + brand + section) without a normalization step. Pick one separator (commonly `|`, `-`, or `:`) and stick with it across the whole site.

1 markup-quality issue(s) detected
Info::
1 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.
