The rules of the road, and how we kept them
The question
The rules of the road: what sites ask of automated readers, how well each request is heeded, and how well Lighthouse heeded them on 8 November 2026
What the record says
The record catalogues twenty automated-reader mechanisms and finds published compliance measurements disagree and count different things. Its one-evening Lighthouse audit found 113 breaches under the fixed brief, plus 59 under a single post hoc identification class, for 172 among 3,497 recorded requests.
