Summary

Improve discoverability and machine-readability of the SCHA public site (base2.html templates and related pages). Baseline current state with Lighthouse, then implement SEO and agentic browsing recommendations.

Tasks

  • Run Lighthouse report on key public pages (Home, About Us, Calendar, Dues, Membership, Board, Useful Links)
    • Run standard SEO, Performance, and Accessibility audits
    • Enable the experimental Agentic browsing category (Chrome Canary: DevTools → Lighthouse → check "Agentic browsing")
    • Export/save report results and capture actionable recommendations as follow-up subtasks
  • Implement Lighthouse SEO recommendations
    • Page titles and meta descriptions per page
    • Semantic HTML structure (<main>, headings hierarchy, alt text on images)
    • robots.txt and sitemap.xml
    • Open Graph / social meta tags
    • Canonical URLs where needed
  • Agentic browsing updates
    • Fix accessibility tree issues flagged by Lighthouse (labels, landmarks, ARIA)
    • Improve layout stability (CLS) so agents can interact reliably
    • Add llms.txt at site root with concise site summary and navigation guidance for AI agents
    • Evaluate WebMCP applicability for transactional flows (membership form, dues payment) — implement only if audit flags and scope is justified

Acceptance criteria

  • Lighthouse SEO score improved on all audited public pages
  • Agentic browsing audit pass ratio documented before/after
  • llms.txt published and linked from site root
  • No regressions to existing public page functionality

Notes

Current templates have minimal SEO metadata (charset + viewport only in base2.html). Agentic browsing checks are experimental but align with accessibility and structural improvements that benefit humans and AI agents alike.
