Enforce HTTPS sitewide and ship a Strict-Transport-Security header with max-age ≥ 6 months
Why this matters: AI agents and payment flows refuse plain HTTP; weak HSTS is treated as effectively no HSTS by trust-and-safety scanners.
Findings (1)
Confirmed the homepage is HTTPS (status 200), probed http://francescas.com/ for redirect behaviour, and parsed the Strict-Transport-Security header (value: "max-age=300").
How: URL scheme + homepage status check, an http://host/ redirect probe through politeFetch, and a Strict-Transport-Security max-age parse (RFC 6797; ≥ 180-day threshold).
- HSTS max-age is below the 6-month minimumCRITICAL
/parsed max-age = 300s (need ≥ 15552000s = 180 days)
What we found
max-age=300What we expected
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomainsBump
max-ageto at least 15552000 (180 days). 31536000 (1 year) is required for preload-list inclusion.
Populate gtin on every branded Product node
Why this matters: GTINs let agents match your product to the same item elsewhere; without them you lose cross-catalog matching.
Findings (11)
Checked 20 sampled product pages for a GTIN in the Product JSON-LD (0 carry a valid GTIN, 0%).
How: Extract gtin / gtin8 / gtin12 / gtin13 / gtin14 from the first Product JSON-LD node on each PDP; validate digit length.

Make every MerchantReturnPolicy node satisfy Option A or Option B
Why this matters: A policy node missing both shapes is invisible to agents — they can't render it, link to it, or quote your return terms.
Findings (11)
Inspected 67 MerchantReturnPolicy nodes across 20 PDPs (0 satisfy Option A or B, 0%).
How: For each PDP, walk every hasMerchantReturnPolicy node (Product or Offer level) and require either (applicableCountry + returnPolicyCategory) OR a syntactically-valid merchantReturnLink URL.

Add every required top-level key to the UCP profile
Why this matters: A profile missing one of the four required keys is treated as non-conformant — agent runtimes fall back to default behaviour and may skip the merchant.
Findings (1)
Profile is missing required key(s): signing_keys.
How: Read the profile root (or top-level ucp wrapper) and verify the presence of version, services, capabilities, and signing_keys keys.
- Required top-level key
signing_keysis missingHIGHWhat we expected
Add a top-level "signing_keys" field to the JSON document (empty array/object is fine).Set
signing_keysat the root of the JSON document.
Populate the conditional fields required by each service's transport
Why this matters: A service declared with the right transport but missing endpoint/schema is unreachable — agents can't negotiate or connect.
Findings (1)
Validated 1 services with recognised transports (0 satisfy their transport's required fields).
How: For each services[] entry with a recognised transport, require the transport-conditional fields: rest/mcp → endpoint+schema; a2a → endpoint; embedded → schema.

Skipped — No MerchantReturnPolicy node used the MerchantReturnFiniteReturnWindow category, so the `merchantReturnDays` check has nothing to evaluate.
Context: AI agents quote your concrete return window in shopping cards. Without `merchantReturnDays`, your policy renders as 'has a return policy' without the headline number.
Why this was skipped
No MerchantReturnPolicy node used the MerchantReturnFiniteReturnWindow category, so the merchantReturnDays check has nothing to evaluate.
How: For each MerchantReturnPolicy node whose returnPolicyCategory normalizes to MerchantReturnFiniteReturnWindow, require merchantReturnDays to be a positive number (or a numeric string > 0).
Skipped — Profile declares no signing_keys; JWK validation has no entries to evaluate.
Context: Malformed JWK entries are rejected silently by agents — signed payloads cannot be verified and the merchant loses trust signal.
Why this was skipped
Profile declares no signing_keys; JWK validation has no entries to evaluate.
How: Walk signing_keys[] and validate each entry per RFC 7517 §4.1 (kty required) + RFC 7518 §6 (kty-specific required parameters). kid is OPTIONAL per RFC 7517 §4.5 and not enforced here.
Populate sku on every Product JSON-LD node
Why this matters: A stable SKU lets agents track and re-identify your product across catalogs.
Findings (11)
Read the sku field on Product JSON-LD across 20 sampled product pages (0 populated, 0%).
How: On each PDP with a Product node, accept sku if it is a non-empty trimmed string or a number.

Add includeSubDomains to your Strict-Transport-Security header
Why this matters: Without includeSubDomains, an HTTP subdomain (staging, mail, …) can be used to attack the apex's cookies.
Findings (1)
Inspected the homepage Strict-Transport-Security header ("max-age=300") and the includeSubDomains directive is absent.
How: Parse the homepage Strict-Transport-Security header for the includeSubDomains directive (RFC 6797 §6.1.2).

Use a valid Schema.org returnPolicyCategory enum value
Why this matters: An invalid category is silently dropped — your policy looks present in the source but never renders in Google's return-policy rich result.
Findings (11)
Validated returnPolicyCategory on 67 MerchantReturnPolicy nodes (0 valid Schema.org enum, 0%).
How: On each MerchantReturnPolicy node where returnPolicyCategory is set, accept the bare enum name or the schema.org URL form; reject any other string.

Skipped — No MerchantReturnPolicy node carried a `merchantReturnLink` URL, so reachability has nothing to evaluate.
Context: A broken return-link makes Option B policies invisible — agents can't render or follow the link.
Why this was skipped
No MerchantReturnPolicy node carried a merchantReturnLink URL, so reachability has nothing to evaluate.
How: Collect every unique merchantReturnLink URL across all MerchantReturnPolicy nodes; probe each once via politeFetch (failSoft). 2xx counts as reachable.
Skipped — No MerchantReturnPolicy node carried `applicableCountry`, so the ISO-code check has nothing to evaluate.
Context: A non-ISO country is dropped silently; the policy looks present but never reaches the merchant-listing rich result.
Why this was skipped
No MerchantReturnPolicy node carried applicableCountry, so the ISO-code check has nothing to evaluate.
How: On each MerchantReturnPolicy node where applicableCountry is set, extract every candidate string and require every one to match /^[A-Z]{2}$/i.
Skipped — Profile declares no capabilities; required-field checks have nothing to evaluate.
Context: Capabilities missing version/spec/schema can't be matched against agent support tables — agents skip them silently.
Why this was skipped
Profile declares no capabilities; required-field checks have nothing to evaluate.
How: For each capabilities[] entry, require non-empty string values for version, spec, and schema.
Skipped — No services declared a `spec` URL; origin matching has nothing to evaluate.
Context: A spec URL on an unrelated authority signals the service was copy-pasted from stale documentation — agents can't trust the conformance claim.
Why this was skipped
No services declared a spec URL; origin matching has nothing to evaluate.
How: For each service with a spec URL, require the URL origin to be a canonical UCP authority OR the host/path to include the namespace token.
Upload higher-resolution product images (area ≥ 50,000 pixels)
Why this matters: Tiny product images get dropped from Google’s shopping rich-result modules and are unhelpful to AI agents quoting your product visually.
Findings (11)
Inspected <img width=… height=…> attributes on 20 sampled product pages (0 have at least one image with area ≥ 50,000 px; dimensions absent from HTML are not HEAD-probed and count as indeterminate).
How: For every sampled PDP, parse <img> tags and read explicit width and height attributes; a PDP passes when at least one image has width × height ≥ 50,000. PDPs without any explicit-dimension <img> are marked indeterminate (this check does not HEAD image URLs).

Add preload to your Strict-Transport-Security header and submit to hstspreload.org
Why this matters: HSTS preload-list inclusion is the strongest downgrade protection available — first-time visits are protected too.
Findings (1)

Skipped — No OfferShippingDetails node carried `deliveryTime`, so the ShippingDeliveryTime check has nothing to evaluate.
Context: Without populated handling/transit times, agents can't quote a delivery window in shopping cards.
Why this was skipped
No OfferShippingDetails node carried deliveryTime, so the ShippingDeliveryTime check has nothing to evaluate.
How: On each OfferShippingDetails node where deliveryTime is set, require an object with at least one of handlingTime / transitTime populated as a QuantitativeValue.
Skipped — Walked services[] for `transport: "mcp"` entries; none advertised.
Context: If you advertise MCP transport, agents will try to connect — broken or non-HTTPS endpoints fail silently and lose the integration.
Why this was skipped
Walked services[] for transport: "mcp" entries; none advertised.
How: Filter services[] to entries where transport=mcp and validate that endpoint is an absolute https:// URL.
Enable Apple Pay through your payment processor (informational only)
Why this matters: Apple Pay is a checkout-quality signal for human shoppers — informational only, does not affect the agent-readiness score.
Findings (1)
Scanned the homepage and 20 sampled PDPs for Apple Pay markers; none matched.
How: Substring match on known Apple Pay SDK/markup signatures (ApplePaySession, apple-pay-button, /apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association) across the homepage and every sampled PDP HTML.
- No Apple Pay markers detected on the homepage or PDPsINFO

Why this matters: Google Pay is a checkout-quality signal for human shoppers — informational only, does not affect the agent-readiness score.
Findings (1)
Scanned the homepage and 20 sampled PDPs for Google Pay markers; none matched.
How: Substring match on known Google Pay SDK/markup signatures (pay.google.com/gp/p/js/pay.js, google.payments.api, <google-pay-button) across the homepage and every sampled PDP HTML.
- No Google Pay markers detected on the homepage or PDPsINFO
Enable Google Pay in your payment processor's dashboard (Stripe / Adyen / Braintree). Informational only — does not affect the score.
Skipped — Looked for /llms.txt at the site root; the fetcher returned no file.
Context: An /llms.txt manifest points agents at your feed and key pages without them having to guess.
Why this was skipped
Looked for /llms.txt at the site root; the fetcher returned no file.
How: Check whether the fetcher reached an /llms.txt at the site root. Informational only — no failure path per llmstxt.org being a voluntary community convention.
