Top fixes

failJSON-LD presentStructured data

No JSON-LD blocks found. Add a <script type="application/ld+json"> with a schema.org type for this page.

Fix: Add a <script type="application/ld+json"> describing the page (Organization, Article, Product, FAQPage).

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.

warnCanonical URLDiscoverability

Canonical points elsewhere: https://subway.com/en-us/home. Verify intent (cross-domain canonicals are valid but unusual).

Fix: Add <link rel="canonical" href="…"> pointing at the primary URL of each page.

failHeading hierarchyReadability

Heading issues: no <h1>; 3 skipped level(s).

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

failSchema type coverageStructured data

Page looks like Product; missing JSON-LD type(s): Product.

Fix: Align JSON-LD type to page purpose. Product pages without Product markup are skipped by agent shopping flows.

failTime to first bytePerformance

TTFB 6039ms. Slow. Agents time out aggressively.

Fix: Agents time out aggressively. Use edge caching for anonymous requests to cut TTFB below 800ms.

Add JSON-LD structured data

Paste inside <head>. Use Article/Product instead of Organization on those page types.

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "Home | Subway®",
  "url": "https://subway.com/",
  "description": "Discover customized sandwiches at Subway. Take a look at the sandwich menu, place your order online, find the nearest restaurant, order catering service, or purchase gift cards."

Does AI actually recommend subway.com?

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 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 56/100 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 subway.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 subway.com. AI traffic analytics says whether one actually came — and which pages turned it away.
