Each page tells you: * What the metric covers (in plain English) * Why it matters for trust, enquiries, and Google visibility * The types of checks we run (tier dependent) * What “good” looks like * Common issues, plus the usual fixes If you just want to action your report quickly, start with **Top priorities**. If you want to understand a result in more depth, use this library to decode it. **Core areas:** * Security * Performance * Links * SEO * Accessibility * Usability --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://sitescanly.gitbook.io/sitescanly/metrics.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
