Fix · WordPress: Use Yoast/Rank Math’s robots.txt editor (or a plugin) and ensure no Disallow for AI user-agents.

No reachable sitemap.xml. Publish one and reference it in robots.txt.

Fix · WordPress: Yoast/Rank Math generate /sitemap_index.xml automatically. Enable it and list it in robots.txt.

Found /llms.txt but missing H1 header and markdown links.

Fix · WordPress: Upload an llms.txt to your site root (cPanel/SFTP) or via a “raw file” plugin. Build it at /tools/llms-txt-generator.

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 1.3% of HTML weight (14736/1176533 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%.

Browser pass unavailable; HTML looks like a JS-shell (e.g. #__next / #root). Likely JS-dependent.

Fix · WordPress: Most themes render server-side. Check that page builders (Elementor/Divi) aren’t deferring text to JavaScript, and disable JS lazy-loading for body copy.
