ChatGPT can it really read your site?

Most sites have never checked. A CDN setting, a stray robots.txt line or a JavaScript-only page is enough to make you invisible to every AI assistant — silently.

Free, no account, about 5 seconds.

We check 10 AI crawlers, your robots.txt and how readable your HTML is.

What we check

01

Can they get in?

We read your robots.txt the way a crawler does, then ask your server directly — once per crawler, with that crawler’s user-agent. robots.txt states policy; only a real request shows what your CDN does with it.

02

Can they read it?

We analyse the HTML your server sends, with no JavaScript executed — which is what nearly every AI crawler sees. If your content only appears after hydration, they get a blank page.

03

Can they cite you?

Structured data, a canonical URL, dates, an author, a sitemap. This is how an assistant knows who you are and decides to attribute an answer to you rather than to a competitor.

How we avoid crying wolf

Sending a crawler’s user-agent from our own IP is not proof of anything: plenty of CDNs verify bots by IP and refuse impostors. So every scan also sends a plain browser request and an honest, unnamed bot request from the same address. We only call it a targeted block when both of those get through and the named crawler does not. Anything else is reported as what it is.
