Publishing platform segment

AI crawler access on client-rendered shell sites

63 of the 617 sites measured in this segment refuse a request from an identified AI user agent at the edge, 10% of the segment, against 3% whose robots.txt disallows an answer engine at the site root. The block that costs these sites citations is not the one written in the file. That answer-engine rate is 3.7 points below the corpus rate of 7%, which is itself measured across 30,225 domains.

Mean AI access score across those 617 sites is 54.3 of 100, 35 of them publish an llms.txt (6%), and 78 publish structured data an answer engine can parse (13%).

Block rate is the share of this segment's domains holding a policy record for that agent whose robots.txt disallows it at the site root, shown with its numerator and denominator. Denominators differ between agents because a record only exists once a domain has been measured for it. A domain serving no robots.txt counts as allowing everything, which is what the standard specifies.

What this segment does not tell you read this before citing it

Platform detection relies on a generator meta tag, so coverage is partial and skewed. A site that strips the tag, or a system that never writes one, is invisible here. These rows therefore over-represent platforms that advertise themselves and say nothing at all about the ones that do not.

The audit that produced every number on this page runs on any domain in about six seconds: robots.txt resolved for 48 agents, then live requests sent as four of them to see whether the edge agrees with the file.
