Header or locale navigation · <nav>
https://yourquarter.au/ownersWhat we saw
"In New Zealand? Visit quarter.nz for body corporates."; listed locales: ["en-au","en-nz"]
How to fix it
Provide explicit locale links for each page and map the current path to its equivalent locale path, not only to the locale homepage.
Sitemap
Fail60technicalWeight 1Like Lighthouse: a valid XML sitemap must be discoverable, robots.txt should reference it with an absolute Sitemap: URL, and localized URLs should appear for published locales.

Sitemap is missing localized URLs
A sitemap was found, but sampled entries do not include locale-prefixed URLs.
Found here
Sitemap · sitemap.xml
https://yourquarter.au/sitemap.xmlWhat we saw

"htmlLang":null
How to fix it
Set the root <html lang> value to the page locale, such as `en-AU` or `en-NZ`, on every localized page.
Localized images and assets
Watch88visualWeight 1Language-specific images and alt text should match the page locale.
Text overflow
Watch84visualWeight 3Measured in the rendered page: localized buttons, links, labels, and headings should not clip their text more than the source page does.
Layout breakage
Watch84visualWeight 3Measured at desktop width: localized pages should not push content past the viewport when the source page does not.
Responsive localisation
Watch82visualWeight 2Measured at mobile width: localized pages should not scroll sideways or clip labels when the source page does not.
