Validation

100/100

Checked against the llms.txt format (the public guidelines for these files).

  • The "About Cloudflare" section has text but no links.

    How to fix: That's fine for background information. If the section is meant to point to pages, list them as: - [Page name](https://yoursite.com/page): what it's about

  • 16 list items inside sections aren't links.

    How to fix: Turn them into links where you can: - [Name](https://yoursite.com/page): short note

  • Has an "Optional" section, which AI tools may skip when they're short on space. That's by design.
