/sitemap.md markdown site map

What the scanner requests

• /sitemap.md

What is measured

The scanner fetches https://<domain>/sitemap.md (the exact path this check probes) and parses it as markdown. Pass = 200 markdown whose body is an H1 plus markdown links to the site's key pages written as absolute URLs. Partial = markdown is served but the links are relative, are not a list, or cover only a couple of top-level pages. Fail = 404, or an HTML document returned for the path.

Reproduce it yourself

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

              DOMAIN=example.com
curl -sS "https://$DOMAIN/sitemap.md" | head -30
            

The fix

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