What happened
Our latest audit of your site found several issues, including slow loading speeds on key pages and broken internal links (direct connections between your website pages). We also detected inconsistent business details across external travel platforms like TripAdvisor and Apple Maps, along with some insecure files on your homepage and large image files slowing down your site performance.
What we suggest
Resize and compress all room and residence images so that guests on mobile phones can view your hotel features instantly without leaving your site.
Correct the business details on your third-party travel listings to ensure potential guests receive accurate information and contact details.
What we need from you
- Approve the budget to fix the page speed and image optimization issues.
- Confirm the desired placement for the merchandise store link on your website.

Shopify scoping
Where the merchandise store link should live
I recommend placing the shop under the About Us menu. It maintains a clean, minimalist design for your top-level navigation while providing a logical home for brand-focused items like merchandise.
