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.

Crawled 12 of 12 discovered pages beyond the homepage.

Understanding

Can agents understand your content?

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.

warnImages have explicit dimensionsStructured data & HTML

13/15 images have explicit width+height.

Fix: Add width and height to every <img>. Without them the browser doesn't know the aspect ratio and reflows the page on load (CLS).

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

12 of 12 pages are missing <title> and/or <h1>: /customer-service, /contact, /contact-us, /pricing, /plans, /about, /about-us, /services, /products, /blog, /news, /faq.

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

passDOM size is reasonableStructured data & HTML

Homepage contains ~831 elements.

passHeading hierarchy is intactStructured data & HTML

10 headings, no level skips.

pass<html lang> attributeStructured data & HTML

Language declared as "en-IE".

passImages have alt textStructured data & HTML

15 of 15 <img> tags have alt attributes.

passInternal links on homepageStructured data & HTML

33 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?

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.

warnOverall accessibility scoreAccessibility

Lighthouse accessibility score: 89/100. 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.

passAccessibility tree is agent-navigableAccessibility

All 7 agent-critical accessibility audits passed — an agent can perceive and operate the page through its accessibility tree.

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?

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 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.

warnHTTP Strict-Transport-Security headerSecurity & trust

HSTS max-age=15552000 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.

passSite is served over HTTPSSecurity & trust

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