Top-level domain segment

AI crawler access on .cat domains

3 of the 14 domains measured in this segment disallow at least one answer engine at the site root, 21% of the segment. That answer-engine rate is 3.3 times the corpus rate of 6%, which is itself measured across 29,847 domains.

Mean AI access score across those 14 domains is 75.2 of 100, 1 of them publish an llms.txt (7%), and 7 publish structured data an answer engine can parse (50%). At 14 domains this segment is small enough that one site changing its robots.txt moves every rate on this page.

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

A top-level domain is a weak proxy for jurisdiction. Most of them are open to any registrant anywhere, so a domain under a country-code registry may be operated from outside that country by a company no local law reaches. Read these rows as differences between registration communities and the publishing cultures inside them, not as differences between legal regimes.

Measure your own domain

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.
