2 of 8 AI crawlers may read the site, 6 disallowed

• GET /robots.txt -> HTTP 200, 1.0 KB, 20 user-agent groups
• Allowed: OAI-SearchBot (via *) (10 path rules), PerplexityBot (via *) (10 path rules)
• Disallowed: GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Amazonbot, CCBot, Bytespider

Fix: Add a group for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended and the others with "Allow: /" (or drop the blanket "Disallow: /") if you want answer engines to cite you.

None of the 7 machine-readable surfaces is published

• /llms.txt: HTTP 200 but an HTML page (catch-all route, not a real file)
• /sitemap.xml: HTTP 200 but an HTML page (catch-all route, not a real file)
• /.well-known/x402: HTTP 200 but an HTML page (catch-all route, not a real file)
• /.well-known/agent-card.json: HTTP 200 but an HTML page (catch-all route, not a real file)
• /.well-known/mcp-registry-auth: HTTP 200 but an HTML page (catch-all route, not a real file)
• /openapi.json: HTTP 200 but an HTML page (catch-all route, not a real file)
• /ai.txt: HTTP 200 but an HTML page (catch-all route, not a real file)

Fix: Publish /llms.txt (a short Markdown guide to your key pages); /sitemap.xml; one agent surface: /openapi.json, /.well-known/agent-card.json, or /.well-known/x402 if you sell to agents.

Home page is a JS-only shell

• GET https://bandcamp.com/ -> HTTP 200, text/html, 3.0 KB
• 209 characters of visible text with scripts, styles and tags removed; <title>: "Client Challenge"
• 0 external scripts, 1 inline; <noscript> present
• first words: "A required part of this site couldn’t load. This may be due to a browser extension, network issues, or browser settings. Please check your c..."

Fix: Server-render or prerender the first paint so the HTML carries your text; agents and most crawlers do not execute your scripts.

No JSON-LD, Open Graph incomplete

• 0 JSON-LD blocks
• Open Graph: no og:title; no og:description
• meta description: absent

Fix: add a JSON-LD block (Organization or WebSite, plus Product, FAQPage or Article where relevant); add og:title and og:description so answer engines describe you accurately.

0 of 6 required notices complete (desk score 0/12)

• Desk score 0/12 across 6 checks (12 of 12 pages read)
• Missing or partial: TAKE IT DOWN Act notice (0/2); DMCA / copyright notice (0/2); DSA notice-and-action (EU users) (0/2); Privacy request method (0/2); Accessibility statement and feedback (0/2); Marketing opt-out (0/2)

Fix: Publish the missing notices with a working request mechanism. Start with TAKE IT DOWN Act notice: Publish a plain-language notice and a request mechanism usable without an account; act within 48 hours.

Not selling to agents: no census entry, no /mcp endpoint

• Not in the census of 2,031 hosts selling to agents (2026-09-29)
• GET /mcp -> HTTP 200 HTML page (catch-all route, not an MCP endpoint)

Fix: Expose a Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint at /mcp (or a paid x402 route) so agents can call you, not just read you.
