things to fix

Action test, 2026-10-19: completed, an agent can get as far as the step before confirming. Date, time and party-size controls are on the page, so an agent can get to the confirmation step.

Provisional, with the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.

After the top fixes

With the two fixes above (The server turns AI crawlers away at the door; Almost no text without JavaScript), the score would be about 96.3%. That would be 4th of 382 in Lausanne, up from 51st.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +10 points

    Requests as GPTBot (cloudflare_challenge), ClaudeBot (cloudflare_challenge), PerplexityBot (cloudflare_challenge) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. How to fix it

  2. Almost no text without JavaScript +2 points

    Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. How to fix it

  3. No llms.txt no points, but worth doing

    Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. How to fix it

  • Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
  • Booking on your own site Agents can book without going through a marketplace.
