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.

pass/llms.txt guide for AI agentsAgent manifests

Found https://hl.co.uk/llms.txt.

pass/llms.txt lists key pages as markdown linksAgent manifests

Found at least one "[name](url)" markdown link.

pass/llms.txt has a summary blockquoteAgent manifests

Found a "> summary" blockquote.

pass/llms.txt opens with an H1 titleAgent manifests

First line is a top-level "# Title" heading.

passKey pages discoveredKey pages crawl

Crawled 4 of 12 discovered pages beyond the homepage.

passllms.txt follows recommendationsLighthouse Agentic

If your llms.txt file does not follow recommendations, large language models may not be able to understand how you want your website to be crawled or used for training. The [llms.txt](https://llmstxt.org/) file should be a Markdown file containing at least one H1 header.

Lighthouse Agentic Browsing audits ran.

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

Understanding

Can agents understand your content?

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.

warnHeading hierarchy is intactStructured data & HTML

Detected 2 heading level skips (e.g. h1 → h3).

Fix: Tighten the heading order so each level only steps down by one. Skipped levels confuse both screen-readers and AI structural extractors.

warnImages have explicit dimensionsStructured data & HTML

11/13 images have explicit width+height.

Fix: Add width and height to every <img>. Without them the browser doesn't know the aspect ratio and reflows the page on load (CLS).

warnInternal links on homepageStructured data & HTML

Only 1 internal link 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.

passHomepage content is server-renderedCrawlability (Google)

Homepage server response contains 1601 words of visible text — content is reachable without executing JavaScript.

passDOM size is reasonableStructured data & HTML

Homepage contains ~1291 elements.

pass<html lang> attributeStructured data & HTML

Language declared as "en".

passImages have alt textStructured data & HTML

13 of 13 <img> tags have alt attributes.

passSemantic landmark elementsStructured data & HTML

All four landmark elements present (main, header, footer, nav).

passSingle H1 on homepageStructured data & HTML

Exactly one <h1> on the homepage.

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

All 4 reachable key pages have both a <title> and <h1>.

passKey pages are server-renderedKey pages crawl

All 4 pages return ≥80 words of visible text without JavaScript.

Operability

Can agents actually operate the page?

failAccessibility tree is not well-formedLighthouse Agentic

A well-formed [accessibility tree](http://goo.gle/lighthouse-agentic-a11y) helps AI agents to navigate and interact with the page.

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.

passAccessibility tree is agent-navigableAccessibility

All 11 agent-critical accessibility audits passed — an agent can perceive and operate the page through its accessibility tree.

passOverall accessibility scoreAccessibility

Lighthouse accessibility score: 99/100. Agents read the page through its accessibility tree, so this is a proxy for how navigable your site is to an AI agent.

1 form missing annotations

infoWebMCP tools registeredLighthouse Agentic

Lists the [WebMCP tools](http://goo.gle/webmcp-docs) registered at the time of analysis.

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=63072000) but missing includeSubDomains.

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