Discoverability

Can agents find your site and its capabilities?

failWebMCP / agent-protocol tools discoveredAgent manifests

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.

passKey pages discoveredKey pages crawl

Crawled 12 of 12 discovered pages beyond the homepage.

infoWebsite platformplatform

Could not identify a known website platform (custom stack or unrecognised).

Understanding

Can agents understand your content?

fail<html lang> attributeStructured data & HTML

No lang attribute on <html>.

Fix: Add lang to the <html> root (e.g. lang="en") so screen readers and AI translation engines pick the right voice / model.

failInternal links on homepageStructured data & HTML

No links found on the homepage.

Fix: Add navigation links so AI crawlers can find the rest of your content. A bare landing page is invisible to anything that doesn't already know where to look.

failSemantic landmark elementsStructured data & HTML

No semantic landmark elements (main, header, footer, nav) detected on the homepage.

Fix: Wrap your page structure in semantic landmarks. AI structural extractors rely on them to separate navigation from content from boilerplate.

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.

warnHomepage content is server-renderedCrawlability (Google)

Homepage server response contains only 9 words of visible text. AI agents that don't execute JavaScript may see an empty page.

Fix: Consider pre-rendering or server-rendering the homepage so AI crawlers (which typically don't run JS) can see the content. Frameworks: Next.js (Server Components), Nuxt SSR, Astro, or Vite SSG.

passDOM size is reasonableStructured data & HTML

Homepage contains ~33 elements.

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?

fail`button`, `link`, and `menuitem` elements do not have accessible names.Accessibility

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

Fix: Give ARIA buttons/links/menuitems an accessible name.

failWebMCP tools registered with the browserWebMCP tools

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.

warnAccessibility tree is agent-navigableAccessibility

1 of 10 agent-critical accessibility audits failed (`button`, `link`, and `menuitem` elements do not have accessible names.) — 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).

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

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

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

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

pass`[aria-hidden="true"]` elements do not contain focusable descendentsAccessibility

`[aria-hidden="true"]` elements do not contain focusable descendents passed.

pass`[role]`s have all required `[aria-*]` attributesAccessibility

`[role]`s have all required `[aria-*]` attributes passed.

pass`[role]` values are validAccessibility

`[role]` values are valid passed.

pass`[aria-*]` attributes are valid and not misspelledAccessibility

`[aria-*]` attributes are valid and not misspelled passed.

pass`[aria-*]` attributes have valid valuesAccessibility

`[aria-*]` attributes have valid values passed.

passDocument has a `<title>` elementAccessibility

Document has a `<title>` element passed.

passLinks have a discernible nameAccessibility

Links have a discernible name passed.

passOverall accessibility scoreAccessibility

Lighthouse accessibility score: 93/100. Agents read the page through its accessibility tree, so this is a proxy for how navigable your site is to an AI agent.

passCumulative Layout ShiftPerformance

0.000 (field data from CrUX) — good.

passTime to First BytePerformance

468ms (field data from CrUX) — good.

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.

warnHTTP Strict-Transport-Security headerSecurity & trust

HSTS configured (max-age=31536000) but missing includeSubDomains.

Fix: Add `includeSubDomains` so subdomains inherit the policy.

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.

warnMIME-sniff protectionSecurity & trust

No `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` header.

Fix: Add `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` to prevent browsers (and some agents) from re-interpreting your responses as a different content type.

passCDN detectedSecurity & trust

x-akamai-transformed: 9 - 0 pmb=mRUM,1 (Akamai)

passContent-Security-Policy headerSecurity & trust

CSP header present.

passSite is served over HTTPSSecurity & trust

Homepage scheme is https:.

passhttp:// redirects to https://Security & trust

http://dw.com → https://www.dw.com/ (1 hop).

passHomepage shows no error outputSecurity & trust

No stack-trace markers in the first 5KB.

passNo mixed-content referencesSecurity & trust

Homepage HTML references no http:// resources.

passTLS certificate is not near expirySecurity & trust

Valid for 242 more days (Mar 20 23:59:59 2027 GMT, issuer: Thawte TLS RSA CA G1).

passNo tech-stack disclosure in headersSecurity & trust

Server / X-Powered-By headers don't leak product version.

passClick-jacking protectionSecurity & trust

CSP frame-ancestors directive present.
