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 2 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?

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 alt textStructured data & HTML

20 of 21 images have alt attributes (95%).

Fix: Add alt text to the remaining images. Empty alt="" is fine for purely-decorative graphics.

warnImages have explicit dimensionsStructured data & HTML

Only 13/21 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

2 of 2 pages are missing <title> and/or <h1>: /faq, /contact.

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

passDOM size is reasonableStructured data & HTML

Homepage contains ~1155 elements.

passHeading hierarchy is intactStructured data & HTML

16 headings, no level skips.

pass<html lang> attributeStructured data & HTML

Language declared as "nl-NL".

passInternal links on homepageStructured data & HTML

51 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 2 pages return ≥80 words of visible text without JavaScript.

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.

warnForms use autocomplete attributesStructured data & HTML

No autocomplete attributes on any data-collecting form field.

Fix: Add autocomplete hints (email, tel, name, etc.) so form-filling agents and browsers can populate fields without guessing.

warnForm errors are accessibleStructured data & HTML

0/1 data-collecting forms expose errors via ARIA attributes.

Fix: Wire inputs to their error containers with `aria-describedby` and toggle `aria-invalid` on validation failure. Agents that can't see styled error text rely on these attributes.

warnForms mark required fieldsStructured data & HTML

0/1 data-collecting forms mark required fields.

Fix: Add the `required` attribute (or `aria-required="true"`) to mandatory inputs. Form-filling agents skip optional fields by default — without markers they over-fill.

warnForm fields publish validation hintsStructured data & HTML

No HTML5 validation hints (pattern / minlength / maxlength / min / max) on any data-collecting form input.

Fix: Publish input constraints via HTML attributes so agents and browsers can validate client-side.

warnTime to First BytePerformance

802ms (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.

passAccessibility tree is agent-navigableAccessibility

All 3 agent-critical accessibility audits passed — an agent can perceive and operate the page through its accessibility tree.

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

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

passDocument has a `<title>` elementAccessibility

Document has a `<title>` element 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

12 of 12 visible interactive form fields have labels.

passCumulative Layout ShiftPerformance

0.000 (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=157680000) but missing includeSubDomains.

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

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: rendering-engine/gender-split-stackset/main-5542

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.

passCDN detectedSecurity & trust

x-akamai-transformed: 0 - 0 - (Akamai)

passContent-Security-Policy headerSecurity & trust

CSP header present.

passSite is served over HTTPSSecurity & trust

passHomepage shows no error outputSecurity & trust

No stack-trace markers in the first 5KB.

passNo mixed-content referencesSecurity & trust
