Markdown availability1 passed1 partly
Server returns Markdown when asked
Content negotiation partially supported: 0 correct type, 15 wrong type, 0 HTML only
Your server returns markdown content for Accept: text/markdown requests but with an incorrect Content-Type header. Set the response Content-Type to text/markdown for proper agent handling.
Check your fix:
curl -sI -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://developer.upgrade.com/apidocs/authorization-1returnscontent-type: text/markdown.Pages are available as Markdown
15/15 sampled pages support .md URLs (100%)

Markdown matches the HTML page
1 of 15 pages have substantive content differences between markdown and HTML (avg 5% missing)
1 pages have substantive content differences between markdown and HTML (avg 5% missing). If unintentional, agents are getting outdated content; regenerate markdown from source or fix the build pipeline.
llms.txt covers the whole site
llms.txt covers 68/74 sitemap doc pages (92%); 6 missing; 34 llms.txt links not in sitemap (may indicate stale links or incomplete sitemap)
Your llms.txt covers 92% of your site's pages (80-95% is warn). 6 live pages are not represented in the index.

All 17 endpoints have appropriate cache headers
Authentication and access1 passed

Crawler access1 passed1 partly
Sitemap lists the docs pages
The sitemap at https://developer.upgrade.com/sitemap_index.xml lists 73 of the 116 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.upgrade.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 passed2 failed
Pages say when they were last changed
0 of 15 sampled pages state when they were last changed, and 9 more have a date only in the sitemap.
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.upgrade.com/apidocs/authorization-1 | grep -i last-modifiedreturns a date, or the page carriesarticle:modified_timeor a visible "Last updated" line.Links and section anchors work
1 of 19 references checked on the sampled pages are broken: 0 links and 1 section anchor.
Fix or remove the broken links, redirect moved pages to their new address, and restore or retarget section anchors. Agents follow links to gather context, and a dead link ends that path.
Check your fix: Every link on https://developer.upgrade.com/v1/docs/payment-status#uplift-agent-connect (no such section) linked from https://developer.upgrade.com/docs/step-3-define-callback-handler returns 200, and every
#sectionlink points at an element with that id.Sitemap entries still exist
All 10 sitemap entries sampled still exist.
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
No llms-full.txt found at https://developer.upgrade.com/llms-full.txt.
Publish /llms-full.txt with the full text of your docs in Markdown, so an agent can load everything in one request instead of crawling page by page.
Check your fix:
curl -sI https://developer.upgrade.com/llms-full.txtreturns 200.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.
