How it works
The 3-minute check: 5 areas, 100 points, your agent-readiness score. No login, no setup, free.
In three steps
- Enter a domain.
example.comis enough — we ignore protocol and path. - Wait. We fetch your homepage, robots.txt, llms.txt, llms-full.txt and sitemap.xml, and additionally test the homepage with the user agents of GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot. Every request has a 10-second timeout.
- Read the result. A score from 0 to 100 across five areas, with plain-language findings and one concrete next step each.
The five checks in detail
AI crawler access — 25 points
We parse your robots.txt and additionally fetch your homepage with the real user agents of GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot. If the status codes differ from a browser request, something is blocking you — usually a bot rule in a CDN or firewall.
Why it matters: Whoever gets locked out does not appear in AI answers. That is the single most expensive mistake on this list.
llms.txt — 20 points
We check whether /llms.txt really answers with 200, serves text, and is not an HTML soft 404 in disguise. /llms-full.txt earns bonus points.
Why it matters: Your llms.txt is the curated short version: product, value, pricing, links — written for models rather than for people.
JavaScript dependency — 20 points
We measure the visible text on your homepage without JavaScript, and how much of the delivered HTML is executable script code. Under 1,500 characters without JavaScript is critical.
Why it matters: AI crawlers do not execute JavaScript. Anything that only appears in a browser does not exist for them.
Structured data — 20 points
We read every JSON-LD block in your HTML and look at which @types appear — Organization, Product, Offer, FAQPage — and whether prices are stored as numbers.
Why it matters: Structured data is the difference between a model interpreting you and a model quoting you.
Agent basics — 15 points
sitemap.xml, rel="canonical", a findable route to legal notice and contact, homepage response time under 3 seconds.
Why it matters: The homework. Without it, the rest only gets you so far.
How the score is calculated
The score is the sum of the five areas, 100 points maximum.
- 0–39 (red): AI agents get no reliable picture of you. Usually there is either blocking or an empty HTML shell behind this.
- 40–69 (yellow): The fundamentals are in place, the rest is missing. Typical case: crawlers get through, but there is neither an llms.txt nor structured data.
- 70–100 (green): You are agent-ready. From here it is no longer the technology that decides, but what is written about you.
What we do NOT do
- We write nothing on your site and submit no forms.
- We execute no JavaScript — exactly like the AI crawlers we simulate.
- We do not crawl your site in full. It is five to eight requests, less than a single browser visit.
What we store
Domain, score and check results are stored anonymously and feed the aggregated market data at /api/v1/stats. We only store an email address if you enter one yourself, and we never publish it.
After that
The technical check is half the truth. Whether AI actually RECOMMENDS you is what AgentReady Monitor measures. → https://ai-agent-ready.com
