Improve AI search and crawler readiness
Why this needs attention
One or more AI discovery, user-fetch, indexability, snippet, synthetic reachability, or sitemap signals need attention.
AI search systems need crawlable, reachable, indexable, and quotable public content. Training and data-use choices remain neutral publisher preferences.
Recommended correction
Evidence
FreeScan.app reached the public page with HTTP 200. robots.txt blocks Claude-User, MistralAI-User, meta-externalfetcher for this page path. ClaudeBot, meta-externalagent, CCBot are explicit training or data-use opt-outs and do not reduce the AEO score. AEO crawler readiness is 90%: discovery 45/45, index and snippet eligibility 25/25, synthetic reachability 20/20, sitemap freshness 0/10.

Fix rendered axe accessibility violations
Why this needs attention
The rendered page has accessibility rule violations detected by axe-core.
axe checks the actual browser-rendered page, so these issues can affect people using keyboards, screen readers, or other assistive technology.
Recommended correction
Evidence
axe found 4 violation rule(s); 4 non-contrast rule(s) are scored here, including 3 serious or critical rule(s). Color contrast is scored once by the dedicated contrast check. 3 result(s) require review. Top rules: aria-allowed-attr (2), scrollable-region-focusable (1), target-size (21), empty-table-header (5).

Fix Prompt
Shorten the meta description
Why this needs attention
The meta description is 171 characters, so it is longer than the recommended maximum.
Long descriptions are likely to be truncated or rewritten, which can hide the most useful part of the message.
Recommended correction
Evidence
Meta description is 171 characters, above the 170-character maximum.

Priority 3: fix before sharing the page publicly.
Fix Prompt
Add common public security headers
Why this needs attention
Several browser protection headers are missing or present only as weak, narrow policies.
These headers reduce avoidable browser-side risk and show a baseline of care before launch.
Recommended correction
Evidence
Detected 4 of 5 common public security controls. Present: strict-transport-security, content-security-policy, x-content-type-options, frame protection (x-frame-options). Missing: referrer-policy. Needs strengthening: none.

Strengthen answer-engine content quality
Why this needs attention
The page is technically discoverable, but its entity clarity, answer-ready copy, structured data, evidence, authorship, or freshness is not yet complete.
Search and answer systems need clear, extractable, verifiable facts in addition to crawl access and metadata.
Recommended correction

Why this needs attention
The page is missing a primary JSON-LD entity that matches its actual role, or its named entity is not supported by visible content.
Structured data gives search and answer engines explicit facts about your product.

Schema quality and validity
Why this needs attention
The JSON-LD may parse, but its required facts, page-role relevance, visible-content agreement, or graph connections are incomplete.
Invalid structured data can be ignored by search and answer systems, even when visible page content is strong.
Recommended correction
Evidence
5 of 5 JSON-LD block(s) parsed. Semantic quality is 65/100: completeness 80/100, graph connectivity 29/100, primary types Organization, SoftwareApplication, WebPage, WebSite, currently useful search-feature types Organization, SoftwareApplication, WebSite. Nested types do not count as separate schema coverage. SearchAction is retired as a Google search feature and earns no coverage credit. Failed: earned 6 of 8 points from partial coverage.
