Can agents find your site and its capabilities?
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.
Crawled 4 of 12 discovered pages beyond the homepage.
Could not identify a known website platform (custom stack or unrecognised).
Can agents understand your content?
No <h1> tag found on the homepage.
Fix: Add exactly one <h1> that names the page. AI summarisers use it as the document title.
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.
Homepage contains ~2218 elements — heavy.
Fix: Aim for under 1500 elements on the homepage. Heavier DOMs slow first paint and overflow some AI crawlers' parse buffers.
lang=""en"lang="en"" doesn't look like a valid BCP-47 language tag.
Fix: Use a valid BCP-47 value (e.g. lang="en" or lang="en-GB") so screen readers and AI translation engines pick the right voice / model.
Only 0/19 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.
Missing landmark elements: main, nav.
2 of 4 pages are missing <title> and/or <h1>: /contact, /news.
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.
2 of 4 pages return <80 words of visible text — agents without JavaScript see an empty page: /contact (9w), /news (0w).
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.
Homepage server response contains 1478 words of visible text — content is reachable without executing JavaScript.
48 headings, no level skips.
19 of 19 <img> tags have alt attributes.
12 internal links found.
Can agents actually operate the page?
6 of 15 agent-critical accessibility audits failed (Buttons do not have an accessible name, Links do not have a discernible name, ARIA input fields do not have accessible names, `[aria-*]` attributes do not match their roles, Elements with an ARIA `[role]` that require children to contain a specific `[role]` are missing some or all of those required children., `[role]`s are not contained by their required parent element) — 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).
Lighthouse flagged this audit — agents may be unable to perceive or operate the affected elements.
Fix: Remove ARIA attributes that aren't allowed on the element's role.
Lighthouse flagged this audit — agents may be unable to perceive or operate the affected elements.
Fix: Give ARIA input fields an accessible name.
Lighthouse flagged this audit — agents may be unable to perceive or operate the affected elements.
Fix: Ensure ARIA roles that need specific children contain them (e.g. list → listitem).
Lighthouse flagged this audit — agents may be unable to perceive or operate the affected elements.
Fix: Ensure ARIA child roles are nested inside their required parent role.
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.
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.
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.
Lighthouse accessibility score: 69/100. 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.
968ms (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.
`button`, `link`, and `menuitem` elements have accessible names passed.
`[aria-hidden="true"]` is not present on the document `<body>` passed.
`[aria-hidden="true"]` elements do not contain focusable descendents passed.
`[role]`s have all required `[aria-*]` attributes passed.
`[role]` values are valid passed.
ARIA toggle fields have accessible names passed.
`[aria-*]` attributes are valid and not misspelled passed.
`[aria-*]` attributes have valid values passed.
Document has a `<title>` element passed.
0.040 (field data from CrUX) — good.
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.
Can agents safely transact?
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.
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.
/.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.
/.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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
