Website audit tool: a bounded check of your site for AI search
Our website audit tool checks one website against eight published checks and scores it out of 100. It reads robots.txt, your homepage, your sitemap, /llms.txt and up to 8 pages linked from the homepage, then shows what passed, what did not and one fix for each gap.
We read robots.txt before anything else and follow it, then your homepage, your sitemap, /llms.txt and up to 8 same-site pages linked from the homepage, within twelve seconds and 30 requests. Each page is read up to 1.5 MB with up to three redirects, each to a public HTTPS address. HTTPS websites are supported; other addresses are refused.
No email is needed; runs are limited per network and per day, and by the site's daily allowance.
We do not save your website, company name, page content or result. We keep daily totals and hashed network counters to enforce limits. A shared result stays in its link, not on our server.
What we check and why
Homepage answers over HTTPS (10 points)
The homepage should answer 200 with HTML over HTTPS. Every other check starts from it.
robots.txt lets search and user agents read the site (15 points)
At /, robots.txt should allow the agents that read pages for search and for people asking now: OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-SearchBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Bingbot and Googlebot. A refusal for training crawlers such as GPTBot is your choice and is not scored.
An XML sitemap lists pages (10 points)
The sitemap named in robots.txt, else /sitemap.xml, should be XML that lists page addresses.
Every page has a title and a meta description (15 points)
Each page we read should have a title element and a meta description. They are what a search result shows and what a reader sees before the page.
Every page has one H1 (10 points)
Each page should have exactly one H1 that says what the page is about.
Main text is in the raw HTML (15 points)
Each page should carry at least 100 words of main text in the HTML the server sends, so crawlers that do not run scripts can read it.
Organization structured data on the homepage (15 points)
The homepage should carry Organization JSON-LD with a name, a url and sameAs links to your official profiles.
Pages are indexable and name themselves as canonical (10 points)
Pages should be free of noindex and name themselves, or no other page, as canonical.
llms.txt, reported but not scored
We say whether /llms.txt is there. It is navigation guidance, not a requirement, so it carries no points.
The weights are fixed and total 100. A passing check earns its full weight and a partial result earns half; a check we could not verify earns nothing.
Questions
What does this website audit check?
Eight things a crawler meets when it reads your site: whether the homepage answers over HTTPS, whether robots.txt lets search and user agents in, an XML sitemap, titles and descriptions, one H1 a page, main text in the raw HTML, Organization structured data, and canonical and noindex tags. Each has a fixed weight, and the eight total 100.
How is this different from an SEO audit?
It is narrower. It checks what AI crawlers and answer engines need in order to read your site and identify your company, on a bounded sample of pages, and it leaves out rankings, backlinks and speed.
Does a high score mean ChatGPT will recommend us?
No. The score covers what your site states and serves. Whether ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews or Google AI Mode name your company takes a dated measurement of buyer questions, with a receipt for each answer.
