lemonde.fr
This is how AI agents (not browsers) experience lemonde.fr. The score weights five categories of machine-readability; the ticks on the arc are the 31 individual checks behind it.
Top fixes
4 access agent(s) blocked: Claude-User, Claude-SearchBot, YouBot, Amazonbot — these keep your site out of AI answers. 9 training-data crawler(s) blocked (ClaudeBot, anthropic-ai, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, Bytespider, CCBot, cohere-ai, Diffbot, FacebookBot) — a licensing choice, not scored.
Fix: Allow GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot in robots.txt (or remove the blanket Disallow).
No reachable sitemap.xml. Publish one and reference it in robots.txt.
Fix: Publish /sitemap.xml and reference it from robots.txt with a Sitemap: line.
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.
Visible text is 4.0% of HTML weight (72962/1819285 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%.
Page looks like FAQPage; missing JSON-LD type(s): FAQPage.
Fix: Align JSON-LD type to page purpose. Product pages without Product markup are skipped by agent shopping flows.
Heading issues: 1 skipped level(s).
Fix: Use a single H1 and avoid skipping heading levels (H1 → H3).

Fix it
Generated, ready-to-ship files for the gaps above — copy them or download and drop them into your repo.
This scan shows whether an agent can read the site. One free probe asks a real assistant a real buying question and records who it cited.
This graded your homepage. Your pricing, docs, and checkout live on other pages — the ones assistants actually quote when they recommend you — and a 66/100 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.

Get this report by email, then a heads-up when lemonde.fr’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 lemonde.fr. AI traffic analytics says whether one actually came — and which pages turned it away.
