8. The trust signals a reader and a machine both look for

What this is

Eight mechanical, countable things a person can walk over to your page and check: a named author, a page about that author, a date a reader can see, links out to sources, concrete numbers, a way to make contact, an about page that answers, and a company identity.

This check did not run

The reason recorded for vitadefence.com was:

The site did not answer within the time limit while this check ran - a connection problem on the day, not a finding about your pages. The check’s own note: the site could not be read (URLError: <urlopen error _ssl.c:1012: The handshake operation timed out>), so nothing is claimed

No result is claimed either way. This is not a clean pass and it is not an empty finding — the check did not complete, and this chapter exists to tell you so.

What we found on vitadefence.com

Nothing. This check produced no measurement of vitadefence.com, so this chapter teaches nothing and asks you to do nothing.

Step 1 — Have it run again

Ask for this one check to be run again once vitadefence.com answers normally. Nothing in this chapter should be acted on until it has.
