Remove exposed sensitive files
-16 rule ptsWhat failed
A small public allowlist probe found a sensitive-looking file path.
Evidence
A small allowlist probe returned a public success response.
Priority
Priority 1: fix before sharing the page publicly.
Why it matters
Publicly exposed config or backup files can leak implementation details or secrets.
How to fix it
Remove the exposed file, block public access to that path, and rotate any secrets that may have been exposed.
Agent Prompt
Improve AI search and crawler readiness
-4 rule ptsWhat failed
One or more AI discovery, user-fetch, indexability, snippet, synthetic reachability, or sitemap signals need attention.
Evidence
FreeScan.app reached the public page with HTTP 200. robots.txt blocks OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, Googlebot, and 5 more from AI search or discovery for this page path. GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, and 4 more are explicit training or data-use opt-outs and do not reduce the AEO score. AEO crawler readiness is 70%: discovery 45/45, index and snippet eligibility 5/25, synthetic reachability 20/20, sitemap freshness 0/10.
Priority
Priority 2: fix before sharing the page publicly.
Why it matters
AI search systems need crawlable, reachable, indexable, and quotable public content. Training and data-use choices remain neutral publisher preferences.
How to fix it
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.
Agent Prompt
Add common public security headers
-18 rule ptsWhat failed
Several basic browser protection headers were not visible.
Evidence
Detected 0 of 5 common public security controls. Present: none. Missing: strict-transport-security, content-security-policy, x-content-type-options, frame protection (x-frame-options or content-security-policy frame-ancestors), referrer-policy.
Priority
Priority 5: fix before sharing the page publicly.
Why it matters
These headers reduce avoidable browser-side risk and show a baseline of care before launch.
How to fix it
Add only the missing protections among Strict-Transport-Security, Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, frame protection, and Referrer-Policy. An existing CSP frame-ancestors directive already provides frame protection and must remain unchanged.

Priority
Priority 5: fix before sharing the page publicly.
Why it matters
axe checks the actual browser-rendered page, so these issues can affect people using keyboards, screen readers, or other assistive technology.
How to fix it
Fix the top axe rule IDs first, especially critical and serious violations around names, roles, labels, headings, contrast, landmarks, and keyboard-accessible controls.

Add a useful meta description
-10 rule ptsWhat failed
The page does not expose a strong short summary for search and answer engines.
Evidence
Meta description is 29 characters.
Priority
Priority 3: fix before sharing the page publicly.
Why it matters
A missing description makes previews weaker when early users share or find the page.
How to fix it
Add a meta description around 50 to 170 characters that says who the product helps and what outcome it creates.
