What the checker looks at

AI crawlers can reach the page
Whether robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Perplexity, Claude, Bing and Google read the page. Training crawlers are shown separately: blocking them is a fair choice and does not stop live answers.
Page loads and may be indexed
An HTTP 200 answer, and no noindex in the page or its headers.
Content is readable without JavaScript
Most AI crawlers do not run scripts. If your words only appear after JavaScript runs, they see an empty page.
Title, description and headings
A clear title, a description that says what you offer, one H1 and section headings.
Answers buyers' questions
Question headings or an FAQ: the format AI answers quote most.
Structured data
JSON-LD naming your organisation and what you sell, plus FAQPage.
llms.txt and sitemap
A Markdown summary for AI tools at /llms.txt, and a sitemap listed in robots.txt.

Questions

What is AI readiness?

Whether AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google's AI answers can reach a page, read its content and understand what it offers. A page that fails these basics is rarely cited, however good it is.

Does a good score mean ChatGPT will recommend me?

No. Readiness means the engines can read and cite you; whether they recommend you depends on what they find across the web. Run a free check to see whether ChatGPT names your brand for a question your buyers ask.

Should I block GPTBot?

GPTBot collects data to train OpenAI's models. Blocking it does not remove you from ChatGPT search, which uses OAI-SearchBot and ChatGPT-User. Block training crawlers if you prefer, but keep the search and answer crawlers allowed.

Is this check free?

Yes, with no sign-up. It reads the page, robots.txt, llms.txt and your sitemap once, and stores only the score.
