A pet supply retailer blocks browser automation while publishing content to AI crawlers, creating friction for assistant shopping and agent verification.
Older scan
This report was produced by an earlier version of the scanner. Some findings may not match how the site is measured now.
Wide. Agents are dropping out well before humans do.
Ordered by what the evidence says is costing most. Written for whoever owns the site, not whoever builds it.
3 pieces of evidence and the recommended fix are recorded for this issue.
This is a basic scan, so it raises the three issues the deterministic evidence supports. A deep scan sends two agents over the site and raises up to ten, each with cited evidence and the screens to prove it.
A deep scan walks the site with two agents, records cited evidence and screenshots, and keeps a mission timeline. It comes with the paid plans. Making an account costs nothing and gives you one basic scan a month.
The score and the audit trail stay public. The evidence and the files open with an account.
The audit trail behind every number above. Not measured is not zero.
Machine discoverability
No AI crawler is blocked by robots.txt, and a sitemap lists 13 child sitemaps with URLs for discovery. However, a real browser is refused with a 403 error, which is how assistant shopping arrives.
4 observations recorded.
Programmatic onboarding
Not scored: a blog is not measured on this.
Pricing legibility
Not scored: a blog is not measured on this.
Agent-aware instrumentation
No MCP manifest is published at any of the 3 standard paths checked. No ai-plugin.json or OpenAPI spec exists. The site offers no machine-readable way for agents to understand what they can do here beyond reading pages.
4 observations recorded.
Machine-fetchable trust
security.txt is published at /.well-known/security.txt with a contact route for machines to report issues. The homepage resolves in 1263ms and serves structured data to automated clients.
2 observations recorded.
Commercial rails
Not scored: a blog is not measured on this.
Steps to first value
The product is usable immediately with no account required. No signup form exists on the homepage, no sign-in link is present, and the entry path walk found 0 steps to a call to action.
1 observation recorded.
Required fields
No form exists on the homepage and no account is required to access content. The entry path walk counted 0 required fields because there is nothing to ask. A visitor provides nothing to read.
1 observation recorded.
Verification walls
No account system exists, so there is no verification step. The site needs no email, phone, or identity check. A visitor is verified by virtue of arriving.
1 observation recorded.
Error recovery
No form exists on the homepage to generate errors. The site serves content directly without validation steps. Error recovery cannot be measured on a read-only path, but the absence of a form means there is nothing to get wrong on entry.
1 observation recorded.
It got through 7 of 13.
The agent got through 7 of 13 requests, but could not read the site's own guide for language models. It came up empty on 5 other checks too.
