Priority fixes for theprint.in
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Enable
Meta description written
Observed: The homepage had no meta description.
Why it matters: Search engines often use it for the snippet under your link, so a clear description can improve click-through.
What to do: Write a short, specific description of the page for people, not a list of keywords.
95% of News & Media peers do this. Limit: Based on the homepage HTML delivered to an automated client; scripts that run later were not executed.
