Where the points go
Each pillar is scored 0 to 100 by fixed rules and weighted into the total. How scoring works
What we found
What we would change first
- CriticalCitability-90 pts
0 citable facts found in the raw HTML. LLMs cannot cite what isn't in the source.
0 numbers, prices, dates, measurements or certifications detected in the raw text
- CriticalVisibility-80 pts
100% of the rendered page text is absent from the raw HTML that AI crawlers receive (676 rendered words vs 0 raw words). Content that requires JavaScript rendering is at high risk of being missed, truncated, or dropped by crawlers, and always costs more to process.
676 words rendered vs 0 words in the raw HTML, 100% only exists after JavaScript
- CriticalActionability-60 pts
319 of 319 unique rendered links have no equivalent href in the raw HTML, they only become followable after JavaScript rendering, so crawlers that skip it will miss them.

How this report was made
One automated scan of https://open.spotify.com/ on 3 October 2026, with the same engine (v0.3.0) as the free Siteiz scan. We fetched the page twice: as raw HTML, the way AI crawlers receive it, and rendered in a real browser, the way people see it. Scores are deterministic rules, not an AI opinion. Sites change, so this is a snapshot of that day. Methodology
