Technical Issues

AI search engines can't read your sitecritical~2 min fix

Your site blocks 4 AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended...). This means ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other AI assistants won't recommend your site in their answers. Ask your developer to update the robots.txt file to allow these crawlers.

Quick Fix
# Add to your robots.txt to allow AI crawlers:
User-agent: GPTBot
Allow: /

User-agent: ChatGPT-User
Allow: /

User-agent: ClaudeBot
Allow: /

User-agent: PerplexityBot
Allow: /

User-agent: Google-Extended
Allow: /
Allow AI crawlers to index your content so you appear in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
No FAQ section foundwarning~15 min fix

A clear Frequently Asked Questions section presents important questions and answers in a directly extractable format. Add one when it reflects real customer questions, and keep each answer factual and self-contained.

Quick Fix
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "FAQPage",
  "mainEntity": [{
    "@type": "Question",
    "name": "What does your company do?",
    "acceptedAnswer": {
      "@type": "Answer",
      "text": "We provide [your service]. Our solution helps..."
    }
  }]
}
</script>
FAQPage schema labels questions and answers in a machine-readable format, making the page easier for search and AI systems to extract accurately.
AI doesn't know who you areinfo~10 min fix

Your site is missing identity markup that tells AI engines "we are [Company X], and here's what we do." Adding this helps AI assistants recognize your brand as an authority and recommend you by name.

Quick Fix
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "Your Company",
  "url": "https://yoursite.com",
  "logo": "https://yoursite.com/logo.png",
  "sameAs": [
    "https://twitter.com/yourhandle",
    "https://linkedin.com/company/yourcompany",
    "https://github.com/yourorg"
  ],
  "contactPoint": {
    "@type": "ContactPoint",
    "email": "hello@yoursite.com",
    "contactType": "customer service"
  }
}
</script>
Entity markup tells AI models who you are, making them more likely to cite your brand accurately.

SEO & Technical Issues (6)

Missing HSTS headercriticalSecurity~2 min fix

Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security to force HTTPS connections.

Quick Fix
# Nginx:
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains" always;

# Apache (.htaccess):
Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains"

# Next.js (next.config.js headers):
{ key: 'Strict-Transport-Security', value: 'max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains' }
HSTS forces browsers to use HTTPS, preventing downgrade attacks and cookie hijacking.
Missing Content Security Policy headercriticalSecurity~5 min fix

Add a Content-Security-Policy header to prevent XSS and injection attacks.

Quick Fix
# Nginx:
add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';" always;

# Apache (.htaccess):
Header set Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';"

# Next.js (next.config.js headers):
{ key: 'Content-Security-Policy', value: "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'" }
Content-Security-Policy prevents XSS attacks by controlling which resources the browser can load.
Missing X-Frame-Options headerwarningSecurity~2 min fix

Set X-Frame-Options to prevent clickjacking attacks.

Quick Fix
# Nginx:
add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN" always;

# Next.js (next.config.js headers):
{ key: 'X-Frame-Options', value: 'SAMEORIGIN' }
X-Frame-Options prevents clickjacking by controlling who can embed your page in an iframe.
Missing Permissions Policy headerwarningSecurity~2 min fix

Add a Permissions-Policy header to control browser feature access.

Quick Fix
# Nginx:
add_header Permissions-Policy "camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()" always;

# Next.js (next.config.js headers):
{ key: 'Permissions-Policy', value: 'camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()' }
Permissions-Policy restricts which browser features your site can use, reducing attack surface.
No sitemap.xml foundwarningSEO~15 min fix

Your site is missing a sitemap.xml file. Sitemaps help search engines discover and index all your pages. Submit one to Google Search Console.

Quick Fix
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Readiness gaps — This Technical Audit found barriers that can make your page harder for AI systems to access, understand, or reuse. It does not measure citations, recommendations, or answer-level visibility.

Security gaps — Missing security headers may flag your site as unsafe in browsers, hurting trust and conversions.

Most of these issues have simple, copy-paste fixes. Check the code snippets above for quick solutions.

Security score: 25/100

Most security issues are 5-minute fixes — adding HTTP headers to your server config. Check the code fixes above for the exact headers to add — we include copy-paste code for Nginx, Apache, Vercel, and Netlify.
