Priority fixes for intercom.help
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Enable
XML sitemap discoverable
Observed: No sitemap was listed in robots.txt or found at /sitemap.xml.
Why it matters: A sitemap helps search engines find new and updated pages, especially on large or frequently updated sites.
What to do: Generate an XML sitemap of canonical URLs, reference it in robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console.
61% of Business Tools peers do this. Limit: Only the standard location was requested, once, at the time of the check.
Guide: XML Sitemap Guide: Include Only URLs You Stand Behind
Priority 2 · Accelerate
No render-blocking scripts in <head>
Observed: The homepage <head> loaded 1 external script without async or defer.
What to do: Add defer to scripts that need the DOM, async to independent ones such as analytics, or move them to the end of the body.
On Next.js: Use the next/script component with an appropriate loading strategy.
46% of Business Tools peers do this.
Guide: Control Third-Party Scripts Before They Control Your Page
Priority 3 · Enable
At most one redirect to the homepage
Observed: The homepage was reached after 2 redirects.
What to do: Point every alternate address (http, www or apex, old paths) straight to the final URL in a single redirect.
94% of Business Tools peers do this.
Priority 4 · Harden
Certificate lifetime of 100 days or less
Observed: The certificate from Amazon had a 197-day validity period, longer than the 100-day maximum that applies from March 2027.
What to do: Move to automated issuance and renewal now, while you still have time to test it.
56% of Business Tools peers do this.
