Scan history

AI fix plan

Pick scans from this browser's history. The AI compares them, explains what changed and builds a prioritized, step-by-step plan.

Scans to analyze

0 of 6 selected

The current scan is always included.

AI-generated from your scan results only. Review each step before applying it; nothing is sent to or changed on the domain.

Agent access & discovery signals

Optional and unscored — it never changes the grade. Reads up to three public files from this site (robots.txt, llms.txt and /.well-known/security.txt) and reuses the homepage headers already fetched. llms.txt is an emerging proposal, not an official standard. It is informational and does not affect the grade.
