Findings

What to fix first

  1. The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included +25 points

    A plain fetch was refused (TimeoutError: The operation was aborted due to timeout); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. How to fix it
