What is measured

The scanner reads the <title> text and the content of <meta name="description"> in the homepage / HTML and measures their length. Pass when the title is 50-60 characters and the description 120-160 characters, both non-empty; partial when both are present but one or both fall outside that window (too short to be informative, or long enough to be truncated), or when only one of the two exists; fail when the page has neither a title nor a description.

Reproduce it yourself

You do not have to take our word for any of this. Run the same measurement against your own domain:

              DOMAIN="https://example.com"
curl -sL "$DOMAIN/" | perl -0777 -ne 'm{<title[^>]*>(.*?)</title>}si and do { my $t=$1; $t=~s/\s+/ /g; print "title(", length($t), "): $t\n" }; m{<meta[^>]*\bname=["\x27]?description["\x27]?[^>]*>}i and print "description: ", $&, "\n"'
            

The fix

This is the artifact to ship. It is the complete change, not a description of one.

              <head>
  <meta charset="utf-8" />
  <title>Agent readiness audit for e-commerce teams | Acme Inc</title>
  <meta
    name="description"
    content="Acme audits how well your store serves AI agents: 61 checks across discovery, content, bot access and commerce, each one paired with a copy-pasteable fix."
  />
