Discoverability

Can agents find your site and its capabilities?

Understanding

Can agents understand your content?

failSingle H1 on homepageStructured data & HTML

No <h1> tag found on the homepage.

Fix: Add exactly one <h1> that names the page. AI summarisers use it as the document title.

warnMarkdown content negotiationOpen agent protocols

Homepage ignored Accept: text/markdown and returned HTML.

Fix: Serve a markdown version of high-value pages when the client asks for text/markdown. AI summarisers, chatbots and IDE agents prefer markdown — fewer tokens, no DOM noise.

warnImages have alt textStructured data & HTML

30 of 31 images have alt attributes (97%).

Fix: Add alt text to the remaining images. Empty alt="" is fine for purely-decorative graphics.

warnImages have explicit dimensionsStructured data & HTML

Only 19/31 images have width+height — large CLS risk.

Fix: Set width and height on every <img> so the browser reserves space before the image loads. A layout that shifts while loading makes an AI agent mis-click the element it targeted.

warnSemantic landmark elementsStructured data & HTML

Missing landmark elements: main, header.

passHomepage content is server-renderedCrawlability (Google)

Homepage server response contains 577 words of visible text — content is reachable without executing JavaScript.

passDOM size is reasonableStructured data & HTML

Homepage contains ~1157 elements.

passHeading hierarchy is intactStructured data & HTML

15 headings, no level skips.

pass<html lang> attributeStructured data & HTML

Language declared as "en".

passInternal links on homepageStructured data & HTML

151 internal links found.

passKey pages have <title> and <h1>Key pages crawl

All 12 reachable key pages have both a <title> and <h1>.

passKey pages are server-renderedKey pages crawl

All 12 pages return ≥80 words of visible text without JavaScript.

Operability

Can agents actually operate the page?

failLinks do not have a discernible nameAccessibility

Lighthouse flagged this audit — agents may be unable to perceive or operate the affected elements.

Fix: Give every link discernible text (avoid bare icons / "click here") so agents know where it goes.

warnAccessibility tree is agent-navigableAccessibility

1 of 11 agent-critical accessibility audits failed (Links do not have a discernible name) — an agent may be unable to identify or operate the affected elements.

Fix: Fix the failing agent-accessibility audits listed below (accessible names on controls, valid ARIA roles/relationships, nothing interactive hidden from the tree).

warnOverall accessibility scoreAccessibility

Lighthouse accessibility score: 88/100. Agents read the page through its accessibility tree, so this is a proxy for how navigable your site is to an AI agent.

Fix: Resolve the failing accessibility audits below — each one removes an element or relationship an agent would otherwise be blind to.

pass`[aria-*]` attributes match their rolesAccessibility

`[aria-*]` attributes match their roles passed.

pass`button`, `link`, and `menuitem` elements have accessible namesAccessibility

`button`, `link`, and `menuitem` elements have accessible names passed.

pass`[aria-hidden="true"]` is not present on the document `<body>`Accessibility

`[aria-hidden="true"]` is not present on the document `<body>` passed.

infoTool catalog signpost publishedWebMCP tools

No tool catalog was found at /.well-known/webmcp.json (or /.well-known/webmcp). The catalog is a community convention, not part of the WebMCP standard, so this does not affect WebMCP presence.

Fix: Consider also publishing a tool catalog at /.well-known/webmcp.json: a JSON document with a "spec" of "webmcp/0.1" and a "tools" array, where each tool declares a name and a clear description. It is a community convention (optional, not part of the WebMCP standard) that lets crawlers and agents discover your tools without executing JavaScript.

Trust & Security

Can agents safely transact?

warnOAuth authorization server metadataOpen agent protocols

/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server returned 404.

Fix: Publish /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server so AI agents discovering your OAuth setup can negotiate flows automatically. Required if your site offers an authenticated API.

warnOAuth protected-resource metadataOpen agent protocols

/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource returned 404.

Fix: Publish /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource so AI agents discovering your OAuth setup can negotiate flows automatically. Required if your site offers an authenticated API.

warnWeb Bot Auth signature headerOpen agent protocols

No Web Bot Auth signature headers — sites can't verify agent identity.

Fix: Web Bot Auth (IETF HTTP Message Signatures over Signature / Signature-Input) lets you cryptographically verify which agent is hitting you. Several CDNs offer turn-key support; otherwise skip until vendor support matures.

warnReferrer-Policy headerSecurity & trust

No Referrer-Policy header on the homepage.

Fix: Add `Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin` so outbound links don't leak full URLs (including query strings) to third parties.
