Login, paywall and cookie wall detector
Group B4 pointsrubric r1
We load the homepage and up to two internal pages and look for HTTP 401 or 402, a short page built around a password field, paywall text, and cookie or consent wall markers.
Why it matters
An agent cannot sign in, pay, or click "accept all" to continue. A page behind any of these gives it a form instead of an answer. No walls on all pages scores 4, one wall scores 2, more than one scores 0.
How to fix it
- Serve public marketing and documentation pages without login, and return
200. - Show cookie notices as a dismissible banner; do not block the page body behind a consent wall.
- Remove paywall wording and
isAccessibleForFree: falsemarkup from pages that are free. - Keep gated content on separate URLs so the public pages stay readable.
How to verify
Run curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://example.com/ for each key page and expect 200 with real text in the body.
