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.

warnDOM size is reasonableStructured data & HTML

Homepage contains ~2077 elements — heavy.

Fix: Aim for under 1500 elements on the homepage. Heavier DOMs slow first paint and overflow some AI crawlers' parse buffers.

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.

warnSemantic landmark elementsStructured data & HTML

Missing landmark elements: main.

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

1 of 12 pages are missing <title> and/or <h1>: /column/the-cost-of-caregiving.

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.

passHomepage content is server-renderedCrawlability (Google)

Homepage server response contains 1448 words of visible text — content is reachable without executing JavaScript.

pass<html lang> attributeStructured data & HTML

Language declared as "en-US".

passImages have alt textStructured data & HTML

25 of 25 <img> tags have alt attributes.

passImages have explicit dimensionsStructured data & HTML

25/25 images set width and height — no layout shift.

passInternal links on homepageStructured data & HTML

27 internal links found.

passSingle H1 on homepageStructured data & HTML

Exactly one <h1> on the homepage.

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?

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.

failCumulative Layout ShiftLighthouse Agentic

0.428

passAccessibility tree is agent-navigableAccessibility

All 3 agent-critical accessibility audits passed — an agent can perceive and operate the page through its accessibility tree.

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

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

passDocument has a `<title>` elementAccessibility

Document has a `<title>` element passed.

pass`<frame>` or `<iframe>` elements have a titleAccessibility

`<frame>` or `<iframe>` elements have a title passed.

passOverall accessibility scoreAccessibility

Lighthouse accessibility score: 94/100. 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

1 of 1 visible interactive form fields have labels.

passCumulative Layout ShiftPerformance

0.040 (field data from CrUX) — good.

passTime to First BytePerformance

301ms (field data from CrUX) — good.

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?

failNo mixed-content referencesSecurity & trust

Found 1 http:// reference 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 403.

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 502.

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.

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.

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
