Top fixes

failLink response headersDiscoverability

No HTTP Link: response headers. Emit canonical/alternate/describedby relations so HEAD-only or stream-rendering agents get them without parsing HTML.

Fix: Emit `Link:` headers for canonical, alternate-language, and describedby relations. Agents that fetch HEAD-only or stream-render rely on these.

failText-to-markup ratioReadability

Visible text is 4.8% of HTML weight (5099/107039 bytes). Low. Markup may be crowding out agent-usable text.

Fix: Heavy ad or navigation markup crowds out agent-usable text. Aim for a text-to-DOM ratio above 15%.

warnCookie wall blocks contentReadability

Consent modal detected (trustarc.com); content still visible. Verify the modal does not block first-paint for screenshot agents.

Fix: Defer cookie consent overlay until after content is visible, or render behind the primary content. Agents without JS or with ad-blocking profiles see a blank page otherwise.

warnPage titleReadability

<title> is 73 characters; keep it under 70 so it isn't truncated.

Fix: Add a concise <title> tag. Agents often cite it verbatim.

warnMeta descriptionReadability

Meta description is 239 characters; aim for 50–200 so it's neither thin nor truncated.

Fix: Add `<meta name="description" content="...">` to your primary pages. Agents frequently use it as a summary.

warnHeading hierarchyReadability

Heading issues: no <h1>.

Fix: Use a single H1 and avoid skipping heading levels (H1 → H3).

This scan graded one page. Your site is more than one page.

This graded your homepage. Your pricing, docs, and checkout live on other pages — the ones assistants actually quote when they recommend you — and a 67/100 here means agents are already missing things on the page you polish most. The $29 Deep Scan audits the whole site against all 31 checks, then emails a PDF with every failing check and its exact fix, ranked by what costs you the most visibility. One-time, delivered in minutes, no subscription.

Track this score

Get this report by email, then a heads-up when ihop.com’s agent-readiness actually changes — a check regressing, or the composite dropping.

Two things never trigger an email: a score change caused by us publishing a new rubric, because that is a different instrument rather than a change to your site, and movement explained only by timing-derived checks, which shift run to run on a site nobody touched.

Want it on your own schedule, with Slack or a webhook instead of email? Score-drift monitoring is on every paid plan.

This score says whether an AI agent could read ihop.com. AI traffic analytics says whether one actually came — and which pages turned it away.
