Question 1

What does this tool check?

Accepted Answer

22 things, each marked Pass or Review: whether your site loads, whether robots.txt exists and lets all crawlers and the AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, GoogleOther, Googlebot and Meta’s meta-externalagent) in, whether a sitemap lists your pages, whether you have an llms.txt, and whether your homepage has a title, description, canonical URL, Open Graph and Twitter Card tags, one H1, a language attribute, a viewport tag and JSON-LD that names the business. The free audit’s technical readiness table uses the same list.

Question 2

Does it tell me whether AI assistants recommend me?

Accepted Answer

No. It tells you whether AI crawlers can read your site. Whether the assistants actually name you when buyers ask is a different measurement, and that is what the free audit does.

Question 3

Does it use AI or store my domain?

Accepted Answer

No AI is involved: it fetches a handful of files from your site and applies fixed rules. Results are not saved. To stop abuse, we count requests per network address, an hour at a time.

Question 4

Does it obey robots.txt?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It reads your robots.txt first, and if the file disallows our crawler from your homepage, it does not fetch the homepage and says so.
