warning Schema describes content not visible on the page
Rule schema.hidden_content · Structured Data · 1 occurrence(s)
- https://www.mjdoell.com/gdc-presentation — a schema name/headline ("Frostbite: Implementing a Scripting Solution for Your Editor") does not appear in the page's visible text — Google's policies prohibit marking up content not visible to readers. This is a heuristic (a static-HTML substring check): JS-rendered or abbreviated names can be false positives, so verify before removing.

notice Main text is hard to read (low Flesch Reading Ease)
Rule content.readability_poor · Content · 3 occurrence(s)
- https://www.mjdoell.com/game-development — this page reads as difficult (Flesch Reading Ease 48, below 50) — long sentences and multi-syllable words make it hard to scan.

notice Image alt text is keyword-stuffed (repetition / low variety)
Rule images.alt_stuffed · Images · 1 occurrence(s)
- https://www.mjdoell.com/ — 2 image(s) have keyword-stuffed alt text — the same word repeated several times, or a long low-variety keyword list. Google's image guidance asks for short, descriptive alt text, not keyword lists; rewrite it to describe the image.
notice Likely hero image lacks fetchpriority=high
Rule images.hero_no_fetchpriority · Performance · 3 occurrence(s)
