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 10 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?

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 explicit dimensionsStructured data & HTML

Only 17/76 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.

passHomepage content is server-renderedCrawlability (Google)

Homepage server response contains 1427 words of visible text — content is reachable without executing JavaScript.

passDOM size is reasonableStructured data & HTML

Homepage contains ~583 elements.

passHeading hierarchy is intactStructured data & HTML

12 headings, no level skips.

pass<html lang> attributeStructured data & HTML

Language declared as "en".

passImages have alt textStructured data & HTML

76 of 76 <img> tags have alt attributes.

passInternal links on homepageStructured data & HTML

83 internal links found.

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

passKey pages are server-renderedKey pages crawl

All 10 pages return ≥80 words of visible text without JavaScript.

Operability

Can agents actually operate 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 12 agent-critical accessibility audits passed — an agent can perceive and operate the page through its accessibility tree.

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

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

passUses ARIA roles only on compatible elementsAccessibility

Uses ARIA roles only on compatible elements 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.

passARIA input fields have accessible namesAccessibility

ARIA input fields have accessible names 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.

passButtons have an accessible nameAccessibility

Buttons have an accessible name 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: 100/100. Agents read the page through its accessibility tree, so this is a proxy for how navigable your site is to an AI agent.

passForm fields have labelsStructured data & HTML

2 of 2 visible interactive form fields have labels.

passCumulative Layout ShiftPerformance

0.010 (field data from CrUX) — good.

passTime to First BytePerformance

218ms (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?

failNo mixed-content referencesSecurity & trust

Found 3 http:// references in the homepage HTML — browsers will block these resources.

Fix: Update every http:// resource URL to https:// (or use protocol-relative `//`). Common offenders: image CDNs and legacy embed snippets.

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 max-age=3600 is below six months.

Fix: Raise max-age to at least 15768000 (six months). The HSTS preload list requires 31536000 (one year).

passCDN detectedSecurity & trust

cf-ray: a1eb20cd1cca38ee-AMS (Cloudflare); Server: cloudflare

passContent-Security-Policy headerSecurity & trust

CSP header present.

passSite is served over HTTPSSecurity & trust

passHomepage shows no error outputSecurity & trust

No stack-trace markers in the first 5KB.

passReferrer-Policy headerSecurity & trust

Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade.

passTLS certificate is not near expirySecurity & trust

Valid for 89 more days (Oct 18 18:42:58 2026 GMT, issuer: WE1).

passClick-jacking protectionSecurity & trust

X-Frame-Options: sameorigin.
