Technical Issues

AI engines can't understand your businesscritical~10 min fix

Your site has no structured data — the machine-readable labels that tell AI what your business does, what you offer, and why you're an authority. Without this, AI assistants are much less likely to mention or recommend you.

Quick Fix
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "Your Company Name",
  "url": "https://yoursite.com",
  "description": "Brief description of your business",
  "sameAs": [
    "https://twitter.com/yourhandle",
    "https://linkedin.com/company/yourcompany"
  ]
}
</script>
Add JSON-LD structured data so AI models understand your business entity and can cite you accurately.
No FAQ section foundwarning~15 min fix

AI assistants love Q&A content — it's the easiest format for them to extract and quote. Add a Frequently Asked Questions section to your page, and you'll significantly increase your chances of being cited in AI-generated answers.

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.
Content is hard for AI to scaninfo

Your page relies on plain text without lists, tables, or comparison charts. AI assistants extract and cite structured content (bullet points, comparison tables, step-by-step lists) far more accurately than long paragraphs.

SEO & Technical Issues (15)

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-Content-Type-Options headerwarningSecurity~2 min fix

Set X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff to prevent MIME-type sniffing.

Quick Fix
# Nginx:
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always;

# Next.js (next.config.js headers):
{ key: 'X-Content-Type-Options', value: 'nosniff' }
Prevents browsers from MIME-type sniffing, which can lead to security vulnerabilities.
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 Referrer Policy headerwarningSecurity~2 min fix

Add a Referrer-Policy header to control information leakage.

Quick Fix
# Nginx:
add_header Referrer-Policy "strict-origin-when-cross-origin" always;

# Next.js (next.config.js headers):
{ key: 'Referrer-Policy', value: 'strict-origin-when-cross-origin' }
Controls how much referrer information is sent with requests, protecting user privacy.
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.
Title tag too longwarningSEO

Your title is 67 characters. Keep it under 60 for best display in search results.

Missing canonical URLwarningSEO~3 min fix

Add a canonical link to prevent duplicate content issues in search engines.

Quick Fix
<link rel="canonical" href="https://yoursite.com/current-page">
Canonical URLs prevent duplicate content issues by telling search engines which version of a page is the original.
Multiple H1 headings foundwarningSEO

Found 2 H1 headings. Best practice is to have exactly one H1 per page for clear content hierarchy.

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"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
  <url>
    <loc>https://yoursite.com/</loc>
    <lastmod>2026-03-15</lastmod>
    <priority>1.0</priority>
  </url>
  <url>
    <loc>https://yoursite.com/about</loc>
    <lastmod>2026-03-15</lastmod>
    <priority>0.8</priority>
  </url>
</urlset>
A sitemap.xml helps search engines discover and index all your pages. Place it at your site root.
Large HTML documentwarningPerformance

Your HTML is 493KB. Large HTML documents take longer to parse. Consider lazy loading content or splitting into multiple pages.

1 render-blocking scriptwarningPerformance

1 script without async or defer attributes. These block page rendering. Add defer or async to non-critical scripts.

8 external stylesheetswarningPerformance

Loading 8 CSS files. Each blocks rendering. Consider combining stylesheets or inlining critical CSS.

No structured data foundinfoSEO

Add JSON-LD structured data (Schema.org) to help search engines understand your content and earn rich snippets in search results.

No skip navigation linkinfoAccessibility~5 min fix

Add a 'Skip to main content' link at the top of the page so keyboard users can bypass repetitive navigation.

Quick Fix
<!-- Add as the first element inside <body> -->
<a href="#main-content" class="sr-only focus:not-sr-only focus:absolute focus:top-2 focus:left-2 focus:z-50 focus:px-4 focus:py-2 focus:bg-blue-600 focus:text-white focus:rounded">
  Skip to main content
</a>

<!-- Add id to your main content area -->
<main id="main-content">
  ...
</main>
Skip links let keyboard users bypass repetitive navigation and jump straight to content.

What This Score Means for You

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: 0/100

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.

Score of 0 means your site has no security headers at all. Browsers may show security warnings to visitors.
