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.

failllms.txt does not follow recommendationsLighthouse Agentic

If your llms.txt file does not follow recommendations, large language models may not be able to understand how you want your website to be crawled or used for training. The [llms.txt](https://llmstxt.org/) file should be a Markdown file containing at least one H1 header.

passKey pages discoveredKey pages crawl

Crawled 12 of 12 discovered pages beyond the homepage.

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.

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.

warnData tables use <thead>Structured data & HTML

0 of 1 tables have <thead>.

Fix: Wrap table headings in <thead><tr><th> so AI tabular extractors can map rows to columns reliably.

warnImages have explicit dimensionsStructured data & HTML

Only 1/2 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

12 of 12 pages are missing <title> and/or <h1>: /contact-us/address/0001-0000-paye.aspx, /contact-us/address/0001-0001-paye.aspx, /contact-us/address/0001-0002-paye.aspx, /contact-us/address/0001-0003-paye.aspx, /contact-us/address/0001-0004-paye.aspx, /contact-us/address/0001-0005-paye.aspx, /contact-us/address/0001-0006-paye.aspx, /contact-us/address/0001-0020-paye.aspx, /contact-us/address/0001-0021-paye.aspx, /contact-us/address/0001-0022-paye.aspx, /contact-us/address/0001-0023-paye.aspx, /contact-us/address/0001-0024-paye.aspx.

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

12 of 12 pages return <80 words of visible text — agents without JavaScript see an empty page: /contact-us/address/0001-0000-paye.aspx (1w), /contact-us/address/0001-0001-paye.aspx (1w), /contact-us/address/0001-0002-paye.aspx (1w), /contact-us/address/0001-0003-paye.aspx (1w), /contact-us/address/0001-0004-paye.aspx (1w), /contact-us/address/0001-0005-paye.aspx (1w), /contact-us/address/0001-0006-paye.aspx (1w), /contact-us/address/0001-0020-paye.aspx (1w), /contact-us/address/0001-0021-paye.aspx (1w), /contact-us/address/0001-0022-paye.aspx (1w), /contact-us/address/0001-0023-paye.aspx (1w), /contact-us/address/0001-0024-paye.aspx (1w).

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.

passHomepage content is server-renderedCrawlability (Google)

Homepage server response contains 1186 words of visible text — content is reachable without executing JavaScript.

passCookie banner does not block crawlersStructured data & HTML

Detected 5 cookie-banner elements but none look agent-hostile (small, dismissible, or offer a reject option).

passDOM size is reasonableStructured data & HTML

Homepage contains ~363 elements.

passHeading hierarchy is intactStructured data & HTML

23 headings, no level skips.

pass<html lang> attributeStructured data & HTML

Language declared as "en-GB".

passImages have alt textStructured data & HTML

2 of 2 <img> tags have alt attributes.

passInternal links on homepageStructured data & HTML

49 internal links found.

passSingle H1 on homepageStructured data & HTML

Exactly one <h1> on the homepage.

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.

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?

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.

failNo mixed-content referencesSecurity & trust

Found 2 http:// references 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 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.

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.

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
