Does your site let search engines and assistants read and list your pages?

  • Search engines and AI assistants are allowed to read your sitePass

    Every AI search crawler and agent we grade is allowed. Training crawlers are allowed. A crawler is a robot that reads sites for a search engine or assistant, and one that is blocked cannot recommend you. Bing lists blocking Bingbot among the things to avoid, because content it cannot crawl may not be indexed or used in Copilot's answers.

    Overview of OpenAI crawlers, OpenAI
  • Search engines may list each pagePass

    Page isn’t blocked from indexing Google leaves out a page marked noindex, and a page its crawler cannot read cannot be listed or used as a supporting link in its AI features.

    AI features and your website, Google
  • Search results can show your pages' wordsPass

    All 2 audits in this goal pass. A page whose text is kept out of results leaves a search engine or assistant nothing to quote. Google's AI features follow nosnippet and max-snippet, and Bing keeps content marked noarchive out of Copilot and limits nocache pages to their address, title and snippet.

    Robots.txt Introduction and Guide, Google
  • Your pages are listed in a sitemapPass

    https://rise120apartments.com/sitemap.xml is a sitemap. Google and Bing use an XML sitemap named in robots.txt to find your pages, and neither promises to index every page in it. A page must be indexed to appear in Google's AI answers.

    Build and submit a sitemap, Google
  • Pages that do not exist say soPass

    A page that does not exist answers 404. Google treats content behind a 404 or 410 as gone, and flags empty pages that answer 200 (success) as soft 404s.

  • Every page has its own titlePass

    Document has a <title> element Google builds the title link in search results from the page's title, and may change one that is missing, vague, boilerplate or repeated. A title keeps your wording in front of searchers.

    Influencing Title Links in Google Search, Google
  • Each page has one clear addressPass

    All 2 audits in this goal pass. Google uses one canonical address per page, and uses hreflang to send searchers to the version of the page in their language.

    How to Specify a Canonical with rel="canonical" and Other Methods, Google
  • Pages open without detoursPass

    All 2 audits in this goal pass. Chrome says each extra redirect is another trip across the network that can delay the page by hundreds of milliseconds.

  • Your key facts are in the page itselfMust haveFail

    The first page your server sends is a loading page, “One moment, please... Loader Please wait while your request ”, and the page it moves on to holds the content. An assistant that runs no script reads only that page. Claude's web fetch tool does not support pages that fill in their text with JavaScript, and Google reads such a page only after its first HTML, once it reaches the rendering queue. A page whose first response is empty waits or looks empty.

    A must have. While it fails, your letter stays at C or lower.

    • Only on the page the loading page moves on to: https://rise120apartments.com/
    • Only on the page the loading page moves on to: https://rise120apartments.com/

    What to do Ask whoever runs your site to make the home page send its text from the server, so it shows up with scripts turned off.

    For your web team: Render the page's content on the server or at build time, and use scripts to add to it. Fetch the page without a browser to check the text is in it.

  • Your business is described in structured dataPass

    The home page's structured data names ApartmentComplex, LocalBusiness, PostalAddress, GeoCoordinates, Place, FloorPlan, QuantitativeValue, PriceSpecification, LocationFeatureSpecification, OpeningHoursSpecification, ReserveAction, EntryPoint, CommunicateAction, FindAction, PropertyValue, WebPage, VideoObject, and Action. Structured data spares an assistant from guessing what a page means. Google says it gives explicit clues about a page; Bing says it may support clearer grounding and promises nothing.

    Intro to structured data, Google
  • Every page has its own summary for search resultsPass

    Document has a meta description Google can show a page's meta description as its snippet and asks for a different one on every page. It is less likely to show a list of keywords, so a specific summary has the best chance of being used.

    How to Write Meta Descriptions, Google
  • Headings give each page an outlinePass

    Heading elements appear in a sequentially-descending order Google's guide to AI features says headings give a page a clear structure.

  • Images describe themselvesPass

    All 2 audits in this goal pass. Alt text is a short written description of an image. Google calls it the most important attribute for adding metadata about an image, and it also uses computer vision on the picture.

    Image SEO Best Practices, Google
  • Pages say which language they are inPass

    All 3 audits in this goal pass. WCAG requires the language of each page to be set in its code, so software reads it with the right rules and voice.

    Rule html-has-lang: <html> element must have a lang attribute, Deque axe
  • Lists and tables are built as lists and tablesPass

    All 2 audits in this goal pass. WCAG, the web accessibility standard most laws point to, requires the structure a page shows on screen to be in its markup as well, and the axe rules check lists and tables for it.

    Rule list: <ul> and <ol> must only directly contain <li>, <script> or <template> elements, Deque axe

  • Your site offers tools to AI assistantsMust haveFail

    Your home page offers no tools to AI assistants. WebMCP lets an assistant book or reserve through a site's own code instead of guessing its way around the screen.

    A must have. While it fails, your letter stays at B or lower.

    • PageSpeed's "WebMCP tools registered" audit lists no tool: https://rise120apartments.com/

    What to do Ask whoever runs your site to expose the main action on your site, such as booking or contacting you, as a WebMCP tool.

    For your web team: Call document.modelContext.registerTool({ name, description, inputSchema, execute }) as the home page loads, or add toolname and tooldescription attributes to the form. A name is 1 to 128 letters, digits, _, - or .

    WebMCP for developers, Chrome
  • Extra labels on controls are used correctlyPass

    All 10 audits in this goal pass. Wrong ARIA tells an assistant a control is something it is not. WAI-ARIA defines the roles and attributes that are valid, and the axe rules check them.

    Rule aria-roles: ARIA roles used must conform to valid values, Deque axe
  • Text is readablePass

    All 3 audits in this goal pass. WCAG requires text to contrast with its background by at least 4.5 to 1, and the axe rule color-contrast checks for it.

    Rule color-contrast: Elements must meet minimum color contrast ratio thresholds, Deque axe
  • Buttons and links are big enough to tapPass

    All 2 audits in this goal pass. web.dev recommends tap targets of around 48 pixels, and WCAG sets a minimum of 24 by 24 pixels.

    Accessible tap targets, Google
  • Visitors can move around the pagePass

    All 3 audits in this goal pass. WCAG, the web accessibility standard most laws point to, requires every function of a page to work from a keyboard.

    Accessibility for agents, Chrome
  • Assistants can read your page's controlsPass

    Accessibility tree is well-formed (All audits passed) Chrome says agents review the accessibility tree to find what they can click or fill in, and missing labels can block them.

  • The page does not jump around while it loadsFail

    Cumulative Layout Shift is 0.50 for real visitors of this page, last 28 days, which Google rates poor. CLS measures how much the page jumps while it loads, which makes people tap the wrong thing. web.dev names it one of three Core Web Vitals, and 0.1 or less is good.

    • Cumulative Layout Shift is 0.50 for real visitors of this page, last 28 days, which Google rates poor.: https://rise120apartments.com/

    What to do Ask the people who run your site to stop content from moving as images and fonts load.

    For your web team: Set width and height on images and embeds, reserve space for late content, and use font-display with a matching fallback font.

  • The main content shows up quicklyPartial

    1 of the 3 audits in this goal falls short: Speed Index (4.3 s). Measured from real visitors of this page, last 28 days; the rest is a lab test on a phone. LCP is how long the main picture or text takes to appear, and visitors leave slow pages. web.dev says 2.5 seconds or less is good, one of Google's three Core Web Vitals.

    What to do Ask the people who run your site to make the first screen load faster on phones, starting with its biggest image.

    For your web team: Serve the largest element early: preload it, avoid render-blocking scripts and styles, and cut server response time. PageSpeed lists what holds it back.

    Web Vitals, Google
  • Images are the right sizePartial

    2 of the 4 audits in this goal fall short: Improve image delivery (Est savings of 246 KiB) and Image elements do not have explicit width and height. Chrome says serving images larger than the version rendered on screen results in wasted bytes and slows page load.

    • Improve image delivery (Est savings of 246 KiB): <img class="jds-w-100 jds-d-block" src="https://rise120apartments.com/assets/images/cache/this-983f155d83c0364f97e…" alt="lounge with a pool table">: https://rise120apartments.com/assets/images/cache/this-983f155d83c0364f97e4f02dae2a0d57.jpg

    What to do Ask the people who run your site to resize and compress your images before they go on the page.

    For your web team: Serve several sizes with srcset and sizes, use a modern format such as WebP or AVIF, and keep each image's width and height in the proportion it is shown.

    Properly size images, Chrome
  • The page does not weigh muchPartial

    1 of the 8 audits in this goal falls short: Avoid enormous network payloads (Total size was 11,285 KiB). Chrome says large network payloads are highly correlated with long load times and cost visitors money on mobile data.

    • Avoid enormous network payloads (Total size was 11,285 KiB), from mux.com: https://stream.mux.com/qmowVz4sGmtwJwOswDU301GREC8C007mtydmHikBKJoS4/720p.mp4

    What to do Ask the people who run your site to remove code and files the page does not use.

    For your web team: Minify scripts and styles, remove unused and duplicate code, and stop shipping legacy polyfills. PageSpeed lists the files by size.

  • The page responds as soon as it appearsPass

    Interaction to Next Paint is 76 ms for real visitors of this page, last 28 days, which Google rates good. INP is the wait between a tap and the page responding, and under 200 milliseconds is good. Total Blocking Time, the lab test's stand-in, has the same bar.
