Per-check breakdown

Discoverability
3 pass · 0 fail100
robots-txt-existsWeight 7

robots.txt served with 1 User-agent directive

robots.txt is the first file crawlers and agents check for access rules; silence defaults to blanket-allow. Per RFC 9309.

sitemap-existsWeight 4

Sitemap served at https://openstatus.dev/sitemap.xml (<urlset> root)

An XML sitemap is the route map agents use to find your pages. Without one they link-walk and miss deep or orphaned content.

link-headersInformational

Homepage serves a Link: header with agent-useful rel types (7 links with rel values: api-catalog, agent-skills, service-doc, service-desc, describedby, terms-of-service)

Link: response headers expose related resources — API catalogs, service docs, alternates — before an agent parses HTML. Per RFC 8288.

Access Control
3 pass · 0 fail · 1 informational100
ai-bot-rulesWeight 7

Content-Signal directive expresses aggregate AI-bot policy

Per-bot robots.txt rules (GPTBot, ClaudeBot) or Content-Signal directives declare who may train on or cite your content. Missing rules allow all.

content-signalsInformational

AIPREF directives present — Content-Signal (legacy, 1 directive: ai-input, ai-train, search)

Content-Signal (Cloudflare) or AIPREF Content-Usage directives declare what AI systems may do post-fetch — train, search-index, or generate answers.

web-bot-authInformational

No Web Bot Auth directory published at /.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory

If you operate an AI crawler, a signing-key directory lets targets verify it's you. Most sites don't publish — presence-only check. IETF draft.

robots-allow-allInformational

robots.txt declares wildcard User-agent with explicit Allow: / and no cross-bot blanket blocks

A blanket-allow posture (wildcard User-agent, Allow: /, no cross-bot blocks) declares that every crawler is welcome. Informational — no pass/fail.

Content Readability
4 pass · 0 fail · 2 informational100
llms-txt-existsInformational

llms.txt discovered at https://openstatus.dev/llms.txt

An llms.txt file gives agents a curated entry point into your docs — sitemap-equivalent, but sized for context windows. Per llmstxt.org.

llms-txt-validInformational

llms.txt matches llmstxt.org structure

A well-formed llms.txt (H1 title, summary blockquote, linked sections) parses cleanly; a malformed one is skipped silently — worse than no file. Per llmstxt.org.

llms-txt-sizeInformational

llms.txt size 3684 bytes (≤ 50000)

llms.txt must fit in an agent's context window alongside the user's question. Under 50K is comfortable; over 100K gets truncated mid-section.

llms-txt-has-optional-sectionInformational

llms.txt has 6 H2 sections and 16 markdown links, no Optional section

Reports the shape of your llms.txt — Optional section, H2 count, link count — so you can tell at a glance whether agents get a skeleton or a full map.

markdown-url-supportWeight 8

No sitemap URLs available to sample — cannot evaluate markdown support

A .md twin alongside each HTML page (page.md ↔ page.html) gives agents an agent-readable fetch path — no HTML, ad wrappers, or modals.

markdown-negotiationWeight 5

Server honored Accept: text/markdown

Accept: text/markdown negotiation serves HTML to humans and agent-readable markdown to agents from one URL — no duplicate-URL strategy.

rendering-strategyWeight 10

Server-side rendering confirmed

Classifies the site as server-rendered, hydrated, or client-rendered (SPA) — what agents see without running JavaScript. A pure SPA reads as blank.

page-size-htmlWeight 6

No sitemap URLs available to sample — cannot evaluate page size

Measures how much markdown each page feeds into an agent's context window. Under 50K fits cleanly; over 100K truncates mid-page — pages have context budgets too.

http-status-codesWeight 6

Correct HTTP 404 returned for non-existent path

Soft-404s (HTTP 200 on a missing page) make agents cache garbage as canonical content. An honest 4xx tells agents the URL is dead — drop it.

redirect-behaviorWeight 4

No sitemap URLs available to sample — cannot evaluate redirect behavior

Same-domain HTTP 3xx redirects work for agents. JavaScript redirects break agents without JS; cross-domain jumps read as tracking.

agents-md-detectionInformational

AGENTS.md not found at /AGENTS.md — HTTP 404 response

AGENTS.md is a coding-agent convention. ETH Zurich research (2026) found it often hurts those agents; we track presence to test the effect on websites. Informational.

cache-header-hygieneInformational

Homepage response carries 2 of Cache-Control / ETag / Last-Modified: cache-control, etag

Cache-Control, ETag, and Last-Modified headers let agents re-fetch only what changed — missing headers force full re-downloads. Informational.

Agent Endpoints
2 pass · 1 fail · 1 informational59
api-catalogInformational

api-catalog published at /.well-known/api-catalog with 2 linkset entries

A /.well-known/api-catalog (RFC 9727) points agents at your OpenAPI specs and developer docs in one fetch — the discovery surface for programmatic integration.

oauth-discoveryWeight 6

no OAuth surface detected — scan inconclusive

OAuth discovery metadata at /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server lets agents locate your auth endpoints without reading docs. Per RFC 8414.

oauth-protected-resourceWeight 7

No OAuth Protected Resource metadata at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource

Protected Resource metadata identifies which authorization server protects your API. Paired with oauth-discovery, agents complete auth without reading docs. Per RFC 9728.

mcp-server-cardWeight 10

MCP Server Card served at /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json (pre-PR-2525 shape accepted; spec has advanced)

An MCP Server Card advertises your Model Context Protocol endpoint to Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients — the standard discovery path.

a2a-agent-cardInformational

No A2A Agent Card published at /.well-known/agent-card.json

An A2A Agent Card at /.well-known/agent-card.json describes your service to other agents — capabilities, skills, calling conventions. Per A2A v1.0.

agent-skillsInformational

Agent Skills at /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json uses unknown schema version https://agentskills.io/schemas/discovery/v0.2.0.json

An Agent Skills index at /.well-known/agent-skills/ exposes your capabilities as discrete, individually-addressable skills. Agent Skills v0.2.
