What we observe
We look for a link on the home page, and among the pages we read, whose address names a checkout, a cart or a basket, and record whether it loaded. It only applies to a site that sells online.
Why it is here: the evidence
Fact only No platform document and no independent study says it matters. We record it because it is true of the site, so it is never offered as advice about AI.
Source: No AI vendor documents which pages an automated visitor looks for; recorded as a fact. Source grade C: nothing published shows that AI systems use it.
Last re-checked ; due again within 30 days.
What we cannot see
Whether a purchase goes through. We never buy anything.
Why there is no advice here
Recorded as a fact; no platform documents that it matters to AI systems, so this page gives no advice about it.

- Level
- One of the checks of Level 2: Is what it reads about your business the same everywhere, and can it find where to act?
- How common it is
- Not published yet. We publish a share only once at least 30 sites stand behind it.
