Hello, this is Luke with ScanGov, and welcome back to a new edition of Now Scanning. Today I'm going to scan Proudly Serving.
Proudly Serving is a book that is freely available in multiple platforms and versions, and also available in print for $11. Proudly Serving was collaboratively rewritten by about 25 amazing people, and there are many chapters related to how we can better serve the people, and that includes public servants, vendors, and the general public. The website is located at proudlyservingbook.com.
You can see I did the scan, and overall we're doing really well. We got A's on everything. It looks like there are a couple of issues in the task list and the broken links. There are a couple of broken links.
In the task list, I'm going to look at what's going on here. You can see there are some readability issues, which for this purpose we will discount, because what we have for readability set for ScanGov is a little bit different from what we have for readability in the Proudly Serving book. You can see that there are some performance issues, some accessibility issues, some console issues, and just a couple of other issues that are related to Open Graph. Some of these issues we'll address and some of these we won't. As with most things related to your scan, sometimes there won't be a need to address issues based on your particular service or function. For example, the Open Graph issues here are related to an HTML version of the book that doesn't necessarily need the Open Graph tags.
Two features. One is the broken links feature. We now have the ability to download the broken links into multiple formats: a CSV, where you can import those into a spreadsheet, or a markdown file that you can use to run on your agentic coding tool, whether it's Claude Code or Codex. You can also download all of your issues up here in a format of CSV, JSON, or markdown. That's what I've done. If you look at what I've done, I have moved over and downloaded them, and you can see the format. This is the format for all issues, and it gives the rules for Claude Code, in my case, to remediate these issues and also the broken links.
I have run this in Claude Code, and now I am going to rescan the site. I'm going to rescan the whole site.
All right, I ran the scan, and you can see I still have my readability issues, which are fine, and there are a couple of Open Graph images still outstanding, but we know that those are not something that we're going to address. The X-Content-Type-Options issue is related to GitHub Pages. It's not something that I can really resolve at this time. You can also see that the broken links are now resolved.
So that is this edition of Now Scanning with the Proudly Serving book. You can learn more by visiting scangov.com or get the book at proudlyservingbook.com. Thank you.
