# WebsiteIQ

> WebsiteIQ turns publicly observable website behavior into a bounded, reproducible audit for owners, agencies, and software agents. Core scoring is deterministic and LLM-free. Heuristics are versioned and labeled.

## Human documentation

- [Methodology 1.2](https://websiteiq.xyz/methodology/): observations, derivations, heuristics, and uncertainty.
- [WebsiteIQBot policy](https://websiteiq.xyz/crawler/): identity and robots-first crawl contract.
- [White-label reports](https://websiteiq.xyz/white-label-reports/): agency delivery.
- [x402 status](https://websiteiq.xyz/x402/): planned paid-agent access; production settlement is not live.
- [Synthetic report sample](https://websiteiq.xyz/sample-report/): intentionally fictional public example.
- [Privacy notice](https://websiteiq.xyz/privacy/): collection, use, no-sale statement, retention, and rights.

## Machine interfaces

- OpenAPI description: https://websiteiq.xyz/api/openapi.json
- RFC 9727 API catalog: https://websiteiq.xyz/.well-known/api-catalog
- RFC 8288 discovery: the homepage response advertises the API catalog with the registered `api-catalog` Link relation.
- Public audit-check catalog: https://websiteiq.xyz/api/checks/catalog
- OKF entry: https://websiteiq.xyz/okf/
- OKF manifest: https://websiteiq.xyz/okf/manifest.json

The guarded MCP endpoint is advertised through the API catalog and OKF agent instructions rather than placed in the crawl corpus.

## Important limits

- WebsiteIQBot obeys robots.txt, stays on the submitted host, rejects private targets, and stops on HTTP 402.
- Free browser, API, and MCP access: one comprehensive single-page audit per connection per 24 hours.
- The new beta sample requires a valid requester email and explicit audit-processing consent.
- A new paid cost structure will be published for API and MCP clients when production x402 settlement goes live; the normal website has no paid checkout path.
- `POST /api/estimate` counts a bounded robots-permitted sitemap tree and reports scope only. It does not publish a current price, collect payment, or execute queued batches.
- Real reports use unlisted token-bearing links, are noindex/no-store, are retained until deletion is requested, and are deliberately absent from public discovery.
- E-E-A-T and YMYL outputs are WebsiteIQ heuristics, not Google scores or ranking predictions.
- x402 settlement and queued batch execution are disabled; no WebsiteIQ endpoint currently requests or accepts payment.
