Agent Card (A2A)

  • /.well-known/agent.json not found

    Create a /.well-known/agent.json file following the A2A (Agent-to-Agent) protocol. It should include name, description, url, and skills fields describing your site's capabilities.

OpenAPI Spec

  • /.well-known/openapi.json not found

    Create a /.well-known/openapi.json file with your API specification following the OpenAPI 3.x standard. See https://swagger.io/specification/ for the spec.

AI Well-Known

  • 0/5 emerging AI discovery files published

  • ai.txt not found

    Publish /.well-known/ai.txt declaring opt-in/opt-out signals for AI training. See https://site.spawning.ai/spawning-ai-txt for the format.

  • genai.txt not found

    Publish /.well-known/genai.txt declaring your generative-AI usage policy.

  • ai-plugin.json not found

    Publish /ai-plugin.json (legacy ChatGPT plugin manifest). Schema: name_for_model, description_for_model, api.url. Still consumed by some agents.

  • agents.json not found

    Publish /agents.json describing your site as a callable agent (OpenAgents / Wildcard emerging spec). Includes name, description, and operations[].

  • nlweb.json not found

    Publish /.well-known/nlweb.json (Microsoft NLWeb) so agents can interact with the site through a natural-language interface.

Content NegotiationInformational

  • 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 ~80% vs 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.

RSL LicenseInformational

  • No RSL license discovery found

    Declare machine-readable licensing terms for your content with Really Simple Licensing. Add to robots.txt: License: https://your-site.com/license.xml — then publish the RSL document. See https://rslstandard.org.

Structured Data

  • 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.

Meta Tags

  • 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 agent.json in HTML

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

  • OpenGraph required tags present (og:title, og:description, og:url, og:type)

  • Twitter Card required tags present (twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description)

Robots.txt

  • /robots.txt exists

  • No core AI crawlers explicitly configured

    Add User-agent entries for core AI crawlers in your robots.txt. For each crawler, add: User-agent: <name> followed by Allow: / on the next line.

  • 1 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.

  • 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. Generate yours at contentsignals.org.

  • 1/48 known AI crawlers have explicit rules

    Add explicit User-agent entries for more AI crawlers to maximize discoverability.

HTTP Headers

  • Missing critical header: X-Content-Type-Options

    Add the X-Content-Type-Options response header to your server configuration. This is a critical security header.

  • Only 3/7 security headers present

    Add security headers like Strict-Transport-Security, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to your server response.

  • No Link header for AI discovery (llms.txt, agent.json)

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

Crawl EfficiencyInformational

  • Response compressed with gzip

  • No ETag or Last-Modified header — conditional requests unsupported

    Send an ETag or Last-Modified header so crawlers can revalidate with If-None-Match / If-Modified-Since and receive a cheap 304 Not Modified instead of the full body.

  • Homepage size is reasonable (235.4 KB decompressed)

MCP (Model Context Protocol)

  • /.well-known/mcp.json exists

  • Valid JSON

  • Server name: "Notion"

  • Server description present

  • CORS enabled on MCP endpoint

LLMs.txt

  • /llms.txt exists

  • /llms.txt Content-Type OK (text/plain)

HTML Rendering

  • Server-rendered content detected (404 words, 2588 chars of visible text)

  • Low text-to-markup ratio (1.1%)

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