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.

warnKey pages discoveredKey pages crawl

Discovered 12 candidate pages but none were reachable.

Fix: Make sure the pages linked from your sitemap and navigation return HTTP 200 to non-browser clients — agents fetch them the same way our crawler does.

infoWebsite platformplatform

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

Understanding

Can agents understand your content?

failHTML readiness checks ranStructured data & HTML

Homepage returned 403 — couldn't analyse structure.

warnMarkdown content negotiationOpen agent protocols

Homepage returned 403 for Accept: text/markdown.

warnHomepage content is server-renderedCrawlability (Google)

Homepage returned 403.

Operability

Can agents actually operate the page?

failAccessibility tree is agent-navigableAccessibility

3 of 13 agent-critical accessibility audits failed (Links do not have a discernible name, `[aria-*]` attributes do not match their roles, `[role]`s are not contained by their required parent element) — 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).

fail`[aria-*]` attributes do not match their rolesAccessibility

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

Fix: Remove ARIA attributes that aren't allowed on the element's role.

fail`[role]`s are not contained by their required parent elementAccessibility

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

Fix: Ensure ARIA child roles are nested inside their required parent role.

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.

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.

warnOverall accessibility scoreAccessibility

Lighthouse accessibility score: 81/100. 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.

warnTime to First BytePerformance

1.58s (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.

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

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

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

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

passElements with an ARIA `[role]` that require children to contain a specific `[role]` have all required children.Accessibility

Elements with an ARIA `[role]` that require children to contain a specific `[role]` have all required children. passed.

passCumulative Layout ShiftPerformance

0.000 (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 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

Homepage returned 403.

warnHTTP Strict-Transport-Security headerSecurity & trust

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

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