Can agents find your site and its capabilities?
The page registers no tools via the WebMCP browser API (navigator.modelContext).
Fix: Expose your actions to AI agents with the WebMCP browser API: register tools via navigator.modelContext.registerTool. Optionally also publish a /.well-known/webmcp.json tool catalog as a discovery signpost.
Per llmstxt.org, follow the H1 with a "> short summary" blockquote.
Fix: Add a "> One-sentence description of your site." blockquote under the H1.
Found https://americanexpress.com/llms.txt.
Found at least one "[name](url)" markdown link.
First line is a top-level "# Title" heading.
Crawled 3 of 12 discovered pages beyond the homepage.
Could not identify a known website platform (custom stack or unrecognised).
Can agents understand your content?
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.
Homepage contains ~1814 elements — heavy.
Fix: Aim for under 1500 elements on the homepage. Heavier DOMs slow first paint and overflow some AI crawlers' parse buffers.
Detected 2 heading level skips (e.g. h2 → h4).
Fix: Tighten the heading order so each level only steps down by one. Skipped levels confuse both screen-readers and AI structural extractors.
20 of 21 images have alt attributes (95%).
Fix: Add alt text to the remaining images. Empty alt="" is fine for purely-decorative graphics.
Only 0/21 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.
Only 0 internal links on the homepage.
Fix: Add at least 5-10 internal links pointing to your top product, pricing, docs, blog and about pages so an AI agent can navigate to them from the homepage.
Missing landmark elements: main.
2 of 3 pages are missing <title> and/or <h1>: /contact, /pricing.
Fix: Make sure every page sets a unique <title> and exactly one <h1>. The title is how an AI agent confirms it landed on the right page after navigating.
1 of 3 pages return <80 words of visible text — agents without JavaScript see an empty page: /pricing (0w).
Fix: Pre-render or server-render these pages so AI crawlers (which usually don't execute JS) can read them. Frameworks: Next.js Server Components, Nuxt SSR, Astro, or build-time prerendering.
Homepage server response contains 1078 words of visible text — content is reachable without executing JavaScript.
Language declared as "nl-NL".
Exactly one <h1> on the homepage.
Can agents actually operate the page?
The page registers no tools via the navigator.modelContext browser API, so an AI agent has no structured way to operate it.
Fix: Expose your site’s actions to AI agents with the WebMCP browser API: call navigator.modelContext.registerTool({ name, description, inputSchema, execute }) from your page so an agent can invoke them. Implement it directly, or with a library like the @mcp-b polyfill (https://mcp-b.ai). Spec: https://github.com/webmachinelearning/webmcp.
828ms (field data from CrUX) — needs improvement.
Fix: Every request an AI agent makes pays this server latency, and agents make many requests per task. Reduce TTFB with edge caching, a CDN, and shipping less server-side work per request.
All 10 agent-critical accessibility audits passed — an agent can perceive and operate the page through its accessibility tree.
`[aria-*]` attributes match their roles passed.
`[aria-hidden="true"]` is not present on the document `<body>` passed.
`[aria-hidden="true"]` elements do not contain focusable descendents passed.
`[role]`s have all required `[aria-*]` attributes passed.
`[role]` values are valid passed.
`[aria-*]` attributes are valid and not misspelled passed.
`[aria-*]` attributes have valid values passed.
Buttons have an accessible name passed.
Document has a `<title>` element passed.
Links have a discernible name passed.
Lighthouse accessibility score: 95/100. Agents read the page through its accessibility tree, so this is a proxy for how navigable your site is to an AI agent.
1 of 1 visible interactive form fields have labels.
0.010 (field data from CrUX) — good.
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.
Can agents safely transact?
/.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.
/.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.
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.
No Content-Security-Policy header on the homepage.
Fix: Add a Content-Security-Policy. Even a strict default-src directive cuts XSS blast radius dramatically. Start in report-only mode to find violations.
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.
