The Website Specification

A platform-agnostic specification of the technical features every decent website should have — from <title> to /.well-known/security.txt , from WCAG contrast to llms.txt . Written for humans and agents.

Ten areas, mapped to widely-accepted standards.

The HTML, head, and document basics every page needs.

Search visibility — robots.txt, sitemaps, canonicals, structured data.

WCAG-aligned rules so people of all abilities can use the site.

Headers, transport, and policies that keep visitors safe.
