Agent-Readiness Grade / Fix guides
Fix guides: how to pass every Agent-Readiness Grade check
One hand-written guide per check the grade runs: what it looks for, why it matters to AI crawlers and agents (with the vendor's own documentation), copy-paste fixes for static sites, WordPress, Next.js and Cloudflare, and how to verify.
Checked 2026-09-30 against grader version 1.3.0 and the vendor documentation each guide cites.
Crawler access (robots.txt) 0-2 points
robots.txt parsed by user-agent group for eight AI crawler tokens: 2 when none is blocked, 1 when one to three are, 0 when four or more are.
robots.txt for AI crawlers
robots.txt groups for eight AI crawler tokens; a blanket Disallow: / counts as blocked.
Machine-readable surfaces 0-2 points
Seven files fetched: one point for a sitemap (the file or a Sitemap: line in robots.txt), one for /llms.txt or /ai.txt, one for any agent surface (agent-card.json, openapi.json, mcp-registry-auth or /.well-known/x402), capped at 2. A catch-all HTML page never counts.
sitemap.xml
An XML sitemap at /sitemap.xml, or a Sitemap: line in robots.txt pointing anywhere.
llms.txt
A Markdown guide to your key pages at /llms.txt, served as text, not as your HTML 404.

agent-card.json
The A2A agent card at /.well-known/agent-card.json; one of four files for the agent-surface point.
openapi.json
Your API described at /openapi.json; one of four files for the agent-surface point.
x402 manifest
A JSON list of your x402 paid routes at /.well-known/x402; only if you sell per request.
mcp-registry-auth
The public-key proof at /.well-known/mcp-registry-auth; only if you publish MCP servers.
Readable without JavaScript 0-2 points
The home page as a plain fetch sees it: visible text, external scripts, empty root containers and bot challenges.
Readable without JavaScript

Structured data 0-2 points
