After the top fixes

Findings

What to fix first

  1. The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included +25 points

    A plain fetch was refused (challenge:checking your browser). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. How to fix it

  2. Structured data is incomplete +7 points

    Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it

Already right

  • robots.txt lets AI crawlers in There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
  • Structured data found (Organization) no address, phone or hours in 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.
