All Findings

robots.txt allows all major AI crawlers

Page returns HTTP 200

Page content available without JavaScript

CAPTCHA or bot protection detected
Consider allowing AI crawlers to bypass bot protection. Options:
1. Whitelist known AI crawler IPs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google publish their ranges)
2. Use robots.txt to signal crawler access
3. Configure your WAF/CDN to exempt verified bot traffic

No JSON-LD structured data found
Add JSON-LD structured data to your page <head>:

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "Your Business",
  "url": "https://yoursite.com",
  "description": "What your business does"
}
</script>

OpenGraph tags complete (title, description, image)

Missing meta tags: canonical link

No llms.txt file found — AI agents cannot discover your services
Create a /llms.txt file at your site root:

# Your Business Name

> Brief description of your business.

## Services
- [Service 1](/service-1): Description
- [Service 2](/service-2): Description

See https://llmstxt.org for the full spec.

No MCP server or AI agent endpoint detected — agents cannot interact with your business
Set up a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI agents can interact with your business directly. This allows agents to book appointments, check availability, and more.

With Dashform, you can add MCP support to your website in minutes — no coding required.

Alternatively, create /.well-known/ai-plugin.json for ChatGPT plugin compatibility.

sitemap.xml found and valid

RSS/Atom feed detected

No Schema.org potentialAction — agents can't tell what they can do on your site
Add a potentialAction to your Schema.org JSON-LD so agents can act, e.g.:
"potentialAction": {
  "@type": "ReserveAction",
  "target": "https://yoursite.com/book"
}

No scheduling link found — agents can't book time with you directly

No form or direct contact path — agents have no way to convert here
Add an agent-usable conversion path — a contact form, a booking widget, or a Dashform AI funnel agents can complete on the visitor's behalf.

CTA buttons have descriptive labels

Missing semantic HTML: <main>, <h1>
Add missing semantic HTML elements: <main>, <h1>

100% of images have alt text (85/85)

Sufficient text content available for AI extraction

Heading levels skip (e.g., h1 directly to h3)

5 social media links found

No Schema.org sameAs links — AI agents cannot verify your identity across platforms
Add sameAs to your Schema.org JSON-LD:
"sameAs": [
  "https://twitter.com/yourbrand",
  "https://linkedin.com/company/yourbrand"
]

No Google Maps or Business Profile presence detected — AI agents may not verify your location
Claim your Google Business Profile at https://business.google.com and embed a Google Maps link or iframe on your page. AI agents use Google Maps data to verify business locations.

Limited contact information — add phone, email, and address

Fast response time (1330ms)

Lean HTML payload (291KB)

Response is compressed (gzip)

Caching headers present (Cache-Control/ETag/Last-Modified)

Entry URL redirects before serving — adds latency for agents

No author/publisher in schema — weak authorship signal
Add author and publisher to your Schema.org JSON-LD to establish credibility:
"publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Your Brand" }

No review/rating schema — agents can't surface your reputation

Partial security headers (HSTS only)

No dateModified/datePublished in schema — agents can't judge freshness
Add dateModified/datePublished to your Schema.org JSON-LD so agents can judge freshness:
"dateModified": "2026-01-15"

Sitemap shows content updated within the last 6 months

Footer/copyright year is current

HTTPS enabled

SSL certificate valid

Privacy policy link found

No terms of service link detected
