Agent readiness check

Agents can ask for the page as Markdown

A request with Accept: text/markdown receives the page as Markdown (Content-Type: text/markdown), while browsers still get HTML.

Runs just this check in quick mode. The report opens with the evidence and the fix.

Why it matters

Markdown carries the content without the navigation, scripts and styling, often in a tenth of the tokens. Agents that ask for it read the page faster, cheaper and with fewer mistakes.

How to fix it

Serve Markdown when the Accept header prefers text/markdown, and keep HTML the default. On Cloudflare, turn on Markdown for Agents for the zone; elsewhere, convert the main content in your server or framework.
