Your website's health is 50 out of 100
We read 6 pages of gayaislandresort.com on 18 October 2026, the way Google and AI assistants do, and found 15 things to fix. These cost you the most guests:
- 1Browsers mark your website as not secure
Guests see a warning beside your address, and many leave before they book.
What to do: Ask your web host to switch on a free security certificate and send every visit to it. Most do it in a day.
- 2Your home page doesn't say whose it is
Google and AI assistants read a page's title and top line to know what it is about.
What to do: Put your hotel's name and town in your home page's title and as its first heading.
- 3Some links on your website lead nowhere
A guest who clicks one gets an error page instead of your rooms.
What to do: Ask whoever looks after your website to fix or remove them.
- A button to book on your home page
- No WhatsApp link, where most guests in India ask first
- A phone number a guest can tap to call
- AI assistants can read your website
Two things to do this week
Each one comes from what we found above, and each wins back guests who book you direct.
- 1Get Agoda to stop undercutting you
It sells your room for up to RM178 less than your own website, so guests who compare book there, and you pay about 17% of the room.
How: Check the rates you load on each, and ask your account manager there to match your website. Then say “best price on our website” beside your booking button.
- 2Browsers mark your website as not secure
Guests see a warning beside your address, and many leave before they book.
How: Ask your web host to switch on a free security certificate and send every visit to it. Most do it in a day.
With OneHorizyn you see every week whether each one worked, in guests and in rupees.
