Code:
https://mattersofsize.com/index.htmlIt’s currently indexed by Google and appears in search results.

- Gives the impression the site is inactive or abandoned.

Quick fix options:
- Remove or rename the file from the server.
- Add a redirect from /index.html to the current homepage.
- Use Search Console’s “Remove outdated content” tool to clear it from Google’s index.
