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?

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.

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

12 of 12 pages are missing <title> and/or <h1>: /dyn_img/sitemap/mcom_sitemap_pdp_ar.xml.gz, /dyn_img/sitemap/mcom_sitemap_pdp_ba.xml.gz, /dyn_img/sitemap/mcom_sitemap_facets_aa.xml.gz, /dyn_img/sitemap/mcom_sitemap_facets_ae.xml.gz, /dyn_img/sitemap/mcom_sitemap_pdp_ag.xml.gz, /dyn_img/sitemap/mcom_sitemap_pdp_am.xml.gz, /dyn_img/sitemap/mcom_sitemap_1_homepg.xml.gz, /dyn_img/sitemap/mcom_sitemap_pdp_ai.xml.gz, /dyn_img/sitemap/mcom_sitemap_pdp_an.xml.gz, /dyn_img/sitemap/mcom_sitemap_pdp_ax.xml.gz, /dyn_img/sitemap/mcom_sitemap_onsite_aa.xml.gz, /dyn_img/sitemap/mcom_sitemap_pdp_bc.xml.gz.

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.

warnKey pages are server-renderedKey pages crawl

1 of 12 pages return <80 words of visible text — agents without JavaScript see an empty page: /dyn_img/sitemap/mcom_sitemap_1_homepg.xml.gz (4w).

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.

Operability

Can agents actually operate the page?

failButtons do not have an accessible nameAccessibility

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

Fix: Give every <button> discernible text or an aria-label so agents can identify it.

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.

warnAccessibility tree is agent-navigableAccessibility

2 of 12 agent-critical accessibility audits failed (Buttons do not have an accessible name, Links do not have a discernible name) — 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).

warnOverall accessibility scoreAccessibility

Lighthouse accessibility score: 88/100. 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

856ms (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.

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?

failHTTP Strict-Transport-Security headerSecurity & trust

No Strict-Transport-Security header on the homepage.

Fix: Add `Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=15768000; includeSubDomains` so browsers and agents refuse to downgrade to http for at least six months.

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

Homepage returned 403.

warnContent-Security-Policy headerSecurity & trust

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.

warnHomepage shows no error outputSecurity & trust

Homepage returned 403 — couldn't scan for error markers.

warnNo mixed-content referencesSecurity & trust

Homepage returned 403 — couldn't scan for mixed content.

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.

warnClick-jacking protectionSecurity & trust

No X-Frame-Options header and no CSP frame-ancestors directive.

Fix: Add `X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN` (or a CSP frame-ancestors directive) to prevent your site being framed by a phishing host.

passCDN detectedSecurity & trust

passSite is served over HTTPSSecurity & trust

passNo tech-stack disclosure in headersSecurity & trust

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