0.8%
0.8% of the 3,063 scored census entries across 3 cohorts in Canada fail the test of whether robots.txt lets AI search crawlers in (RCH-1). A further 249 refused the scanner and are not counted.
- Sites
- 26 of 3,063 scored sites
- Group
- Canada, 3 cohorts pooled
- Distinct addresses
- 3,026 (a site on two rosters is two entries)
- Test
- RCH-1: Can the AI tools that search the web read your site?
- Edition
- Census Q4 2026, Index 12.1, computed 2026-11-06
- Caveat
- Public rosters, not a random sample of the web; a site on more than one roster counts once in each, and says nothing about sites outside Canada.
How to check
- The group and its sites: Canada.
- How the census is run: methodology.
- The figures: summary.json or claims.json.
- Every published figure: all claims for Canada.
