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.

infoLighthouse Agentic Browsing runLighthouse Agentic

Lighthouse Agentic Browsing audits ran.

infoWebsite platformplatform

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

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.

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

8 of 12 pages are missing <title> and/or <h1>: /sitemap/sitemap.gz, /sitemap/sitemap-2.gz, /sitemap/sitemap-3.gz, /sitemap/sitemap-4.gz, /sitemap/sitemap-5.gz, /sitemap/sitemap-6.gz, /help-faqs, /useful-tools/sage-author-service.

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

2 of 12 pages return <80 words of visible text — agents without JavaScript see an empty page: /help-faqs (12w), /useful-tools/sage-author-service (3w).

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

passDOM size is reasonableStructured data & HTML

Homepage contains ~437 elements.

passHeading hierarchy is intactStructured data & HTML

18 headings, no level skips.

pass<html lang> attributeStructured data & HTML

Language declared as "en".

passImages have alt textStructured data & HTML

8 of 8 <img> tags have alt attributes.

passImages have explicit dimensionsStructured data & HTML

8/8 images set width and height — no layout shift.

passInternal links on homepageStructured data & HTML

23 internal links found.

passSemantic landmark elementsStructured data & HTML

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

passSingle H1 on homepageStructured data & HTML

Exactly one <h1> on the homepage.

Operability

Can agents actually operate the page?

fail`[aria-*]` attributes do not match their rolesAccessibility

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.

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.

warnAccessibility tree is agent-navigableAccessibility

1 of 14 agent-critical accessibility audits failed (`[aria-*]` attributes do not match their roles) — 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).

warnTime to First BytePerformance

1.15s (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.

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

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

pass`[aria-hidden="true"]` elements do not contain focusable descendentsAccessibility

`[aria-hidden="true"]` elements do not contain focusable descendents passed.

passARIA input fields have accessible namesAccessibility

ARIA input fields have accessible names passed.

pass`[role]`s have all required `[aria-*]` attributesAccessibility

`[role]`s have all required `[aria-*]` attributes passed.

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

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

pass`[role]`s are contained by their required parent elementAccessibility

`[role]`s are contained by their required parent element passed.

pass`[role]` values are validAccessibility

`[role]` values are valid passed.

pass`[aria-*]` attributes are valid and not misspelledAccessibility

`[aria-*]` attributes are valid and not misspelled passed.

pass`[aria-*]` attributes have valid valuesAccessibility

`[aria-*]` attributes have valid values passed.

passButtons have an accessible nameAccessibility

Buttons have an accessible name passed.

passDocument has a `<title>` elementAccessibility

Document has a `<title>` element passed.

passARIA IDs are uniqueAccessibility

ARIA IDs are unique passed.

passLinks have a discernible nameAccessibility

Links have a discernible name passed.

passOverall accessibility scoreAccessibility

Lighthouse accessibility score: 96/100. 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

2 of 2 visible interactive form fields have labels.

passAccessibility tree is well-formedLighthouse Agentic

All audits passed

passCumulative Layout ShiftPerformance

0.000 (field data from CrUX) — good.

infoWebMCP form coverageLighthouse Agentic

3 forms missing annotations

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.

warnHTTP Strict-Transport-Security headerSecurity & trust

HSTS max-age=2592000 is below six months.

Fix: Raise max-age to at least 15768000 (six months). The HSTS preload list requires 31536000 (one year).

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.

warnNo tech-stack disclosure in headersSecurity & trust

server: Microsoft-IIS/10.0

Fix: Configure your web server / framework to suppress version strings. They give attackers a free shortlist of known CVEs to try.

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.

passContent-Security-Policy headerSecurity & trust

CSP header present.

passSite is served over HTTPSSecurity & trust

Homepage scheme is https:.

passhttp:// redirects to https://Security & trust

http://sagepub.com → https://www.sagepub.com/ (1 hop).

passHomepage shows no error outputSecurity & trust

No stack-trace markers in the first 5KB.

passNo mixed-content referencesSecurity & trust

Homepage HTML references no http:// resources.

passTLS certificate is not near expirySecurity & trust

Valid for 70 more days (Sep 29 23:59:59 2026 GMT, issuer: DigiCert Global G2 TLS RSA SHA256 2020 CA1).
