Web Bot Auth
crawler-side request signing — no site-side marker exists to probe
Why it is checked
Web Bot Auth lets crawlers cryptographically sign their requests. The keys live on the CRAWLER's domain — a target site publishes nothing to probe, so this row documents the limit instead of guessing.
How it counts
Never scored. Agent capabilities are optional: "not found" is neutral and does not affect your base score.
How results read
The wording below is exactly what a report shows for each result.
- Passed
In this check, the probe met this item's verification conditions — the capability is published with a valid declaration on the pages we checked. No action needed.
- Declared · incomplete
In this check, we found a declaration for this capability, but it is incomplete or not fully verifiable. See the suggested steps to complete it.
- Not found · optional
Within this check's probe range, we did not find this capability published. It is an optional capability: adding it depends on your site's purpose and it never affects your base score. Optional capability — whether to add it depends on your site's purpose; it does not affect your base score.
- Couldn't verify
Web Bot Auth signs crawler requests; key directories live on the crawler's own domain and target sites publish no marker, so no site scan can verify support. Absence here is not a defect.
How to fix it
Fix steps depend on what the check actually finds on your site, so they appear in your report next to this item, together with the evidence. Rule templates only — no AI model writes them.
