- What exactly does the check measure?
- 9 technical areas across four pillars (Retrievable, Explainable, Actionable, Distributed), worth 100 points in total: AI crawler access (18), JavaScript dependency (14), Agent basics (10), Search index verification (9), llms.txt (14), Structured data (14), Feed & product data (9), Agentic buyability (7), Catalog prerequisites (5). The scan checks public signals on your domain and labels results it cannot verify.
- How can an area be worth nothing?
- Some areas do not apply to every site. For example, a blog may have no checkout. Those areas are excluded, and the score is calculated from the applicable points. An applicable signal that cannot be verified from outside receives half its points.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing. The check is permanently free, with no login and no credit card. 3 of the 9 areas are visible immediately, the remaining 6 after you enter your email address.
- Why do I have to give my email for 6 of the checks?
- We email you the full report with all 9 areas and a next step for each. You can forward it to your engineers. You also join our newsletter and can unsubscribe with one click.
- How long does a scan take?
- Usually under 60 seconds. Every individual check has a 10-second timeout; a check that fails is left out of the score rather than counted as zero, and never aborts the scan.
- Does the scan change anything on my website?
- The scan is read-only. It fetches publicly available URLs: your homepage, robots.txt, llms.txt, llms-full.txt and sitemap.xml. We additionally look up your public DNS TXT records to check for search-index verification.
- What happens to my data?
- The domain, score and check results are stored anonymously and feed the aggregated market data at /api/v1/stats. Your email address is stored separately and is never published alongside a specific scan.
- Is the result public?
- The result page is shareable and indexable by default. On the page itself you can switch it to noindex with one click.
- Is there an API?
- Yes. POST /api/v1/scans starts a scan, GET /api/v1/scans/{id} returns the result, GET /api/v1/stats returns aggregated market data. The OpenAPI spec lives at /api/v1/openapi.json.
- How is this different from AgentReady Monitor?
- The check measures technology: can agents reach your content at all? The Monitor measures effect: do ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity actually recommend you, and in what words?
