Discoverability
Subdomain sweepsubdomain-sweepBoth an API-family and a docs-family subdomain are live (api.n8n.io, docs.n8n.io).Useful
sitemap.xmlsitemap-xmlhttps://n8n.io/sitemap_index.xml is a valid sitemap (12 location(s)), but without lastmod or non-homepage URLs.Parseable
robots.txtrobots-txtrobots.txt at https://n8n.io/robots.txt declares a sitemap. Declared sitemap https://n8n.io/sitemap_index.xml resolves as valid XML.Cross-verified
Canonical domaincanonical-domainRoot and www converge on n8n.io, with a matching canonical tag.Cross-verified
API existenceapi-existenceA real API surface is declared at https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3/openapi.json: the spec lists servers and paths. (source: spec)Parseable
API catalogapi-catalogNo RFC 9727 API Catalog found at /.well-known/api-catalog.Not detected
API versioningapi-versioningAPI versioning is documented at https://gitbook.com/docs/create-content/version-control (the versioning scheme). To reach the top level, it would need a documented deprecation/sunset lifecycle. (source: docs)Useful
Content Accessibility
Markdown twinmarkdown-twinA markdown twin is published at https://docs.n8n.io/index.md alongside the docs HTML surface (https://docs.n8n.io/).Parseable
llms.txtllms-txtAn llms.txt index is published at https://n8n.io/llms.txt with 4 links under 1 section(s). To reach the top level, it would need a fuller index (more links across multiple sections) or an llms-full.txt.Useful
Freshness signalsfreshness-signalsNo freshness signals found (no Last-Modified, ETag, or sitemap lastmod).Not detected
Crawl-cost estimatecrawl-cost-estimateInformational — not scoredSitemap index declares 12 child sitemap(s) — crawl cost is not directly observable from the index alone.Parseable
