Vulnerably Asking For Help!

Hello,
I am writing this post with an overwhelmed feeling. I have no background in website development, affiliate marketing, coding, and the list goes on. I have been at this for six months.
I am a decent writer, which is one of the only things I feel is a strength. My dilemma is that I keep facing problems on my website, and I do not know how to remediate them.
I have no idea how this affects my visibility on Google, and I do not understand what the following errors and warnings are and how to fix them. I don’t even know if they are essential things that I should concern myself.
I know that I am not getting traffic right now, but is that because my niche is seasonal (outdoor patio misters) or because I am having technical issues affecting my site’s visibility on Google.

I even tried to expand my posts to include content about patio things in general, such as patio heaters, furniture covers, winter ideas for the patio, decorating the patio for the holidays, etc. Google has not indexed these posts.
If you have time and can give constructive feedback and solutions for me about my website problems as listed above and take a look at my website and give me the top 5 things you see that I could improve and change, I would be forever grateful.
I have asked for help along the way, and everyone here in WA is fantastic. Sometimes, it is beyond my knowledge base or frustrating to “read” the solution when I don’t understand it. (I have a Master’s Degree, so I just want to put it out there that I am not inept). I am just overwhelmed with all the information.
If you think I could stop worrying about site auditing, I will do that. I do, however, want to know if it is time to throw in the towel or if a few tweaks here and there will help.
I would value feedback that is specific and free of judgment. I am doing the best that I can, and it is tough to put it all out there and be this vulnerable. Thank you.
If I need to change my theme, the website set up, etc. I am open to all of it!
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I know I am asking a lot, but I am discouraged right now.
Your WA colleague and friend,
Erlene Schwartz
