Is Your Site Ready For AI? — Free AI Readiness & SEO Scanner<br>Your website doesn't speak AI<br>Millions of websites are being left behind.<br>Don't let yours be one of them — scan any site to see how it stacks up.<br>Scan →What an AI-readiness scan checks<br>AI agents and modern crawlers read the web differently than a person does. They look for machine-readable signals — and most sites, especially older ones, never expose them. We grade every site across three dimensions and hand you a prioritized checklist of exactly what to fix.<br>AI Readiness<br>Does your robots.txt name the AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended)? Do you publish an llms.txt, a sitemap, structured content endpoints, an API catalog, and Markdown content negotiation so agents can consume your pages cleanly?

SEO<br>The consensus on-page checks search engines still rely on: title and meta description length, canonical tags, a single clear H1, heading hierarchy, structured data, Open Graph previews, indexability, and HTTPS.

Page Speed<br>How fast your server responds, how heavy the HTML payload is, and how many scripts block the page. Slow, bloated pages hurt both human visitors and the crawlers that rank you.

The scan is free, takes a few seconds, and requires no login. Paste any URL above to see exactly where your site stands.<br>Common questions<br>Why does AI readiness matter for my website?<br>Search is shifting from ten blue links to answers written by AI assistants. When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity about your industry, those systems pull from sites they can actually read and trust. If your pages hide their content behind JavaScript, block AI crawlers in robots.txt, or expose no structured data, you simply won't be part of the answer — no matter how good your business is.

What does the scan actually look at?<br>We fetch your page the way a crawler would and check dozens of real signals: whether your robots.txt welcomes named AI agents, whether you publish a sitemap and an llms.txt, whether agents can request clean Markdown, whether your metadata and structured data are complete, and how quickly your server responds. Every check maps to a concrete, fixable recommendation.

What kinds of sites tend to score poorly?<br>Older, heavily-templated, or plugin-laden sites — on any platform — tend to miss the signals AI systems look for: slow uncached responses, content buried behind JavaScript, and no structured data or llms.txt. A well-configured site scores highly regardless of what it's built on. The scan tells you exactly which signals you're missing.
