Unremoved builder attribution
This site still carries AI builder attribution.
Why it matters
This site still carries AI builder attribution. Visitors read it as "this was assembled from a template and never finished", which costs credibility on exactly the pages where you are asking someone to trust you with money or data. If the credit is intentional, dismiss this finding — it is a choice, not a defect.
How ShipReady detects it
Six page-readable Content & UX rules. Genuinely per-page: a polished homepage routinely hides a /pricing that still shows `{{plan_name}}` and a /terms governed by the laws of `[Your State]`. Reads only already-fetched HTML. Detection is uniform across all six: match a maintained pattern corpus against the page's READABLE TEXT — markup stripped, scripts stripped, and `<code>`/`<pre>`/`<kbd>`/`<samp>` stripped first — never against raw HTML. A minified bundle contains the very strings these rules look for, and a docs page legitimately displays them inside a code sample; matching source rather than prose would fire on both. Pages the crawler labelled Docs or Content are skipped entirely by the two artifact rules, because quoting an artifact is what those pages are for.
Detection is deterministic. ShipReady reports this only when it observes the condition directly, and prefers to miss a real problem over inventing one. Rule version 1.0.0.
How to fix it
This is the prompt ShipReady puts in your report — written to be pasted straight into Cursor, Claude Code, or whichever assistant built the app.
Your site still carries AI builder attribution — a badge, a link back to the builder, or a generator meta tag. If you want the credit, dismiss this finding; it is a choice, not a defect. To remove it: delete the badge element from your layout or footer component, remove any <a> linking to the builder's domain, and remove or replace <meta name="generator">. Some builders gate badge removal behind a paid plan or a project setting, so check your project settings first rather than fighting a component that regenerates. Also replace the builder's default favicon and any default social-share image while you are there — those are the same tell.
