  • 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.

  • Headings give each page a clear outlineImportantPass

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Your text stands out clearly from its backgroundImportantPartial

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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 yet

    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: Your home page sends no Link headers that point agents to these files. Your site has no API catalog. Your site has no Agent Skills index. Your site has no A2A agent card.

  • 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.

    An error in the browser often means part of your page is broken, such as a form that will not send. Chrome says each one is a problem to resolve.

  • 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.
