  • Your instructions to AI agents and search engines have no errors (robots.txt)ImportantFail

    Google's crawler skips any line of robots.txt it cannot read, so a rule you meant to set never applies. A page you wanted found may be left out, or one you wanted kept out may be read.

    What we found: robots.txt is not valid

  • Your site's security doesn't turn AI agents away (firewall)CriticalPass

    Many sites sit behind a firewall or bot-protection service that blocks automated visits. An agent stopped at the door reads nothing, so it answers from other sites. Claude's web fetch, for example, gets only what your site sends back.

  • Your site lets AI agents in (robots.txt)CriticalPass

    AI services send crawlers, robots that read sites for them. One your robots.txt blocks cannot use your pages, so answers about your business come from other sites. OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity each say their crawlers obey robots.txt.

  • Search engines may show your pages in their resultsCriticalPass

    A page search engines may not list is missing from Google's and Bing's results, and from AI answers built on them, such as Google's AI Overviews. Brave's search, which some AI agents use, follows Google's rules.

  • Your site lists its pages for search engines (XML sitemap)ImportantPass

    Google and Bing use a sitemap to find your pages, though neither promises to list every page in it. A page must be in Google's index to appear in its AI answers.

  • Every page has a titleImportantPass

    Google builds the link to your page in its results from the page's title, and may rewrite one that is missing, vague or repeated. A clear title keeps your own words in front of searchers.

  • Your site says when a page does not exist (404)ImportantPass

    When a missing page says so, Google drops the address from search. When it answers like a normal page, Google flags a soft 404, and every mistyped address looks like a real page.

  • A page that can be reached at more than one address names its main one (canonical)ImportantPass

    Google shows only one address for a page. When you name it, the page's standing stays in one place and searchers land on the version you chose, in their language. When you don't, Google guesses.

  • Your pages open without unnecessary redirectsImportantPass

    Each extra redirect is another trip across the network that can delay the page by hundreds of milliseconds. Every visitor waits for every hop.

Read

Can agents quickly work out who you are and what you offer? An agent only spends so much effort on one site. If yours is hard to read, it moves on and recommends one that's easier.

  • Headings give each page a clear outlineImportantFail

    Clear headings show search engines and agents how a page is laid out, so they find the part that answers a question, such as your opening hours. Google's guide to its AI features recommends them.

    What we found: Heading elements are not in a sequentially-descending order

    • Fix any of the following: Heading order invalid: <h5 class="elementor-icon-box-title">
    • Fix any of the following: Heading order invalid: <h5 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">

  • Your site sends AI agents a plain-text version of each page (Markdown)ImportantNot measured

    Agents read Markdown faster and more accurately than a full web page, and it costs them fewer tokens, the units AI services count text in. Cloudflare calls Markdown the common language of agents.

    What we found: Could not check Markdown for Agents: The operation was aborted.

  • AI agents can read your text without running scriptsCriticalPass

    Many agents read only the page your server sends and run none of its scripts. If your text appears only after scripts run, those agents see an empty page and answer from other sites. Claude's web fetch is one of them.

  • Your site tells AI agents what your business is (structured data)ImportantPass

    Structured data saves agents and search engines from guessing your type of business and contact details from the page. Google says it gives explicit clues about what a page means. Bing says it may help and promises nothing.

  • AI agents can tell what your images show (alt text)ImportantPass

    Agents rely on an image's text description, called alt text, to know what it shows, the same description that lets people who cannot see the image use the page. Google calls alt text the most important attribute for describing an image.

  • Your lists and tables are built so agents can read themImportantPass

    Agents read a list or a table as one only when the page's code marks it as one. Otherwise your prices or opening hours reach them as loose lines. The same code lets people who use screen readers follow them, and WCAG requires it.

  • Every page has a summary for search resultsImportantPass

    Google may show your summary under the page's title in its results, and asks for a different one on every page. Without one, it picks a snippet from the page, which may be a line you would never choose.

  • Your pages say which language they are inImportantPass

    A declared language tells software how to read your page, from the voice a screen reader uses to the language a translation starts from. WCAG, the accessibility standard most laws point to, requires it.

Act

Can agents do what a customer asks, such as book, reserve, enquire or search? When someone asks an agent to act for them and your site doesn't let it, the agent acts on a site that does.

  • AI agents can complete tasks when they visit your site (WebMCP)ImportantFail

    Your site can tell agents what it lets a customer do, for example book a tour, reserve a table, ask a question, or search what's available. An agent can then do it for them, start to finish. Without that, the agent can only read your pages and send the customer to do it themselves, or do it on another site that lets it.

  • AI agents can see your site's buttons and fields (accessibility tree)CriticalPass

    Agents find what they can click or fill in through the accessibility tree, the browser's list of a page's controls. A control missing from it does not exist for an agent, so it cannot book, buy or send an enquiry. Screen readers use the same tree.

  • Hidden labels on your buttons and fields are accurate (ARIA)ImportantPass

    Agents trust these labels. A wrong one tells an agent a control is something it is not, such as a button marked as a heading, so it clicks the wrong thing or nothing. Screen readers trust them too, so people with disabilities are misled the same way.

  • AI agents can move around your pages without a mouseImportantPass

    Agents move through a page from control to control, as keyboard users do. A page that skips controls or refreshes on its own keeps them from the button they need. WCAG requires every function to work from a keyboard, which people with disabilities rely on.

  • Your text stands out clearly from its backgroundImportantPass

    Some agents look at a page as a picture, as people do, and pale text is easy for both to miss. The same contrast lets people with low vision read it. WCAG, the accessibility standard most laws point to, sets how much contrast text needs.

  • Buttons and links are big enough for an agent to clickImportantPass

    Agents that click where a button sits, as a person does, miss small or crowded targets, and so do people on phones and people with limited movement. Google's web.dev recommends targets of about 48 pixels, and WCAG sets a minimum of 24.

  • Your site tells AI agents about its other servicesImportantNot measured

    Each one tells agents about a service they can use, such as an API for checking stock. Few businesses that sell to the public need them yet, so they earn bonus points and never cost any.

    What we found: Could not check Link headers: The operation was aborted, Could not fetch API Catalog: The operation was aborted, Could not fetch Agent Skills index: The operation was aborted, and Could not fetch A2A Agent Card: The operation was aborted.

Performance

Does your site answer fast? Agents work against the clock, and so do people. A slow site costs them time, and they give that time to a faster one.

Speed comes from real visitors of your page over the last 28 days when Google has their numbers, and from a test on a phone when it does not.

  • Your site responds quickly to taps and clicksImportantPass

    A page that freezes after a tap feels broken, so visitors tap again or leave. Google rates a reaction under 200 milliseconds as good and counts it among its Core Web Vitals.

  • Your pages stay still while they loadImportantPass

    When content jumps as a page loads, visitors tap the wrong thing, such as a link that moved under their finger. Google counts layout shift among its three Core Web Vitals.

  • Your site loads over a secure connectionImportantPass

    A secure connection stops others reading or changing what passes between your site and its visitors. Browsers mark pages without one as not secure, and Google counts it in page experience.

  • Your server answers quicklyImportantPass

    Every visitor and agent waits for your server's first response before anything else can load. Chrome says a CDN, a network of servers close to your visitors, cuts that wait.

  • Return visits load fasterImportantPass

    Downloading every file again on each visit is slow and costly. When browsers keep the files, returning visitors see your page sooner.

  • Your site does not ask visitors for permissions as they arriveImportantPass

    People distrust or are confused by a page that asks for their location the moment it opens. A field that blocks pasting makes a form harder to fill in.
