  • Search results can show your pages' wordsCriticalPartial

    Robots.txt is not valid. 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 is not valid: https://uptownbroadwayboulder.com/

    What to do Let search results show your pages' words and fix the errors PageSpeed lists in robots.txt.

    For your web team: Remove nosnippet, max-snippet:0, noarchive and nocache from robots meta tags and X-Robots-Tag headers, and fix the lines of robots.txt that Lighthouse reports as invalid.

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

    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.

  • Search engines may list each pageCriticalPass

    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.

  • Your pages are listed in a sitemapImportantPass

    http://uptownbroadwayboulder.com/sitemap_index.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.

  • Every page has its own titleImportantPass

    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.

  • Pages that do not exist say soImportantPass

    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.

  • Lists and tables are built as lists and tablesImportantPartial

    Lists do not contain only <li> elements and script supporting elements (<script> and <template>). 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.

    • Fix all of the following: List element has direct children that are not allowed: br: <ul class="featured-floor-plans__item item is-active has-availability" data-id="882">: https://uptownbroadwayboulder.com/

    What to do Build price lists and schedules as real lists and tables.

    For your web team: Use ul, ol and dl with li, dt and dd children, and table markup with th header cells for tabular data, rather than line breaks and styled divs.

  • Your key facts are in the page itselfCriticalPass

    The page as your server sends it holds its text; scripts add 11 pieces of text. 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.

  • Your business is described in structured dataImportantPass

    The home page's structured data names WebPage, ReadAction, BreadcrumbList, ListItem, WebSite, SearchAction, EntryPoint, PropertyValueSpecification, Organization, ImageObject, ApartmentComplex, and PostalAddress. 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, GoogleReport an issue with this check

  • Images describe themselvesImportantPass

    Image elements have [alt] attributes 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.

  • Every page has its own summary for search resultsImportantPass

    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, GoogleReport an issue with this check

  • Pages say which language they are inImportantPass

    All 2 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.

  • A short guide to your site for AI assistantsImportantNot yet

    llms.txt does not follow recommendations llmstxt.org proposes the file so assistants find what they need and follow its links. Lighthouse calls it an emerging convention and Google Search does not use it, so it is a bonus.

    • llms.txt does not follow recommendations: https://uptownbroadwayboulder.com/

    What to do Publish /llms.txt with your business name as its title and links to your most important pages.

    For your web team: Serve a Markdown file at /llms.txt with a 200, and keep it out of the way of any rule that routes unknown paths to the home page or answers them with a firewall page. Start it with an H1 naming the site, then sections of Markdown links to key pages, as llmstxt.org describes.

  • Buttons and links are big enough to tapImportantPartial

    Touch targets do not have sufficient size or spacing. web.dev recommends tap targets of around 48 pixels, and WCAG sets a minimum of 24 by 24 pixels.

    • Fix any of the following: Target has insufficient size (405.6px by 12.8px, should be at least 24px by 24px) Target has insufficient space to its closest neighbors. Safe clickable space has a diameter of 14.4px instead of at least 24px.: <a target="_blank" href="https://cardinalgroup.com">: https://uptownbroadwayboulder.com/

    What to do Make small buttons and tightly packed links bigger on phones.

    For your web team: Make each target at least 24 by 24 CSS pixels, or leave enough space around smaller ones, and aim for around 48 pixels. Set width=device-width in the viewport tag so taps answer at once.
