AI agents struggle with Linode's site due to missing llms.txt file, limiting discoverability and proper integration with language models.

Discovery 20.1/22.2

  • API reference linked from the homepagedetailsWARN

    no link to an API reference in the homepage HTML

    Fix: If you have an API, link its reference from the homepage. If you don't, this check is safe to ignore.

  • Homepage has a descriptive titledetailsWARN

    title is 82 characters (truncated in most surfaces)

    Fix: Trim the <title> to 70 characters or fewer so it is not cut off.

  • Canonical URL declareddetailsPASS

    https://www.linode.com/

  • Documentation linked from the homepagedetailsPASS

    5 docs link(s), e.g. https://techdocs.akamai.com/cloud-computing/docs/welcome

  • Homepage has a meta descriptiondetailsPASS

    82 characters

  • Open Graph tags presentdetailsPASS

    og:title and og:description present

  • robots.txt allows agent crawlersdetailsPASS

    all 6 agent crawlers may fetch /

  • robots.txt existsdetailsPASS

    HTTP 200, 499 bytes

  • robots.txt points at the sitemapdetailsPASS

    robots.txt has a Sitemap: line

  • sitemap.xml exists and parsesdetailsPASS

    7 URL(s) listed

  • Brand findable in agent searchdetailsN/A

    search-based checks are deferred — excluded from the score

  • Listed in an MCP registrydetailsN/A

    registry lookup not implemented in v1 — excluded from the score rather than guessed

Accessibility 22/33.3

  • llms.txt is publisheddetailsFAIL

    /llms.txt not served (HTTP 404)

    Fix: Publish /llms.txt: a plain-markdown index that tells an agent what this product is and where the authoritative docs live. It is the cheapest high-leverage file you can add.

  • Structured data (JSON-LD) on the homepagedetailsWARN

    no JSON-LD blocks on the homepage

    Fix: Add a JSON-LD block (schema.org Organization or SoftwareApplication) so agents get your name, description and links as data rather than prose.

  • llms-full.txt is publisheddetailsWARN

    /llms-full.txt not served

    Fix: Optional but cheap: publish /llms-full.txt with your docs inlined as one markdown file, so an agent can read everything in a single fetch.

  • Serves markdown when asked for itdetailsWARN

    Accept: text/markdown → text/html;charset=utf-8

    Fix: Optional but increasingly expected: honour `Accept: text/markdown` by serving a markdown rendering of the page, so agents skip HTML parsing entirely.

  • Same response for agents and browsersdetailsWARN

    browser got HTTP 403, agent got HTTP 200

    Fix: Serve agents and browsers the same status for the homepage.

  • Content-to-markup ratio is reasonabledetailsWARN

    ratio 0.0441 — 7125 readable chars in 161467 bytes of HTML

    Fix: Most of what you serve is markup and inline script rather than content. Reduce inline payloads or server-render more text so the signal-to-noise ratio favours readers.

  • Homepage responds to an agent requestdetailsPASS

    HTTP 200 for / (agent UA)

  • Served over HTTPSdetailsPASS

    https://linode.com/

  • Homepage has readable text without JavaScriptdetailsPASS

    7125 characters of text in the served HTML

  • No long redirect chain on the homepagedetailsPASS

    1 redirect(s)

  • Docs are readable without JavaScriptdetailsN/A

    /docs not served (HTTP 403) — docs may live on another path or host

  • Links in llms.txt resolvedetailsN/A

    no llms.txt

  • llms.txt is structured markdowndetailsN/A

    no llms.txt to parse

Usability 22.2/44.4

  • agents.md is publisheddetailsWARN

    /agents.md not served (HTTP 404)

    Fix: Publish /agents.md: what an agent may do here, which endpoints matter, auth requirements, and rate limits. It is the agent-facing counterpart to a README.

  • A documentation endpoint respondsdetailsWARN

    /docs → HTTP 403

    Fix: Serve docs at the conventional /docs path, or redirect it to wherever they live. Agents try conventional paths first.

  • Errors are machine-readabledetailsWARN

    404 returns HTML, not a machine-readable body

    Fix: Content-negotiate your errors: return a JSON body with a stable `code` (and a `next_action` where recovery exists) to clients that ask for JSON.

  • OpenAPI document publisheddetailsWARN

    /openapi.json not served (HTTP 404)

    Fix: If you have an HTTP API, publish its OpenAPI document at a predictable path (/openapi.json). It is the difference between an agent reading your contract and an agent guessing it. If you have no HTTP API, ignore this.

  • .well-known/mcp.json advertises an MCP serverdetailsWARN

    /.well-known/mcp.json not served (HTTP 403)

    Fix: If you run an MCP server, advertise it at /.well-known/mcp.json so agents discover it without being told its URL.

  • The /api root behaves predictablydetailsN/A

    /api did not respond (timeout after 8s)

  • MCP server completes the initialize handshakedetailsN/A

    no MCP endpoint found to probe (none in the input URL and none advertised at /.well-known/mcp.json)

  • MCP tool parameters are typed and describeddetailsN/A

    no listed MCP tools to inspect

  • Every MCP tool has a descriptiondetailsN/A

    no listed MCP tools to inspect

  • MCP server lists toolsdetailsN/A

    no MCP endpoint to probe

  • OpenAPI declares its auth schemedetailsN/A

    no parseable OpenAPI document

  • OpenAPI operations are describeddetailsN/A

    no parseable OpenAPI document

  • OpenAPI documents error responsesdetailsN/A

    no parseable OpenAPI document

  • OpenAPI document is structurally validdetailsN/A

    no parseable OpenAPI document
