harborclient.com Website Audit

## Role
Act as a focused technical SEO, AEO, and crawlability remediation expert who can inspect the public page and safely improve the underlying implementation.
## Inputs
- Primary context: Improve harborclient.com at https://harborclient.com.
- Scanner check ID: seo_crawler_access.
- Fix title: Improve AI search and crawler readiness.
- Scanner check: Crawler access.
- Category: SEO / AEO.
- Status: fail.
- Severity: critical.
- Priority: 2; lower numbers are more urgent.
- Score impact: 14 rule points lost.
- Evidence: page fetch returned HTTP 403 with Cloudflare signals, which can indicate crawler or bot-security blocking. robots.txt blocks OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, Googlebot, and 5 more from AI search or discovery for this page path. Synthetic or robots checks block Claude-User, MistralAI-User, meta-externalfetcher, and 1 more from user-requested fetches. AEO crawler readiness is 65%: discovery 45/45, index and snippet eligibility 20/25, synthetic reachability 0/20, sitemap freshness 0/10.
- What needs attention: One or more AI discovery, user-fetch, indexability, snippet, synthetic reachability, or sitemap signals need attention.
- Why it matters: AI search systems need crawlable, reachable, indexable, and quotable public content. Training and data-use choices remain neutral publisher preferences.
- Status-specific guidance: A public check reported a failure. Reproduce or inspect the issue first, then make the smallest safe fix.
- Audience or recipient: The site owner, builder, or marketing team responsible for improving this public page.
- Constraints, examples, or source material: Treat the live URL as the public target to inspect, not as the only source of truth. When repository, CMS, or hosting access is available, use that implementation context before changing anything.
- Target outcome: After the fix is deployed and the public page is rescanned, this specific check should improve or pass without lowering other SEO / AEO, security, accessibility, or design signals.
- Likely places to inspect: robots.txt rules for the scanned path and common search or AI crawler user agents; CDN, WAF, bot protection, rate-limit, firewall, and security challenge rules that apply to public pages; server responses for unauthenticated HEAD and GET requests to the scanned URL; metadata/head configuration, canonical URL logic, robots and sitemap routes, structured data blocks, page copy, headings, and internal navigation; the route, template, component, CMS entry, theme file, or static page that renders the scanned URL; shared layout, metadata, routing, middleware, server, CDN, or hosting configuration if the issue is not in page content; existing tests, build scripts, preview commands, and deployment notes before choosing verification steps.
## Task
Use the provided context to safely complete this workflow: Use the component scores and exact matched robots rules in the crawler report. Fix blocked search agents, noindex or snippet restrictions, canonical or sitemap gaps, and synthetic WAF/challenge failures. Preserve intentional training opt-outs and keep private, admin, and authenticated paths protected before rescanning.
First reproduce or verify the issue from the public page and available implementation source. Then make the smallest stack-appropriate change that fixes the scanner signal and improves the real user experience.
Use this check-specific implementation guide:
- Identify exactly which crawler group or HTTP/security layer is blocking access before changing rules.
- Allow legitimate public-page crawling with narrow path, user-agent, or verified-bot rules instead of disabling bot protection globally.
- Keep admin, account, staging, preview, API, and private paths blocked or authenticated.
- Keep all metadata, headings, schema, canonical URLs, and visible copy consistent with the same public facts.
- Use accurate, crawlable, human-visible content as the source for search and answer-engine improvements.
- Keep the implementation stack-appropriate: use the existing framework, CMS, hosting provider, design system, and deployment workflow already in the project.
Acceptance criteria for this fix:
- A fresh unauthenticated request to the scanned public URL no longer returns crawler-blocking HTTP statuses such as 401, 403, 429, or 503.
- robots.txt does not disallow the scanned public path for the intended search and AI crawler user agents.
- Security controls still protect private and authenticated areas.
- The public URL exposes the corrected crawl/search/answer signal in rendered HTML or reachable public files.
- The change should be visible to a fresh unauthenticated request and likely improve the related FreeScan SEO / AEO check on rescan.
- A fresh FreeScan rescan should show this check improved or passing after deployment.
## Output
Return a structured response with these headings: Findings, Changes Made, Verification Results, Rescan Expectation, Rollback Notes, Assumptions.
## Rules
- Ask a clarifying question when required context is missing.
- Preserve the user's intent and avoid inventing facts.
- Verify the issue exists before changing code or content. If the issue is not reproducible, explain what you checked and recommend no code change.
- If the live URL and implementation source disagree, trust the implementation source for edits and use the live URL only to understand current public behavior.
- Keep the change narrowly scoped to this fix unless another change is required to avoid a regression.
- Match the existing framework, style, design system, routing patterns, and content conventions.
- Preserve existing URLs, forms, analytics, SEO metadata, accessibility semantics, and conversion flows unless the fix explicitly requires changing them.
- Do not perform broad refactors, dependency upgrades, redesigns, rewrites, migrations, file deletions, route changes, or destructive commands unless they are explicitly required and approved.
- Make changes that are easy to review and roll back.
- Prefer editing the canonical source of the page over patching built output, generated files, CDN-cached HTML, or minified assets.
- Do not make a cosmetic or placeholder change just to satisfy the scanner; the public page should be materially better for visitors, crawlers, or assistive technology.
- Verify the result with the smallest reliable test, build, browser check, or manual inspection available.
## Safety
- Do not request, expose, or reproduce sensitive data.
- Redact private details from examples unless the user explicitly says they are safe to include.
- Do not use credentials, cookies, authenticated data, hidden form values, or private response bodies.
- Do not weaken security headers, authentication, authorization, privacy controls, accessibility, or error handling to make the scan pass.

## Role
Act as a focused web accessibility remediation expert who can inspect the public page and safely improve the underlying implementation.
## Inputs
- Primary context: Improve harborclient.com at https://harborclient.com.
- Scanner check ID: accessibility_axe_violations.
- Fix title: Fix rendered axe accessibility violations.
- Scanner check: Rendered axe accessibility violations.
- Category: Accessibility.
- Status: fail.
- Severity: high.
- Priority: 5; lower numbers are more urgent.
- Score impact: 18 rule points lost.
- Evidence: axe found 1 violation rule(s), including 1 serious or critical rule(s). Top rules: meta-refresh (1).
- What needs attention: The rendered page has accessibility rule violations detected by axe-core.
- Why it matters: axe checks the actual browser-rendered page, so these issues can affect people using keyboards, screen readers, or other assistive technology.
- Status-specific guidance: A public check reported a failure. Reproduce or inspect the issue first, then make the smallest safe fix.
- Audience or recipient: The site owner, builder, or marketing team responsible for improving this public page.
- Constraints, examples, or source material: Treat the live URL as the public target to inspect, not as the only source of truth. When repository, CMS, or hosting access is available, use that implementation context before changing anything.
- Target outcome: After the fix is deployed and the public page is rescanned, this specific check should improve or pass without lowering other SEO / AEO, security, accessibility, or design signals.
- Likely places to inspect: axe violation details, affected selectors, rendered DOM, component source, and interaction state that triggered the issue; semantic markup, labels, landmarks, headings, focus states, image rendering, form controls, and browser-rendered accessibility output; the route, template, component, CMS entry, theme file, or static page that renders the scanned URL; shared layout, metadata, routing, middleware, server, CDN, or hosting configuration if the issue is not in page content; existing tests, build scripts, preview commands, and deployment notes before choosing verification steps.
## Affected Elements
### Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used
- Rule: meta-refresh.
- Selector: meta[http-equiv="refresh"].
- Failure: Fix any of the following: <meta> tag forces timed refresh of page (less than 20 hours).
## Task
Use the provided context to safely complete this workflow: Fix the top axe rule IDs first, especially critical and serious violations around names, roles, labels, headings, contrast, landmarks, and keyboard-accessible controls.
First reproduce or verify the issue from the public page and available implementation source. Then make the smallest stack-appropriate change that fixes the scanner signal and improves the real user experience.
Use this check-specific implementation guide:
- Fix each reported accessibility violation at the semantic source.
- Avoid suppressing automated checks unless there is a documented false positive.
- Fix the semantic or interaction source of the issue rather than hiding warnings with ARIA or visual-only workarounds.
- Keep keyboard, screen reader, and touch users in the verification path.
- Keep the implementation stack-appropriate: use the existing framework, CMS, hosting provider, design system, and deployment workflow already in the project.
Acceptance criteria for this fix:
- Critical and serious axe issues tied to this page are resolved or clearly documented as non-reproducible.
- Fixes do not introduce new keyboard, label, contrast, or landmark regressions.
- The affected UI remains usable by keyboard and assistive technology and does not introduce heading, label, focus, or contrast regressions.
- The change can be checked in the browser or with an accessibility audit tool when available.
- A fresh FreeScan rescan should show this check improved or passing after deployment.

## Role
Act as a focused conversion-focused frontend quality remediation expert who can inspect the public page and safely improve the underlying implementation.
## Inputs
- Primary context: Improve harborclient.com at https://harborclient.com.
- Scanner check ID: design_responsive_viewport.
- Fix title: Add responsive viewport metadata.
- Scanner check: Responsive viewport basics.
- Category: Design.
- Status: fail.
- Severity: high.
- Priority: 3; lower numbers are more urgent.
- Score impact: 12 rule points lost.
- Evidence: No viewport meta tag was detected.
- What needs attention: The page is missing the viewport meta tag used for mobile layout.
- Why it matters: Launch traffic often comes from phones; missing viewport metadata can make the page render poorly.
- Status-specific guidance: A public check reported a failure. Reproduce or inspect the issue first, then make the smallest safe fix.
- Audience or recipient: The site owner, builder, or marketing team responsible for improving this public page.
- Constraints, examples, or source material: Treat the live URL as the public target to inspect, not as the only source of truth. When repository, CMS, or hosting access is available, use that implementation context before changing anything.
- Target outcome: After the fix is deployed and the public page is rescanned, this specific check should improve or pass without lowering other SEO / AEO, security, accessibility, or design signals.
- Likely places to inspect: viewport meta tag, responsive layout wrappers, fixed-width elements, images, tables, embeds, and mobile CSS; page layout, responsive CSS, component states, copy hierarchy, CTA placement, spacing tokens, rendered console output, and performance-sensitive assets; the route, template, component, CMS entry, theme file, or static page that renders the scanned URL; shared layout, metadata, routing, middleware, server, CDN, or hosting configuration if the issue is not in page content; existing tests, build scripts, preview commands, and deployment notes before choosing verification steps.
## Task
Use the provided context to safely complete this workflow: Add a viewport meta tag with width=device-width and initial-scale=1.
First reproduce or verify the issue from the public page and available implementation source. Then make the smallest stack-appropriate change that fixes the scanner signal and improves the real user experience.
Use this check-specific implementation guide:
- Add or correct the viewport meta tag and constrain elements that exceed the viewport.
- Use responsive sizing instead of hard-coded desktop-only widths.
- Improve the actual rendered page at mobile and desktop sizes, not only the source code shape.
- Preserve core conversion flows while making layout, hierarchy, readability, or runtime health better.
- Keep the implementation stack-appropriate: use the existing framework, CMS, hosting provider, design system, and deployment workflow already in the project.
Acceptance criteria for this fix:
- The page scales correctly on mobile and desktop.
- No important content or controls overflow horizontally.
- The rendered page is visually stable and usable on mobile and desktop viewports.
- The fix does not hide content, break CTAs, introduce console errors, or reduce clarity for visitors.
- A fresh FreeScan rescan should show this check improved or passing after deployment.

Act as a focused technical SEO, AEO, and crawlability remediation expert who can inspect the public page and safely improve the underlying implementation.
## Inputs
- Primary context: Improve harborclient.com at https://harborclient.com.
- Scanner check ID: seo_sitemap_xml.
- Fix title: Publish a valid sitemap.
- Scanner check: Sitemap validity.
- Category: SEO / AEO.
- Status: fail.
- Severity: high.
- Priority: 7; lower numbers are more urgent.
- Score impact: 12 rule points lost.
- Evidence: HTTP 403 returned for sitemap_xml.
- What needs attention: The sitemap file was not reachable or did not look like valid sitemap XML.
- Why it matters: A sitemap helps search engines discover the landing page and related public pages sooner.
- Status-specific guidance: A public check reported a failure. Reproduce or inspect the issue first, then make the smallest safe fix.
- Audience or recipient: The site owner, builder, or marketing team responsible for improving this public page.
- Constraints, examples, or source material: Treat the live URL as the public target to inspect, not as the only source of truth. When repository, CMS, or hosting access is available, use that implementation context before changing anything.
- Target outcome: After the fix is deployed and the public page is rescanned, this specific check should improve or pass without lowering other SEO / AEO, security, accessibility, or design signals.
- Likely places to inspect: robots.txt Sitemap directives, static sitemap files, dynamic sitemap routes, sitemap indexes, canonical URL generation, and deployment output; metadata/head configuration, canonical URL logic, robots and sitemap routes, structured data blocks, page copy, headings, and internal navigation; the route, template, component, CMS entry, theme file, or static page that renders the scanned URL; shared layout, metadata, routing, middleware, server, CDN, or hosting configuration if the issue is not in page content; existing tests, build scripts, preview commands, and deployment notes before choosing verification steps.
## Task
Use the provided context to safely complete this workflow: Add a static sitemap file, dynamic sitemap route, or robots.txt Sitemap directive that returns valid urlset or sitemapindex XML. Include public canonical URLs and confirm the sitemap URL returns HTTP 200.
First reproduce or verify the issue from the public page and available implementation source. Then make the smallest stack-appropriate change that fixes the scanner signal and improves the real user experience.
Use this check-specific implementation guide:
- Provide a reachable sitemap URL with valid urlset or sitemapindex XML. Preserve an existing robots.txt Sitemap directive such as /sitemap_index.xml when it is intentional and valid.
- Include canonical public URLs and avoid localhost, staging, private, noindex, or duplicate URLs.
- Keep all metadata, headings, schema, canonical URLs, and visible copy consistent with the same public facts.
- Use accurate, crawlable, human-visible content as the source for search and answer-engine improvements.
- Keep the implementation stack-appropriate: use the existing framework, CMS, hosting provider, design system, and deployment workflow already in the project.
Acceptance criteria for this fix:
- The sitemap URL declared in robots.txt, or /sitemap.xml when no directive exists, returns HTTP 200 with a valid urlset or sitemapindex root.
- The sitemap contains at least the scanned public page or its canonical equivalent.
- The public URL exposes the corrected crawl/search/answer signal in rendered HTML or reachable public files.
- The change should be visible to a fresh unauthenticated request and likely improve the related FreeScan SEO / AEO check on rescan.
- A fresh FreeScan rescan should show this check improved or passing after deployment.

## Inputs
- Primary context: Improve harborclient.com at https://harborclient.com.
- Scanner check ID: seo_llms_txt.
- Fix title: Add an LLM-readable product file.
- Scanner check: Optional LLM-readable file.
- Category: SEO / AEO.
- Status: unknown.
- Severity: info.
- Priority: 24; lower numbers are more urgent.
- Score impact: 0 rule points lost.
- Evidence: No llms.txt or .well-known/llms.txt was found. This optional file does not determine AI-search eligibility.
- What needs attention: The scan did not find llms.txt or .well-known/llms.txt.
- Why it matters: A short LLM-readable file can help answer engines and AI tools summarize your product accurately.
- Status-specific guidance: The scanner could not verify this from safe public data. Manually verify first; if the site already handles it correctly, report that no code change is needed.
- Audience or recipient: The site owner, builder, or marketing team responsible for improving this public page.
- Constraints, examples, or source material: Treat the live URL as the public target to inspect, not as the only source of truth. When repository, CMS, or hosting access is available, use that implementation context before changing anything.
- Target outcome: After the fix is deployed and the public page is rescanned, this specific check should improve or pass without lowering other SEO / AEO, security, accessibility, or design signals.
- Likely places to inspect: public /llms.txt or /.well-known/llms.txt route/file and source content used to describe the product; metadata/head configuration, canonical URL logic, robots and sitemap routes, structured data blocks, page copy, headings, and internal navigation; the route, template, component, CMS entry, theme file, or static page that renders the scanned URL; shared layout, metadata, routing, middleware, server, CDN, or hosting configuration if the issue is not in page content; existing tests, build scripts, preview commands, and deployment notes before choosing verification steps.
## Task
Use the provided context to safely complete this workflow: Add /llms.txt or /.well-known/llms.txt with the product name, audience, value proposition, and key public links.
First reproduce or verify the issue from the public page and available implementation source. Then make the smallest stack-appropriate change that fixes the scanner signal and improves the real user experience.
Use this check-specific implementation guide:
- Add a concise text file with product name, audience, value proposition, important public links, and any relevant docs/support URLs.
- Keep it factual and aligned with visible public content.
- Keep all metadata, headings, schema, canonical URLs, and visible copy consistent with the same public facts.
- Use accurate, crawlable, human-visible content as the source for search and answer-engine improvements.
- Keep the implementation stack-appropriate: use the existing framework, CMS, hosting provider, design system, and deployment workflow already in the project.
Acceptance criteria for this fix:
- /llms.txt or /.well-known/llms.txt returns HTTP 200 publicly.
- The content is short, accurate, and useful for AI tools without exposing private details.
- The public URL exposes the corrected crawl/search/answer signal in rendered HTML or reachable public files.
- The change should be visible to a fresh unauthenticated request and likely improve the related FreeScan SEO / AEO check on rescan.
- A fresh FreeScan rescan should show this check improved or passing after deployment.
