What It Does

Check BIMI DNS/file readiness and public signals for inbox-branding eligibility.

Check BIMI DNS/file readiness and public signals for inbox-branding eligibility. Use it to find crawlability, indexability, security, metadata, and page-quality issues with evidence-backed rows and audit reports.

What It Does Not Do

• It does not bypass authentication, access private systems, or perform invasive security testing.
• It does not make unbounded crawls or unbounded external requests.
• It does not replace a full compliance, legal, or security assessment.
• It does not publish itself or change live Apify Store settings; release actions stay behind the repository scheduler and cloud replay gates.
