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 11 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?

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.

warnImages have explicit dimensionsStructured data & HTML

Only 0/57 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.

warnSemantic landmark elementsStructured data & HTML

Missing landmark elements: header, footer, nav.

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

10 of 11 pages are missing <title> and/or <h1>: /tv-streaming-service-comparison, /tv-streaming-service-comparison/sling-vs-youtube-tv, /tv-streaming-service-comparison/sling-vs-hulu-live, /tv-streaming-service-comparison/sling-vs-directv-stream, /about, /antenna, /arcade, /channels, /deals, /deals/gift-card.

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 1892 words of visible text — content is reachable without executing JavaScript.

passDOM size is reasonableStructured data & HTML

Homepage contains ~720 elements.

passHeading hierarchy is intactStructured data & HTML

1 headings, no level skips.

pass<html lang> attributeStructured data & HTML

Language declared as "en-US".

passImages have alt textStructured data & HTML

57 of 57 <img> tags have alt attributes.

passInternal links on homepageStructured data & HTML

12 internal links found.

passSingle H1 on homepageStructured data & HTML

Exactly one <h1> on the homepage.

passKey pages are server-renderedKey pages crawl

All 11 pages return ≥80 words of visible text without JavaScript.

Operability

Can agents actually operate the page?

failCumulative Layout ShiftPerformance

0.540 (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.

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.

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

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

pass`<frame>` or `<iframe>` elements have a titleAccessibility

`<frame>` or `<iframe>` elements have a title passed.

passLinks have a discernible nameAccessibility

Links have a discernible name passed.

passOverall accessibility scoreAccessibility

Lighthouse accessibility score: 100/100. 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

595ms (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?

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.

warnHTTP Strict-Transport-Security headerSecurity & trust

HSTS configured (max-age=31536000) but missing includeSubDomains.

Fix: Add `includeSubDomains` so subdomains inherit the policy.
