AI readiness check
Is your site ready for AI?
We check what AI assistants and AI search need from your website: can they get in, can they understand who you are, and can they find your pages. Free, in about 10 seconds.
Only checking your llms.txt? Use the llms.txt validator.
What we check
- Access: can ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Bing and Google read your site, or does robots.txt, a noindex tag or a JavaScript-only page get in the way?
- Understanding: structured data that names your business, a clear title, description and heading, and an llms.txt file.
- Discovery: a sitemap, a canonical address and share previews.
- Speed and basics: how fast your home page responds and whether its language is set.
How we score
100 points across four areas, from your home page, robots.txt, sitemap and llms.txt. A passing check earns its points, a partial one earns some. We're deliberately honest about what matters:
- No score guarantees AI recommendations. Each AI company decides what it reads and cites. These are the basics that let them read and understand you.
- Blocking AI training is your choice. We report it but don't take points off. Blocking AI search crawlers does cost points, because it stops assistants from citing you.
- llms.txt is optional. It's worth 5 points as a "should have", never a failure.
- 80 or more is "Ready", unless a major check (worth 10 or more points) fails. Being blocked from Google or Bing, hidden from search, or empty without JavaScript holds a site back whatever its total.
