AI Search Readiness

AI Crawlers

This site's robots.txt blocks crawlers that AI search tools use to read pages, so the site is less likely to be shown or cited in AI answers (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity).

OAI-SearchBot ChatGPT search AI search
ChatGPT-User ChatGPT (user requests) AI search
Claude-SearchBot Claude search AI search
Claude-User Claude (user requests) AI search
PerplexityBot Perplexity AI search
GPTBot OpenAI training AI training
ClaudeBot Anthropic training AI training
Google-Extended Google Gemini training AI training
Applebot-Extended Apple AI training AI training
CCBot Common Crawl AI training

Blocking AI training crawlers is a common choice and doesn't affect the score. Only the AI search crawlers count.

Structured Data

The homepage describes itself with schema.org structured data, which helps search engines and AI tools understand it: Image

Canonical Tag

The homepage has a canonical tag, which tells search engines which URL is the main version of the page.

llms.txt

No llms.txt file. It's an emerging convention: a short Markdown summary of the site for AI tools. Optional, so it doesn't affect the score.

Security

HTTPS

The site loads over HTTPS, so connections are encrypted. Browsers and search engines expect this.

HSTS

No Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) header. It tells browsers to always use HTTPS, which protects visitors from being downgraded to an insecure connection.

Security Headers

2 of 5 common security headers found. At least 2 are needed to pass.
