The direct answer

A very large footer can bury useful contact and policy links in repetition. The footer should orient the visitor after the page's main task.

A practical check

Compare repeated sales sections, link groups and verification badges. Check mobile length and whether critical destinations are easy to distinguish.

Choosing the next step

Group useful links clearly and move detailed explanations to dedicated pages. Retain truthful status information without duplicating a full report at the end of every page.
