Two of these columns matter differently. robots.txt is what the site declares. Live request is what actually happened when we sent a real request using that crawler's user agent from a datacentre IP, which is how edge blocking, rate limits and challenge pages show up even when robots.txt looks permissive.

Reach 37.5 / 40

✗

Edge returns 403, 429, or a challenge to AI user agents

Requests identifying as claudebot were refused at the edge (HTTP 403 Forbidden).

Why it matters. A permissive robots.txt is irrelevant if the edge answers an AI user agent with 403, 429, or a JavaScript challenge. Retrieval fetchers do not solve interstitials, so the assistant records a fetch failure and answers from another source.
Fix. Fetch the page with each AI user agent string and compare the status and byte count against a browser request. On Cloudflare, check whether the "Block AI bots" toggle in AI Crawl Control, a Bot Fight Mode rule, or a WAF custom rule on `cf.verified_bot_category` is catching the request, then narrow it: block the training category and add a skip rule for the retrieval agents you want citing you. Verified bots must not be handed Managed Challenge, since a challenge is a hard failure for a non-browser client. Re-test after every WAF or bot-management change, because these toggles are applied zone-wide.

robots.txt sets Crawl-delay, which most fetchers ignore

Crawl-delay of 5s is declared. Large crawlers may fetch only a few pages per hour, or ignore the directive entirely.

Why it matters. `Crawl-delay` is not in RFC 9309. Googlebot and OpenAI's fetchers ignore it, while some retrieval agents that do honour it will space requests seconds apart, which can exceed an answer engine's fetch timeout and leave the page uncited.
Fix. Remove `Crawl-delay` and handle load at the edge instead, with caching and rate limiting keyed on the client. If crawl volume is the real problem, cache HTML at your CDN so repeat fetches never reach the origin. Keep the file to standard directives (`User-agent`, `Allow`, `Disallow`, `Sitemap`) so parser behaviour is predictable.

No meta description summarises the page

No meta description, so answer engines invent their own summary.

Why it matters. The meta description is a short, author-written summary that retrieval systems index alongside the body and often surface as the preview line beside a citation. Without it the surface generates a summary from whatever fragment it extracted, which may be navigation text.
Fix. Add a `<meta name="description">` of roughly 110 to 160 characters that states what the page answers, written per page rather than per template. Include the concrete nouns a reader would search for, and do not restate the title word for word. Leave it out entirely rather than shipping the same string sitewide.

<meta name="description" content="Which robots.txt rules block AI training crawlers, which block answer-engine fetchers, and how to allow citation while opting out of training." />

Visible text is a small fraction of the HTML payload

Text is 6.4% of the 178 KB document; 7 KB is inline script.

Why it matters. Extractors strip scripts, styles, and wrapper markup before passing text to a model, and a page where content is a small fraction of the payload loses more of it to boilerplate removal. Inline JSON state blobs and deeply nested wrappers also push real text past the truncation limit of a retrieval context.
Fix. Move inline hydration state and large inline scripts out of the document, or fetch them after load instead of embedding them. Flatten wrapper `div` trees and let semantic elements carry the content, and keep utility-class soup out of the article body. Serve the same text without the boilerplate at a stable URL if you need a clean extraction target.

4 pt

Title is missing, duplicated, or too generic to identify the page

Title is 10 characters: "Wikisource"

Why it matters. The `<title>` is the first text an indexer stores for the URL and is frequently reused verbatim as the link label in a generated answer. An empty, duplicated, or purely brand-name title gives the ranker no lexical signal for the page's actual topic.
Fix. Write a unique `<title>` of roughly 30 to 60 characters that leads with the page's subject and ends with the brand. Match the wording of the `h1` so the stored label and the visible heading agree. Remove template output such as "Home" or a bare site name, and keep keyword lists and separator chains out of it.

No JSON-LD structured data found on the page

No JSON-LD structured data on the homepage.

Why it matters. JSON-LD gives an answer engine typed facts (headline, author, dates, price, publisher) without inferring them from prose, and those fields populate the entity record a citation is attached to. With no structured data every attribute has to be guessed from text, and guesses are dropped when confidence is low.
Fix. Add one `<script type="application/ld+json">` block describing the page's primary entity, using the schema.org type that actually fits: `Article` or `NewsArticle`, `Product`, `Recipe`, `Event`, `FAQPage`, or `SoftwareApplication`. Populate the required properties for that type and make every value match visible page content. Prefer JSON-LD over microdata or RDFa, since it is the format the major crawlers document, and render it server-side so non-JavaScript fetchers see it.

Structured data is too generic for what the page is about

No entity types that answer engines consume.

Why it matters. Answer engines route by entity type: a `Product` node supplies price and availability, an `Article` node supplies author and dates, and a `FAQPage` node supplies question and answer pairs. A generic `WebPage` or `WebSite` node on a product or article page carries none of those fields, so the specific facts stay unavailable.
Fix. Replace bare `WebPage` and `WebSite` nodes with the most specific type that describes the page, and fill the properties that type defines. Use `@graph` to publish several linked nodes on one page, such as an `Article` whose `publisher` points at an `Organization` node by `@id`. Add `BreadcrumbList` for hierarchy and reuse the same `@id` values across pages so the entity resolves to one record.

  "@graph": [
    {
      "@type": "Product",

No /llms.txt index of canonical pages

No /llms.txt.

Why it matters. `/llms.txt` is a markdown file that points an assistant at the canonical pages for a site, so retrieval does not depend on which page a search happened to return. Its format is fixed: one `#` title, a `>` blockquote summary, then `##` sections of markdown links with short notes.
Fix. Publish `/llms.txt` as `text/plain` markdown: an `#` H1 with the project name, a `>` blockquote summary, optional plain paragraphs of context, then `##` sections whose bullets are `[title](absolute-url): note`. Link the pages you want quoted, put lower-priority links under an `## Optional` section, and prefer URLs that also serve clean markdown. Keep it generated from the same source as your sitemap so it does not drift, and remember it is a hint for assistants, not an access control mechanism.

# Example

> Example publishes reference documentation for the Widget API and guides for
> configuring crawler access.

Prefer the pages below over search results; each URL is canonical.

- [Widget API reference](https://example.com/docs/api): endpoints, auth, limits.
- [Quickstart](https://example.com/docs/quickstart): first request in five minutes.

No machine-readable author is attached to the page

No author or Person entity, which weakens the authority signals answer engines use.

Why it matters. An `author` property in structured data is what lets an answer engine name a person or organisation as the source and link the byline to a stable profile. A byline that exists only as styled text is not reliably associated with the document during extraction.
Fix. Add an `author` property to the page's `Article`, `BlogPosting`, or `NewsArticle` node, typed as `Person` or `Organization`, with a `name` and a `url` pointing at a real profile page. Give each author a stable `@id` and reuse it across posts so the entity consolidates. Keep the visible byline identical to the structured value, and avoid generic names such as "Admin" or "Staff Writer" where a real author exists.

No machine-readable published or modified date

No publication or modification dates in structured data.

Why it matters. Answer engines prefer recent sources for questions about current state and use `dateModified` to decide whether a cached copy needs refetching. With no machine-readable date the page is treated as undated and loses to competitors that publish one.
Fix. Publish `datePublished` and `dateModified` in the page's structured data as ISO 8601 values with a timezone offset. Update `dateModified` only when the content actually changes, since bumping it on every deploy trains crawlers to ignore it. Mirror the value in a visible `<time datetime>` element so the rendered text and the metadata agree, and keep the sitemap `lastmod` consistent with it.

No Organization entity identifies the publisher

No Organization entity, so the brand is harder to resolve to a known entity.

Why it matters. An `Organization` node with `sameAs` links resolves your site to a single entity across knowledge graphs instead of leaving the publisher name as an ambiguous string. That resolution is what lets an assistant attribute an answer to your brand and reuse your name, logo, and contact details.
Fix. Publish one `Organization` node, usually on the home page, with `name`, `url`, `logo`, and `sameAs` pointing at the profiles that already describe you: Wikipedia or Wikidata, Crunchbase, LinkedIn, and your primary social accounts. Give it a stable `@id` such as `https://example.com/#organization` and reference that `@id` from each page's `publisher` property instead of repeating the block. Add `contactPoint` and `address` when they are public, and keep every value identical to what the site shows.
