What is AI web readiness?

AI web readiness measures how well a website can be discovered, parsed, and cited by AI agents and large language models. It covers signals like /llms.txt, structured data, robots.txt AI crawler permissions, server-side rendering, and OpenGraph metadata.

What is /llms.txt and why does it matter?

/llms.txt is a plain text file placed at the root of a website that tells AI agents what the site is about, what it offers, and which pages to prioritize. Without it, AI agents have to guess your site's structure and purpose. It is the most impactful single change you can make for AI visibility.

How is the AI readiness score calculated?

The score is calculated across 20 weighted checks, each representing a signal that AI agents use when reading, classifying, or citing a website. Each check is a pass, partial, or fail, and the points add up to a score out of 100. The checks cover indexability (10 pts), /llms.txt (10 pts), structured data (9 pts), robots.txt AI permissions (8 pts), and further signals totalling 100 core points, plus four optional bonus checks.

Is AI readiness the same as SEO?

They overlap but are distinct. Traditional SEO optimizes for search engine crawlers and ranking algorithms. AI readiness optimizes for large language models and AI agents that read, summarize, and cite content directly. Many SEO best practices (structured data, fast load times, clear content) also help AI readiness, but AI-specific signals like /llms.txt have no SEO equivalent.

Which AI crawlers does the tool check for?

The tool checks for explicit permissions in robots.txt for GPTBot (OpenAI), ClaudeBot (Anthropic), PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, anthropic-ai, cohere-ai, and meta-externalagent, among others.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes, AI Web Readiness is completely free to use. No account or sign-up is required. Simply enter a URL and get a full report in seconds.

## Issues to fix (6)

### 1. Structured data (4.5 points available, currently scoring 4.5 of 9)

**What the scan found:** 1 JSON-LD block(s) found (types: organization). Adding richer schema types would improve this score. Counted across the homepage and 2 inner pages.

**Why it matters:** JSON-LD states plainly, in a format machines read without guessing, who you are, what you offer and how your pages relate to each other. Search engines and AI systems use it to build their understanding of an entity and to decide what to show or quote. Without it, they must infer meaning from layout and wording, and the inference is often wrong or shallow. Richer, more specific types give agents more facts they can use with confidence.

**How to fix it:** Add a <script type="application/ld+json"> block to your homepage <head>. At minimum include @context, @type (e.g. Organization, WebSite, or Article), name, url, and description. For higher scores add richer types like BreadcrumbList, Article, or Product on the relevant pages. Google's Structured Data Markup Helper is a good starting point.

### 2. Full-content AI feed (3 points available)

**What the scan found:** No /llms-full.txt found (status 404).

**Why it matters:** Where llms.txt is a map, llms-full.txt is the whole territory: the full text of your key pages in one place. An agent with limited time or a limited context window can read your content in a single request, with no page-by-page crawling and no risk of missing something behind navigation or scripts. It is a small file to publish, and it lets AI tools represent your content accurately and completely.

**How to fix it:** Create /llms-full.txt at your site root containing the full text of your most important pages, concatenated in order. Each page should be separated by a clear heading. Many static site generators and CMS platforms have plugins that generate this automatically.

### 3. Attribution schema (1 point available, currently scoring 4 of 5)

**What the scan found:** Found an Organization or Person entity, a name, a url, logo, or sameAs. Missing: author or publisher properties on content. Counted across the homepage and 2 inner pages.

**Why it matters:** When an AI assistant quotes or recommends a source, it needs to know who stands behind the content. Clear attribution data lets it credit you by name, connect your site to your profiles and reputation, and trust that the content comes from a real, identifiable author or organization. Anonymous content is easier to ignore, and harder to cite with confidence.

**How to fix it:** Add an Organization (or Person) entity to your JSON-LD with a name, a url, a logo, and sameAs links to your official profiles (LinkedIn, Wikipedia, social accounts). On articles and content pages, add author and publisher properties that reference those entities.

### 4. Page index (1 point available, currently scoring 5 of 6)

**What the scan found:** Valid sitemap at /sitemap.xml with 1 URL entries. To improve: list more than one URL.

**Why it matters:** A sitemap is the list of pages you want found. It lets crawlers discover content that internal links might not surface and tells them which pages have changed recently, so updates are picked up faster. Without one, discovery depends on crawlers following links, and pages that are deep in your site, new or poorly linked can be missed for a long time.

**How to fix it:** Create a valid XML sitemap listing your important pages with <loc> and <lastmod> entries, serve it at /sitemap.xml, and add a line 'Sitemap: https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml' to your robots.txt. Most CMS platforms generate this automatically.

### 5. Social and citation metadata (0.5 points available, currently scoring 3.5 of 4)

**What the scan found:** Present: og:title, og:description, og:image. Page scores (homepage first): 3.5, 0, 0 of 4. Inner pages can raise this score but never lower it.

**Why it matters:** OpenGraph tags are the headline, summary and picture that others see when your page is shared, previewed or cited. AI assistants and link-preview systems use them to describe your page quickly and consistently. When they are missing, the tool has to improvise from the page body, and the result is often an awkward title, a wrong summary or no image at all.

**How to fix it:** Add OpenGraph meta tags to your page <head>: og:title (your page title), og:description (a 1-2 sentence summary), og:image (a representative image URL), and og:site_name (your brand name). Each tag present adds to your score. These same tags are used by social platforms when your content is shared.

### 6. Page identity signals (0.5 points available, currently scoring 6.5 of 7)

**What the scan found:** title: 53 chars, description: 206 chars. Note: the description is long enough to be truncated. Titles of 40-70 and descriptions of 50-160 characters score full marks. Page scores (homepage first): 6.5, 0, 0 of 7. Inner pages can raise this score but never lower it.

**Why it matters:** The title and description are the first things a search engine or an AI agent reads to decide what a page is about and whether it is relevant to a question. Missing or vague ones make the page harder to classify, and overlong ones get truncated in search results and citations. A clear, specific title and description improve how often your page is chosen and how accurately it is described.

**How to fix it:** Write a descriptive <title> tag of 40-70 characters that clearly names the page and your brand. Add a <meta name="description"> of 50-160 characters that summarises what the page offers. Longer values get truncated. Both should be unique per page, specific rather than generic, and written for humans.

## Optional bonus checks

These are scored separately from the 100-point core and do not change the headline score. They only apply if they fit the site. Skip any that do not make sense for what this site is.

- **Q&A schema** (up to 2 more points): No FAQPage or HowTo schema found. Adding structured Q&A can significantly increase AI citations. Counted across the homepage and 2 inner pages. How: On any page that contains questions and answers, add a FAQPage JSON-LD block with Question and Answer entities. Each Question needs a name (the question text) and an acceptedAnswer with a text property. For step-by-step content, use HowTo schema instead. Google's Rich Results Test can validate your implementation.
- **Agent discovery endpoints** (up to 2 more points): No agent discovery documents found (MCP server card, A2A agent card, API catalog, agents.json, or OpenAPI description). How: Publish at least one machine-readable discovery document that applies to you, for example /.well-known/mcp.json for an MCP server, /.well-known/agent-card.json for an A2A agent, /.well-known/api-catalog for your APIs, or /openapi.json for a REST API. Two or more earn full marks.
- **Content feed** (up to 1 more points): No RSS or Atom feed detected. A content feed signals an actively updated site that agents should re-index. How: Create an RSS or Atom feed at /feed.xml or /rss.xml listing your most recent content with title, link, description, and pubDate per item. Add a <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="/feed.xml"> tag to your <head> so agents can discover it automatically. A feed that exists but is not advertised earns partial credit.
