Is your site ready for
AI agents?
AI agents don't browse, they parse. Score any website across 14 machine-readability signals and see exactly what AI systems can and can't read.
How the web scores
Aggregated across every site scanned. Updated in real time.
Every signal that matters to AI agents
Each check maps to something an AI agent looks for when it reads, classifies, or cites your site. Pass them all and you're invisible to nothing.
Three steps to a shareable report
No account needed. Enter a URL, wait a few seconds, and get a full breakdown with a ready-to-deploy /llms.txt file.
Fetch
We request your homepage, /robots.txt, /sitemap.xml, /llms.txt, and /llms-full.txt simultaneously.
Analyze
14 checks run in parallel against the raw HTML and file responses. No JavaScript execution required.
Report
You get a score out of 100, a grade, and a full per-check breakdown with specific fixes for each failure.
Common questions
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. A site with high AI readiness is more likely to be understood, referenced, and surfaced by AI-powered tools and assistants.
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. It follows a simple convention proposed by the developer community to give large language models a structured map of site content. Without it, AI agents have to infer your site's structure from raw HTML, which is less reliable. Adding /llms.txt is the single highest-impact change most sites can make for AI visibility.
How is the AI readiness score calculated?
The score is calculated across 14 weighted checks, each representing a signal that AI agents use when reading, classifying, or citing a website. Points are awarded on a pass, partial, or fail basis, then normalized to a 0 to 100 scale. The checks cover /llms.txt (25 pts), structured data (15 pts), content readability (15 pts), and 11 additional signals including robots.txt AI permissions, sitemap, OpenGraph, canonical tags, HTTPS, and more.
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 such as structured data, fast load times, and 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 robots.txt for explicit rules covering GPTBot (OpenAI), ClaudeBot and anthropic-ai (Anthropic), PerplexityBot (Perplexity), Google-Extended and GoogleOther (Google), CCBot (Common Crawl), cohere-ai (Cohere), OAI-SearchBot (OpenAI search), and Bytespider (ByteDance). Sites that explicitly allow these crawlers signal openness to AI indexing and score higher on the AI crawler permissions check.
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. All scans are saved and shareable via a unique report link, and you can rescan any URL at any time to track improvements over time. The tool runs 14 checks in parallel and returns results in under 10 seconds for most sites.
How often should I rescan my site?
Rescan whenever you make changes that could affect machine readability: publishing a new /llms.txt, adding structured data, updating robots.txt, or significantly changing your page content. The tool stores your previous score so you can track improvement over time. Many users run a scan before and after a launch to confirm their changes had the intended effect on AI visibility.
