RSS and Atom feed discovery

Feeds help subscribers and aggregators track updates. When a feed exists on your origin but the homepage does not declare <link rel="alternate"> for RSS or Atom, discovery is harder. We may flag that mismatch when our probes confirm a feed while the homepage lacks the declaration (per product rules).

What we look for

We probe common feed paths and compare results with homepage <head> link tags. Sites with no detectable feed do not receive this suggestion.

What to do

Add a proper alternate link in the homepage head pointing at your canonical feed URL. Ensure the feed responds reliably over HTTPS.
