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?

failImages have alt textStructured data & HTML

Only 22 of 29 images have alt attributes (76%).

Fix: Add alt text to every <img>. Screen readers and AI vision models both rely on it to caption images.

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.

warnDOM size is reasonableStructured data & HTML

Homepage contains ~2613 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. h2 → h4).

Fix: Tighten the heading order so each level only steps down by one. Skipped levels confuse both screen-readers and AI structural extractors.

warnImages have explicit dimensionsStructured data & HTML

Only 5/29 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.

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

2 of 12 pages are missing <title> and/or <h1>: /en, /en/news-and-events/events/event-programmes/2025.

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 3063 words of visible text — content is reachable without executing JavaScript.

pass<html lang> attributeStructured data & HTML

Language declared as "en".

passInternal links on homepageStructured data & HTML

360 internal links found.

passSemantic landmark elementsStructured data & HTML

All four landmark elements present (main, header, footer, nav).

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?

failForm fields have labelsStructured data & HTML

Only 25 of 39 visible interactive form fields have labels.

Fix: Associate every input with a label. Form-filling agents (and screen readers) need it to know what to type into each field.

failCumulative Layout ShiftPerformance

0.650 (field data from CrUX) — poor.

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.

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.

warnForms use autocomplete attributesStructured data & HTML

No autocomplete attributes on any data-collecting form field.

Fix: Add autocomplete hints (email, tel, name, etc.) so form-filling agents and browsers can populate fields without guessing.

warnForm errors are accessibleStructured data & HTML

0/5 data-collecting forms expose errors via ARIA attributes.

Fix: Wire inputs to their error containers with `aria-describedby` and toggle `aria-invalid` on validation failure. Agents that can't see styled error text rely on these attributes.

warnForms mark required fieldsStructured data & HTML

2/5 data-collecting forms mark required fields.

Fix: Add the `required` attribute (or `aria-required="true"`) to mandatory inputs. Form-filling agents skip optional fields by default — without markers they over-fill.

warnForm fields publish validation hintsStructured data & HTML

3/5 data-collecting forms publish HTML5 validation constraints.

Fix: Add `pattern`, `minlength`, `maxlength` or `min`/`max` to inputs that have rules. Lets the browser (and the agent) validate before submit instead of round-tripping a 400.

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.

Elements with an ARIA `[role]` that require children to contain a specific `[role]` have all required children. passed.

pass`[role]` values are validAccessibility

`[role]` values are valid passed.

passOverall accessibility scoreAccessibility

Lighthouse accessibility score: 97/100. Agents read the page through its accessibility tree, so this is a proxy for how navigable your site is to an AI agent.

passTime to First BytePerformance

414ms (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 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 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.
