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.

warnHomepage was retrievable for analysisCrawlability (Google)

Couldn't analyse the homepage: The server returned a bot-protection challenge page (matched "/_incapsula_resource") instead of your site. AI agents are likely served the same challenge.

Fix: Allow well-behaved crawlers (or our User-Agent) through your CDN/WAF bot-management rules and re-run — server-side fetchers and some AI crawlers are otherwise served a challenge instead of your content.

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.

warnHTML readiness checks ranStructured data & HTML

Couldn't analyse the homepage: The server returned a bot-protection challenge page (matched "/_incapsula_resource") instead of your site. AI agents are likely served the same challenge.

Fix: Your CDN/WAF served our scanner a bot-protection challenge instead of the page, so its content could not be analysed. Allow well-behaved crawlers (or our User-Agent) through your bot-management rules and re-run. AI agents that drive a real browser may still reach the page, but server-side fetchers (and some AI crawlers) will see the same challenge.

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

6 of 12 pages are missing <title> and/or <h1>: /es/sobre-nosotros/principales-datos, /es/sobre-nosotros/nuestro-modelo/openbank/nitin-prabhu, /es/sobre-nosotros/nuestro-modelo/retail-commercial-banking, /es/sobre-nosotros/nuestro-modelo/retail-commercial-banking/daniel-barriuso, /es/sobre-nosotros/nuestro-modelo/payment-solutions/matias-sanchez-garcia, /es/sobre-nosotros/nuestro-modelo/payment-solutions/juan-guitard.

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.

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?

failButtons do not have an accessible nameAccessibility

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.

failLinks do not have a discernible nameAccessibility

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.

failAccessibility tree is not well-formedLighthouse Agentic

A well-formed [accessibility tree](http://goo.gle/lighthouse-agentic-a11y) helps AI agents to navigate and interact with 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.

warnAccessibility tree is agent-navigableAccessibility

2 of 15 agent-critical accessibility audits failed (Buttons do not have an accessible name, Links do not have a discernible name) — 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).

warnOverall accessibility scoreAccessibility

Lighthouse accessibility score: 76/100. 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.

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 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.

warnTLS certificate is not near expirySecurity & trust

Certificate expires in 14 days (Aug 4 14:14:39 2026 GMT).

Fix: Renew within the week — automated renewal (Let's Encrypt + cron / certbot) avoids manual outages.
