Missing Security Headers 2 Missing Missing: X-Frame-Options, Permissions-Policy. Recommended to deploy Content-Security-Policy and Permissions-Policy.
4. AI Agent & LLM Discoverability Audit (/llms.txt) Unindexed (Missing /llms.txt)

Readiness for autonomous AI search agents (ChatGPT Search, Perplexity Pro, Claude Artifacts, and WebMCP shopping agents).

Status: deepl.com currently lacks a /llms.txt specification. As enterprise buyers and consumers shift query volume to LLM engines, unindexed catalogs face lower citation rates and inaccurate hallucinated summaries.
