Doesn't stay fixed by itself. Monitoring isn't built yet — join the list and we'll tell you when it is.
You're on the list! We'll notify you when it launches.
What we measured Main content starts at 66% of HTML
The main content appears late in the HTML document. AI agents may give more weight to content that appears early.
How to implement
Restructure your HTML so that <main> or <article> content appears before sidebars and supplementary content.
What we measured No Markdown for Agents support detected
Your site doesn't support Markdown for Agents. This Cloudflare standard lets AI agents request content in markdown format, reducing token usage by ~80%.
How to implement
Implement one or more: (1) Respond to Accept: text/markdown with markdown content. (2) Serve .md URLs (e.g., /page.md). (3) Add <link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown"> tags. (4) Add Link HTTP headers for markdown discovery.
What we measured Content ratio: 3.4% (4224 content chars / 123100 HTML bytes)
Your page has a low ratio of actual content to total HTML. Much of the page weight is markup, scripts, or styles rather than content.
How to implement
Move CSS to external stylesheets, remove inline styles, minimize JavaScript, and ensure the HTML focuses on content structure.
What we measured No Content-Signal found (robots.txt or HTTP headers)
No Content-Signal directives found. These tell AI agents how they may use your content (search indexing, AI input, training data). The recommended location is robots.txt.
How to implement
Add Content-Signal to your robots.txt: User-agent: *\nContent-Signal: search=yes, ai-input=yes, ai-train=no. You can also add it as an HTTP header on markdown responses.
What we measured 15/569 elements with inline styles (2.6%)
Many elements have inline style attributes. These add noise for AI agents extracting content.
How to implement
Move all inline styles to CSS classes in your stylesheet. Use utility CSS frameworks like Tailwind if you need many unique styles.

## Read MBOX files on Mac & Windows.

macOS 14+ · Apple Silicon · Windows 10/11 and Windows Server
No Electron No Java No cloud 100% offline Read-only
## Built for one job, done right
- 01
### Your Gmail, offline on your computer
Use Google Takeout to back up your entire Gmail account, then read, search and browse it offline — no internet required, no account login.
- 02
### Other tools choke on large files
Most MBOX readers crash or freeze past a few hundred MB. Many ship a whole browser or JVM just to show a list of emails.
- 03
### Native, streaming, instant
Mbox Viewer streams through files of any size without loading them into memory. Truly native on Mac and Windows. Indexes once, re-opens in under a second.
## Everything you need to live inside your email archive
A focused, native toolset — not a web app in a window.
### Handles any size
Streaming parser with a 1 MB buffer opens files from a few KB to 50+ GB without loading them into RAM.
### Instant re-opens
A binary index with SHA-256 validation makes every re-open take under a second, whatever the file size.
### Powerful search
Full query syntax: from:, to:, subject:, body:, date:, has:attachment, size:>, OR, negation and exact phrases.
### Gmail labels
Reads Gmail labels straight from Takeout. Browse by label in the sidebar with live message counts.
### Full export
Export to EML, CSV, plain text or extract every attachment. Merge multiple MBOX files with dedup.
### Conversation threads
The JWZ threading algorithm groups messages into conversations with reply chains up to four levels deep.
### Privacy first
Everything runs locally. No cloud, no telemetry, no data ever leaves your computer. Strictly read-only.
### Truly native
Native on Mac and Windows — dark mode, drag & drop, system share and print. No Electron, no Java.
### Repair damaged mailboxes
Deep-scan recovery re-detects lost message boundaries and exports a repaired copy — the original file is never modified. (Pro)
### Export to PDF
Export any message to a self-contained, multi-page PDF with the same layout as printing. One message is free; batch export is Pro.
### Export to HTML
Save any message as a self-contained HTML file with images embedded and attachments as downloadable links — it opens anywhere. One message is free; batch is Pro.
### Properties, MIME & Hex views
Three new ways to inspect a message: a Properties panel, the MIME part tree and a raw hex dump — ideal for technical or forensic work.

## Works with your email client
Mbox Viewer reads the standard mbox format — the same format virtually every email client and service uses for exports and backups. If your app can export mbox, Mbox Viewer can open it. No import, no conversion, no account: just open the file.

Many ship a whole browser or JVM just to show a list of emails.\n\n- 03\n\n ### Native, streaming, instant\n\n Mbox Viewer streams through files of any size without loading them into memory. Truly native on Mac and Windows. Indexes once, re-opens in under a second.\n\n## Everything you need to live inside your email archive\n\nA focused, native toolset — not a web app in a window.\n\n### Handles any size\n\nStreaming parser with a 1 MB buffer opens files from a few KB to 50+ GB without loading them into RAM.\n\n### Instant re-opens\n\nA binary index with SHA-256 validation makes every re-open take under a second, whatever the file size.\n\n### Powerful search\n\nFull query syntax: from:, to:, subject:, body:, date:, has:attachment, size:>, OR, negation and exact phrases.\n\n### Gmail labels\n\nReads Gmail labels straight from Takeout. Browse by label in the sidebar with live message counts.\n\n### Full export\n\nExport to EML, CSV, plain text or extract every attachment. Merge multiple MBOX files with dedup.\n\n### Conversation threads\n\nThe JWZ threading algorithm groups messages into conversations with reply chains up to four levels deep.\n\n### Privacy first\n\nEverything runs locally. No cloud, no telemetry, no data ever leaves your computer. Strictly read-only.\n\n### Truly native\n\nNative on Mac and Windows — dark mode, drag & drop, system share and print. No Electron, no Java.\n\n### Repair damaged mailboxes\n\nDeep-scan recovery re-detects lost message boundaries and exports a repaired copy — the original file is never modified. (Pro)\n\n### Export to PDF\n\nExport any message to a self-contained, multi-page PDF with the same layout as printing. One message is free; batch export is Pro.\n\n### Export to HTML\n\nSave any message as a self-contained HTML file with images embedded and attachments as downloadable links — it opens anywhere. One message is free; batch is Pro.\n\n### Properties, MIME & Hex views\n\nThree new ways to inspect a message: a Properties panel, the MIME part tree and a raw hex dump — ideal for technical or forensic work.\n\n[See all features](https://mboxviewer.net/features/)\n\n## Works with your email client\n\nMbox Viewer reads the standard mbox format — the same format virtually every email client and service uses for exports and backups. If your app can export mbox, Mbox Viewer can open it.

This JSON is for internal use — unlike the Markdown and llms.txt files, it's not meant to be uploaded to your site. Save it as a baseline to track your score over time, share it with your dev team, or integrate it into your CI/CD pipeline.

Want a second opinion?
Cloudflare runs a free scanner too, and it asks a different question. It scores what your site publishes for agents to call — MCP server cards, Agent Skills, API catalogs, DNS records. We score whether an agent can reach, read and understand your content. A site can do well on one and poorly on the other, so expect two different numbers: they are answers to two different questions, and both are worth knowing.
