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.

Audit by AI Web Readiness (https://aiwebreadiness.com) on 2026-10-12. Full report: https://aiwebreadiness.com/report/VssjK9tzyN
Current score: 96/100 (Excellent). 11 of 20 checks at full marks.

## Your task

You are working on the website https://sentinelgrid.ai. An automated audit measured how well this site can be discovered, parsed, and cited by AI agents and LLM-powered search engines. The issues it found are listed below, ordered by how many points each is worth.

Work through them in order, highest value first. For each issue, make the change in this site's codebase or CMS using the stack and conventions already in use. Where a fix needs copy, facts, or URLs you cannot verify from the existing site, ask me rather than inventing them.

There are 4 points on the table across these 5 issues. Fixing all of them reaches 100/100. If you only have time for the top 3, that alone is worth 3 points and takes the score to 99/100.

## Issues to fix (5)

### 1. Structured data (1.5 points available, currently scoring 7.5 of 9)

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

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

**What the scan found:** Valid sitemap at /sitemap.xml with 2 URL entries. To improve: add <lastmod> dates.

**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.

### 3. llms.txt quality (0.5 points available, currently scoring 5.5 of 6)

**What the scan found:** Has a title, a summary, 2 sections, links on your own domain, working links. To improve: list at least 3 links.

**Why it matters:** Agents rely on that structure to decide where to go next. A file that is just a paragraph of prose, or one full of broken or off-site links, gives them little to act on and can send them to dead ends. A well-formed file works like a trustworthy table of contents: it tells an assistant which pages answer which questions, which makes it more likely your best pages are the ones that get read and cited.

**How to fix it:** Follow the llmstxt.org format. Start with a single "# Site name" line, add a "> one sentence summary" blockquote, then group at least three markdown links under "## Section" headings, written as "- [Page name](https://yoursite.com/page): what it covers". Keep links on your own domain and make sure each one loads.

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

**What the scan found:** title: 58 chars, description: 164 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, 6.5 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.

### 5. Redirect and host health (0.5 points available, currently scoring 3.5 of 4)

**What the scan found:** Good: http redirects to https, a single redirect. To fix: www.sentinelgrid.ai serves the site too, though its canonical points back here. A redirect would be cleaner.

**Why it matters:** Every extra version of your address splits your search presence and wastes crawler time. When both www and non-www serve the site, or http does not redirect to https, search engines can treat them as separate sites and share your authority between them. Long redirect chains slow crawlers down and some give up before the end. One clean permanent redirect to a single main address keeps everything together.

**How to fix it:** Add a single permanent (301) redirect from http to https, and from the version of your hostname you do not use (www or non-www) to the one you do. Aim for one hop or none between any entry URL and the final page.

## 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 1 inner page. 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 freshness** (up to 2 more points): No machine-readable publish or modified dates found (JSON-LD, meta tags, <time> elements, or sitemap <lastmod>). How: Expose dates in machine-readable form: datePublished and dateModified in your JSON-LD, article:modified_time meta tags, <time datetime> elements, and <lastmod> in your sitemap. Keep them truthful and update them when content changes.
- **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.
