Y a-t-il de la substance qu'un agent puisse lire ?

  • Homepage does not serve Markdown via content negotiation

    Serve a Markdown representation of your pages when agents request "Accept: text/markdown". Agents like Claude Code and Cursor ask for it, and Markdown cuts token usage by roughly 80% against HTML. Cloudflare ("Markdown for Agents") and Vercel can enable this without code changes.

  • No <link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown"> fallback found on the homepage

    If you cannot enable content negotiation, advertise a Markdown version with <link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown" href="/index.md"> so agents can discover it.

  • No JSON-LD structured data found

    Add a <script type="application/ld+json"> block in your HTML <head> with schema.org structured data describing your site, organization, or person.

  • Server-rendered content detected (3360 words, 20412 chars of visible text)

  • Low text-to-markup ratio (1.4%)

    A very low text-to-markup ratio is a typical SPA-shell symptom. Inline more content directly into the HTML response.

  • Semantic landmarks present (main, section, header, footer, nav)

  • No <h1> heading found

    Add a single <h1> describing the page. Agents and search engines treat the H1 as the primary topic indicator.

  • 121/122 <img> tags have alt attributes

  • 398/398 interactive elements have an accessible name

  • 9/9 form controls are labelled

  • 121/122 images, frames or videos have no declared dimensions

    Undeclared dimensions shift the layout as media loads. An agent working from a screenshot clicks where the button was a moment ago. Set width and height, or aspect-ratio.

  • Method note: this reads markup, not a rendered accessibility tree

  • <title> length 48 chars: "Latest news, sport and opinion from the Guardian"

  • Meta description length 128 chars

  • Canonical URL: https://www.theguardian.com

  • <html lang="en">

  • UTF-8 charset declared

  • Viewport meta present: "width=device-width,minimum-scale=1,initial-scale=1"

Accès

87/100

Un agent peut-il seulement la récupérer ?

  • Homepage is indexable

  • noarchive excludes this page from Microsoft Copilot grounding

    Microsoft documents that noarchive means a page is not included in Copilot answers and not linked from them. nocache is the lighter option: Copilot may use the URL, title and snippet but not the body.

  • A missing page redirects (301) instead of returning 404

    A redirect on a nonexistent path hides the error. Return 404 or 410 so a client can tell the difference.

  • Homepage takes 2 redirects to answer

    Every hop is a round trip the agent pays for, and some clients cap redirects well below a browser. Collapse the chain: point the first URL straight at the final one.

  • HEAD requests are supported

  • Content-Type: text/html with charset

  • Response compressed with gzip

  • Cache validator present (ETag)

  • Conditional request returns 304 Not Modified

  • Homepage is on the large side (1.4 MB decompressed)

    Consider trimming inlined payloads to reduce crawl cost.

  • Roughly 5,103 tokens of content in 355,187 tokens of response (99% markup)

    An agent pays to receive the markup and then discards it. Serving Markdown on Accept negotiation is the direct fix.

  • Homepage responded in 63ms

  • Site is served over HTTPS

  • HTTP requests redirect to HTTPS

  • HSTS max-age=63072000

  • HSTS includes subdomains

  • HSTS preload-eligible

  • ClaudeBot blocked at the server — consistent with its robots.txt Disallow

  • Meta-ExternalAgent blocked at the server — consistent with its robots.txt Disallow

  • Amazonbot blocked at the server — consistent with its robots.txt Disallow

  • Bytespider blocked at the server — consistent with its robots.txt Disallow

  • CCBot blocked at the server — consistent with its robots.txt Disallow

  • Claude-SearchBot blocked at the server — consistent with its robots.txt Disallow

  • PerplexityBot blocked at the server — consistent with its robots.txt Disallow

Découverte

44/100

Un agent trouve-t-il ce que vous publiez ?

  • /llms.txt not found

    Create a /llms.txt file at your site root following the llmstxt.org specification. It should be a Markdown file starting with "# Your Site Name" and include a description, sections, and links.

  • No AI meta tags (ai:*) found

    Add AI meta tags to your HTML <head>: <meta name="ai:summary" content="Brief description">, <meta name="ai:content_type" content="website">, <meta name="ai:author" content="Your Name">.

  • No rel="alternate" link to llms.txt in HTML

    Add to your <head>: <link rel="alternate" type="text/plain" href="/llms.txt" title="LLM-optimized content">

  • No rel="alternate" link to the Agent Card in HTML

    Add to your <head>: <link rel="alternate" type="application/json" href="/.well-known/agent-card.json" title="Agent Card">

  • No rel="me" identity links found

    Add rel="me" links to verify your identity across platforms: <link rel="me" href="https://github.com/yourname">, <link rel="me" href="https://twitter.com/yourname">.

  • No OpenGraph meta tags found

    Add at minimum og:title, og:description, og:url, og:type, and og:image. Agents and link previews depend on these.

  • Twitter Card required tags missing: twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description

    Add these meta tags: <meta name="twitter:card" content="...">, <meta name="twitter:title" content="...">, <meta name="twitter:description" content="...">.

  • /robots.txt exists

  • 8/12 core AI crawlers configured

    Add explicit User-agent entries for the missing crawlers with Allow: / for each one.

  • 17 AI crawler(s) explicitly blocked

    These crawlers have "Disallow: /" rules. If you want AI agents to access your site, change to "Allow: /" for each blocked crawler.

  • 6 assistant search crawler(s) blocked — your site cannot be cited by those assistants

    Search crawlers build the index an assistant cites from; they are separate from the training crawlers. If the intent was to opt out of training only, allow these and block the training tokens instead.

  • 10 training crawler(s) blocked — recorded as a deliberate policy choice

  • 3 robots.txt rule(s) target a retired or non-existent crawler token

    These rules have no effect. Remove them so the file reflects your actual policy.

  • Sitemap directive present

  • No Content-Signal directive found (optional)

    Declare how crawlers may use your content after access with the Content Signals Policy, e.g.: Content-Signal: search=yes, ai-train=no. Known signals: search, ai-input, ai-train, plus the optional use=immediate|reference|full. Generate yours at contentsignals.org.

  • 17/57 known AI crawlers have explicit rules

  • All 7 security headers present

  • Link header present but does not reference AI discovery files

    Add AI discovery entries to your Link header: Link: </llms.txt>; rel="alternate"; type="text/plain", </.well-known/agent-card.json>; rel="alternate"; type="application/json"

  • No machine-readable discovery relations beyond llms.txt and the Agent Card

    Advertise what you publish with Link relations so agents stop guessing paths. Add the ones that apply, for example: Link: </llms.txt>; rel="describedby", </.well-known/api-catalog>; rel="api-catalog". Informational in 3.x: this does not affect your score.

  • Sitemap located: http://www.theguardian.com/sitemaps/news.xml

  • Content-Type is XML (text/xml)

  • 508 URL(s) declared

  • 100% of URLs have <lastmod>

  • Newest <lastmod> is recent (0 day(s) ago)

Protocoles

0/100

Qu'un agent peut-il appeler ?

  • /.well-known/agent-card.json not found

    This site offers something an agent could call, but nothing tells an agent what. Publish an A2A Agent Card at /.well-known/agent-card.json. A minimal 1.0 card needs name, description, version, capabilities, supportedInterfaces, defaultInputModes, defaultOutputModes and skills. Spec: https://a2a-protocol.org/latest/specification/

  • API surface present but no machine-readable description found

    The API exists; nothing describes it in a form an agent can read, so using it requires a human to read your documentation first. Serve an OpenAPI description at /openapi.json and advertise it with Link: </openapi.json>; rel="service-desc". For several APIs, publish an RFC 9727 catalog.

  • No agent resource catalog found

    A catalog is one document listing everything an agent can call here — agent cards, MCP servers, APIs, skills — so a client stops probing four conventions to find out. Worth publishing once you have more than one of those. Informational: both ai-catalog.json and ard.json are still drafts, so this never affects your score.

  • 2 form(s) on the page, none declared as agent tools

    A declared form is called by an agent rather than driven pixel by pixel. Add toolname and tooldescription to the forms worth automating — search, filter, subscribe — and toolparamdescription to each field.

  • No MCP server — MCP discovery does not apply to this site

  • No developer-facing surface — skills do not apply to this site

  • No commerce surface — agentic-commerce discovery does not apply to this site

  • Nothing on this site requires authorization — auth discovery does not apply

Politique

99/100

Quels droits d'usage sont déclarés ?

  • RSL license discovered via robots.txt License directive (1 reference(s))

  • RSL license document Content-Type is "application/xml"

    Configure your server to serve RSL license document as application/rsl+xml so AI agents parse it correctly.

  • Root <rsl> element with correct namespace

  • 1 <content> element(s), all with url attribute

  • License terms declared — permits[usage]: ai-train ai-input; prohibits[usage]: all

  • /.well-known/security.txt exists

  • Required field "Contact" present

  • Required field "Expires" present

  • Expires date is in the future (2027-05-31)

  • 2/5 optional fields present

  • 1 usage declaration(s) found

  • Consistent across 1 declaration(s): training on your content is denied

  • Consistent across 1 declaration(s): grounding an answer in your content is denied

  • Consistent across 1 declaration(s): indexing your content for search is denied

  • Enforcement note: only robots.txt access rules are documented as honored by major AI operators
