Most important issue

Rendered page headings are missing from Fetch's extraction

Recommended first action

Ensure these sections exist in the initial HTML (server-render or pre-render) rather than being injected client-side.

These results describe sampled retrieval evidence from 1 search request(s) and 1 fetch request(s) at one point in time. They are not guaranteed universal AI rankings.

Observed rows report something a tool returned. Inferred rows are conclusions drawn from absence and may need confirmation. “Not checked” means no evidence was collected, never that it passed.

1. F-001 Rendered page headings are missing from Fetch's extractionSeverity: HighConfidence: ●●● high confidence

   Deterministic checkConfirmed by evidenceextraction

   What the evidence shows

   The TinyFish Browser rendered 3 headings that do not appear in the Fetch text, for example "Customer reviews (248)".

   Evidence excerpt

   Customer reviews (248) | Size & fit | Shipping and returnsfrom ev_browser_1

   Why it may matter

   Content that a browser shows but an extractor does not see is effectively invisible to pipelines that rely on extraction.

   Recommended fix

   Ensure these sections exist in the initial HTML (server-render or pre-render) rather than being injected client-side.

   Expected outcome (no guarantee)

   Fetch should extract these sections on a re-run.

   How to verify

   Re-run the audit; the missing-headings list should be empty.

2. F-002 The extracted page says 'Unisex sizing' while the rendered page lists women's sizesSeverity: HighConfidence: ●●● high confidence

   AI-interpretedObservedmessaging

   What the evidence shows

   Fetch extracted the line 'Unisex sizing', but the browser-rendered page says it offers women's sizes 5 to 12. A retrieval tool relying on extraction would not associate this product with women's boots.

   Evidence excerpts

   Unisex sizingfrom ev_fetch_1

   women's sizes 5 to 12 and men's sizes 7 to 14from ev_browser_1

   Why it may matter

   The target query is for women's boots. The only audience statement an extractor can read points the other way.

   Recommended fix

   State the women's and men's size ranges in server-rendered copy near the product title.

   Suggested replacement copy or code

   <p>Available in women's sizes 5–12 and men's sizes 7–14. Waterproof Gore-Tex lining.</p>

   Expected outcome (no guarantee)

   The audience and size range become extractable. This does not guarantee any ranking.

   How to verify

   Re-run the audit and confirm the sentence appears in the Fetch text.

3. F-003 robots.txt contains Disallow rules for AI crawlers (GPTBot)Severity: MediumConfidence: ●●● high confidence

   Deterministic checkObservedaccess

   What the evidence shows

   robots.txt has user-agent-specific groups that disallow this path for the crawlers listed. Other crawlers may be unaffected.

   No verbatim excerpt is attached to this finding.

   Why it may matter

   If you want these assistants to be able to retrieve the page, these rules work against that. If it is deliberate, no action is needed.

   Recommended fix

   Confirm the rules are intentional; remove them for the crawlers you want to allow.

   Expected outcome (no guarantee)

   Named crawlers that honour robots.txt would be permitted to fetch the page.

   How to verify

   Re-fetch /robots.txt.

4. F-004 Very little text was extracted from the pageSeverity: MediumConfidence: ●●● high confidence

   Deterministic checkObservedextraction

   What the evidence shows

   16 words extracted. Very little text was extracted; the page may be thin or rendered client-side.

   Evidence excerpt

   16 words extracted.from ev_fetch_1

   Why it may matter

   Thin extracted text gives retrieval tools little to summarise or cite.

   Recommended fix

   Add substantive, server-rendered copy covering what the page offers, pricing/specs and FAQs where relevant.

   Expected outcome (no guarantee)

   More material available for extraction and quoting.

   How to verify

   Re-run the audit.

   Evidence: ev_fetch_1 · Section: Technical checks

5. F-005 Meta description missing or outside typical lengthSeverity: MediumConfidence: ●●○ medium confidence

   Deterministic checkObservedmetadata

   What the evidence shows

   Fetch reported no meta description for this page. Fetch returns the description it detected; confirm in the page source.

   Evidence excerpt

   Fetch reported no meta description for this page.from ev_fetch_1

   Why it may matter

   Descriptions often seed the search snippet and give extractors a concise summary.

   Recommended fix

   Write a 120–160 character description that states what the page offers and for whom.

   Suggested replacement copy or code

   <meta name="description" content="What this page offers, for whom, and the key differentiator.">

   Expected outcome (no guarantee)

   A controllable summary is available to snippet generators; they may still choose other text.

   How to verify

   Re-run the audit.

   Evidence: ev_fetch_1 · Section: Technical checks

6. F-006 Not found in checked results for "waterproof hiking boots women"Severity: MediumConfidence: ●○○ low confidence

   Deterministic checkObserveddiscovery

   What the evidence shows

   The target URL did not appear in the 6 result(s) TinyFish Search returned for this query (page 0). This is a limited sample from one search source, not proof the page is unindexed.

   Evidence excerpts

   #1 Women's waterproof hiking boots | Summit & Co — https://summitco.example/womens-waterproof-hiking-bootsfrom ev_search_1

   #2 Best women's waterproof hiking boots of 2026 — https://gearjournal.example/best-womens-hiking-bootsfrom ev_search_1

   #3 Women's Cascade waterproof hiking boot — https://alpinemade.example/products/cascade-womensfrom ev_search_1

   Why it may matter

   If the page is not surfaced for the query it targets, searchers and retrieval tools using similar results are less likely to reach it.

   Recommended fix

   Compare the page's title, H1 and opening copy with the pages that do appear, and state the query's core terms explicitly.

   Expected outcome (no guarantee)

   Clearer query alignment can improve relevance signals; results depend on many factors outside this audit.

   How to verify

   Re-run the same query later and with variations; check Search Console for real indexing data.

• Search is one request to TinyFish Search per query (one page of results). Position means order in that response, not a Google, Bing or universal AI ranking. A page missing from the sample is “Not found in checked results”, which does not mean “not indexed”.
• Fetch returns extracted Markdown plus metadata and links. HTTP status, response headers, JSON-LD and exact markup are not returned, so Sniffsite never infers them from text. TinyFish may serve a cached copy even when a live fetch is requested.
• Browser runs only with a concrete verification objective or when you enable it. It is one session from TinyFish’s network and may differ from what other visitors see.
• robots.txt and sitemap are read directly by Sniffsite from the public site. Directives are declared preferences; compliance depends on each crawler.
• Deterministic checks are computed only from observed data. AI-interpreted findings are produced by a language model from the collected evidence, validated against a schema, and any excerpt that is not verbatim in the cited evidence is discarded.
• Broken links are not tested. A successful Fetch does not prove a page is indexable or readable by every AI tool.
• Semantic analysis: used. API calls made: search 1, fetch 1, browser 1, Gemini 1.
