Markdown availability1 passed1 failed
Server returns Markdown when asked
Server ignores Accept: text/markdown header (0/15 sampled pages return markdown)
Your server ignores Accept: text/markdown and returns HTML. Some agents (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode) request markdown this way. Configure your server to honor content negotiation.
Check your fix:
curl -sI -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://developer.globalpayments.com/api/access-tokenreturnscontent-type: text/markdown.Pages are available as Markdown
15/15 sampled pages support .md URLs (100%)
Page size and truncation3 passed1 failed
Markdown pages fit in context

Content structure2 passed1 failed
Code blocks are well-formed
2 unclosed code fences found across 16 pages
2 pages have unclosed code fences. Everything after an unclosed fence is interpreted as code, causing agents to misread documentation as literal content. Ensure every opening ``` or ~~~ has a matching closing delimiter.

No tabbed content detected across 15 sampled pages
Headings inside tabs name their variant
No tabbed content found; header quality check not applicable
URL stability2 passed

No redirects detected across 15 sampled pages
Content health1 passed1 failed
Cache headers allow timely updates
1 of 16 endpoints have aggressive caching or missing cache headers
1 endpoints have aggressive caching (>24h) or missing cache headers. Set max-age under 3600 or add must-revalidate with ETag/Last-Modified so content updates reach agents promptly.
llms.txt covers the whole site
No sitemap found; cannot assess llms.txt coverage without a sitemap as ground truth
Markdown matches the HTML page
All 15 pages have equivalent markdown and HTML content (avg 0% missing)
Authentication and access1 passed
Gated docs offer another way in
All docs pages are publicly accessible; no alternative access paths needed

All 15 sampled pages are publicly accessible
Crawler access1 passed1 failed
Sitemap lists the docs pages
The sitemap at https://developer.globalpayments.com/sitemap.xml lists 0 of the 168 docs pages found through llms.txt and page links.
Generate the sitemap from the same source as the docs, so every page is listed. Agents and crawlers use it to find pages that navigation does not link.
Check your fix:
curl -s https://developer.globalpayments.com/robots.txt | grep -i sitemapnames a sitemap, and that sitemap lists the pages the report names as missing.Crawlers and AI assistants may read the docs
robots.txt lets Googlebot, Bingbot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot and Claude-User read the docs.
Freshness
Maintenance1 passed1 failed
Pages say when they were last changed
0 of 15 sampled pages state when they were last changed.
Publish a last-modified date on every page: as article:modified_time or dateModified in the page, a visible "Last updated" line, or a Last-Modified header. Agents can then tell how current a page is; the date itself is not judged.
Check your fix:
curl -sI https://developer.globalpayments.com/api/access-token | grep -i last-modifiedreturns a date, or the page carriesarticle:modified_timeor a visible "Last updated" line.Sitemap entries still exist
No sitemap entries for these docs to check.
Links and section anchors work
All 33 links checked on the sampled pages work. 5 more could not be verified (timeouts or blocked requests) and are not counted.
Consistency with the API specNot applicable
Endpoints in the docs exist in the API spec
No OpenAPI description was found, so the docs could not be compared with a spec.
CurrencyNot applicable
Deprecated operations are marked as such
No OpenAPI description was found, so deprecation notices could not be compared with a spec.
Additional checks
Not part of the score: optional extras that help agents use your docs.
MCP server is discoverable
No MCP server was found for these docs.
Offer a read-only MCP server with a search tool over your docs, and link it from llms.txt, so agents in Cursor, Claude and ChatGPT can query your docs directly.
llms-full.txt is available
llms-full.txt found at https://developer.globalpayments.com/llms-full.txt (7,678,620 characters).
Agent skills are published
No agent skills index was found at /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json.
Publish an Agent Skills index at /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json with a SKILL.md for your main tasks, so agents can load task instructions without reading every page.
