  • Your AI tools are listed in an AI catalogImportantFail

    Your site does not publish an ARD catalog at /.well-known/ard.json. The Agentic Resource Discovery (ARD) draft is a format that helps assistants discover what a site offers, such as tools and agents. Lighthouse audits the catalog, and the grade counts a standard that is likely to be adopted.

    • Lighthouse found no ARD catalog at /.well-known/ard.json: https://silvertech.com/

    What to do Publish an ARD catalog once your site has an MCP server or agent to list.

    For your web team: Serve a JSON file at /.well-known/ard.json with an entries list that follows the ARD schema: each entry carries a urn:air: identifier, a displayName, a type and a url. An MCP server's entry has the type application/mcp-server-card+json and points at its server card, at /mcp/server-card. Name the catalog from every page with <link rel="ard" href="/.well-known/ard.json">. Lighthouse reads that path and warns about a catalog it finds only at the older /.well-known/ai-catalog.json.

    What to do Decide whether your content may be used for search, AI answers and AI training, and ask the people who run your site to say so in robots.txt.

    • Document does not have a meta description: https://silvertech.com/

    What to do Write a one or two sentence summary of every page, different on each.

    For your web team: Add <meta name="description" content="..."> to the head of every page. Write a sentence or two that are unique to that page.
