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 5 of 12 discovered pages beyond the homepage.

Lighthouse Agentic Browsing audits ran.

infoWebsite platformplatform

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

Understanding

Can agents understand your content?

failSemantic landmark elementsStructured data & HTML

No semantic landmark elements (main, header, footer, nav) detected on the homepage.

Fix: Wrap your page structure in semantic landmarks. AI structural extractors rely on them to separate navigation from content from boilerplate.

failSingle H1 on homepageStructured data & HTML

No <h1> tag found on the homepage.

Fix: Add exactly one <h1> that names the page. AI summarisers use it as the document title.

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.

warnHomepage content is server-renderedCrawlability (Google)

Homepage server response contains only 51 words of visible text. AI agents that don't execute JavaScript may see an empty page.

Fix: Consider pre-rendering or server-rendering the homepage so AI crawlers (which typically don't run JS) can see the content. Frameworks: Next.js (Server Components), Nuxt SSR, Astro, or Vite SSG.

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

5 of 5 pages are missing <title> and/or <h1>: /about?autoplay=1, /plans, /about, /about-us, /blog.

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

3 of 5 pages return <80 words of visible text — agents without JavaScript see an empty page: /plans (2w), /about-us (50w), /blog (57w).

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.

passDOM size is reasonableStructured data & HTML

Homepage contains ~445 elements.

passHeading hierarchy is intactStructured data & HTML

2 headings, no level skips.

pass<html lang> attributeStructured data & HTML

Language declared as "en".

passImages have alt textStructured data & HTML

1 of 1 <img> tags have alt attributes.

passImages have explicit dimensionsStructured data & HTML

1/1 images set width and height — no layout shift.

passInternal links on homepageStructured data & HTML

11 internal links found.

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.

warnCumulative Layout ShiftPerformance

0.200 (field data from CrUX) — needs improvement.

Fix: A layout that shifts while loading makes an AI agent mis-click the element it targeted. Eliminate CLS by setting explicit width/height on images and embeds, avoiding inserted content above existing content, and reserving space for ad slots.

warnTime to First BytePerformance

857ms (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.

passAccessibility tree is agent-navigableAccessibility

All 9 agent-critical accessibility audits passed — an agent can perceive and operate the page through its accessibility tree.

passOverall accessibility scoreAccessibility

Lighthouse accessibility score: 92/100. Agents read the page through its accessibility tree, so this is a proxy for how navigable your site is to an AI agent.

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 the site's HTML app shell — treating as not published.

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 the site's HTML app shell — treating as not published.

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.

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.
