Key Gaps

Biggest opportunities

AI agents blocked at the WAF
Homepage GET returned HTTP 403 from every fetch path we tried — plain HTTP request, browser-style user agent, AND a real headless Chromium browser. The block is at the WAF / TLS layer, not user-agent-based filtering.
→ Allowlist known AI-agent user agents (GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-Web, anthropic-ai, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, Bytespider) and their published IP ranges in your WAF (Akamai/Cloudflare). Ease bot-protection rules for /.well-known/* and /robots.txt at minimum. Publish /llms.txt and /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json so agents can find a machine-readable map of your site.
Structured data — Article / post pages
Sampled 1 article / post pages; expected Article OR Blogposting OR Newsarticle, found: no JSON-LD.
→ Add Article or BlogPosting schema to posts under this pattern with `headline`, `datePublished`, `dateModified`, `author` (Person), and `image`. Target path pattern: /learn/*.
Structured data / Schema.org coverage

→ Top improvements for this scan (highest impact, already quick to ship): • Add Article or Blogposting or Newsarticle on /learn/* (Article / post pages) — impact +14, ease 4/5. • Add Organization or Website on / (Homepage) — impact +10, ease 1/5. • Add Blog or Article or Blogposting or Itemlist on /learn/* (Blog index / posts) — impact +10, ease 2/5.
Primary content structure
Homepage not fetchable
→ Render important content server-side or provide a static HTML representation.
Business clarity on homepage
Could not fetch homepage
→ Ensure the homepage renders core messaging server-side.
