AI crawlers cannot reach this site.
RCH-1 failed, so an assistant asking about this organization gets nothing from here whatever the page contains. The score beside it says how well the site is built; this says none of it is currently reachable. Both are true, and neither replaces the other, which is why the score is no longer capped to say it.

11 of 38 tests pass 48 points still on the table
Cohort median 58, range 28–79. Grey is the middle half.
AI crawlers are turned away before they reach the content, so nothing else on this page has had a chance to matter.

Can the AI tools that search the web read your site?
9 of 9 search crawlers are disallowed from content paths: OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Googlebot, bingbot, Applebot, MistralAI-Index, meta-webindexer, Amzn-SearchBot. Training crawlers blocked (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot, Bytespider) are shown in the posture panel and do not change this result.
Do this: Remove inherited robots.txt blocks on search crawlers.
Are your published and updated dates honest and visible?
0 of 21 pages carry a publication or modification date in their markup, 0 of them show a date to the reader, across 0 distinct dateModified values.
Do this: Show both dates on the page and wire them to the node's own timestamps.
Do your page settings let assistants quote you?
21 of 21 sampled pages carry a directive that keeps them out of search or out of AI answers: noindex (all). It is on every sampled page.
Do this: Remove noindex, nosnippet and similar directives from pages you want cited.

Your robots.txt tells crawlers what they may read. If it shuts out the search crawler behind an assistant, that assistant cannot cite you.

RCH-2 Does your website let those crawlers in, or does your security turn them away? PASS 12 pt
All 12 search crawlers and user-triggered fetchers receive full content. No interactive challenges on 21 sampled read-only pages.
A firewall or bot rule can turn a crawler away even when robots.txt says yes, or put a challenge page in front of it that it cannot pass. We request pages the way each crawler does and record what comes back.

RCH-3 Does each page say which web address is the real one? PASS 2 pt
90% of sampled pages emit a valid, self-consistent canonical. 2 have problems.
A canonical link names the true address of a page. Without one, the same content can read as several competing pages.
Sources (2)
RCH-4 Do your page settings let assistants quote you?21 of 21 sampled pages carry a directive that keeps them out of search or out of AI answers: noindex (all). It is on every sampled page. PROBLEM +3
21 of 21 sampled pages carry a directive that keeps them out of search or out of AI answers: noindex (all). It is on every sampled page.
Page tags and headers that stop a search engine from showing a snippet, or from indexing a page at all, also keep that page out of the AI answers built on the search index.

RED-1 Is your page's text in the page itself, without needing JavaScript? PASS 10 pt
The first response from your server holds 100% of the text a browser shows, on average across 21 pages; 0% of the words are missing until scripts run. The worst template is /: 100% across 20 pages.
If your text only appears after JavaScript runs, a tool that does not run it sees an empty page. This is the heaviest test in the Index.
RED-3 Can a crawler trust the 'last changed' dates in your sitemap?No sitemap URLs with lastmod values were found. PROBLEM +2
No sitemap URLs with lastmod values were found.
A last-changed date should mean the content changed, not that you deployed. Once it is noise, crawlers stop trusting it.
- Back-end developer (lead)
- Search specialist
RED-4 Do your filters and calendars keep a crawler from getting lost? PASS 1 pt
19 of 19 parameterized URLs are held in check by noindex or a canonical back to the unfiltered listing.
Filters and calendars can generate millions of addresses. A crawler spends its visit there instead of on the pages you care about.
Sources (1)
RED-5 Do your PDFs and images have their own rules for search and quoting?0 of 12 non-HTML resources carry an X-Robots-Tag. PROBLEM +1
0 of 12 non-HTML resources carry an X-Robots-Tag.
PDFs, images and JSON cannot carry a meta robots tag, so the instruction has to travel in the HTTP header instead.

RED-6 Do missing pages say they are missing? PASS 1 pt
0 of 2 deliberately invalid URLs returned HTTP 200.
A missing page that answers 200 OK looks like a real page, and a crawler spends its visit on it.
RED-7 Do your redirects go straight to the right page? PASS 1 pt
0 of 21 sampled URLs redirect.
Every extra redirect is another chance for a crawler to give up. One hop, straight to the destination.

RED-8 Do you have sitemaps for your images and videos?No sitemap could be fetched or parsed. PROBLEM +1
No sitemap could be fetched or parsed.
Image and video sitemaps tell a crawler about media it would not find in the page text.

RED-10 Do you offer a plain-text (Markdown) copy of your pages?0 of 1 sampled pages have a Markdown copy that matches the page and carries no navigation (looked for at the page address plus .md; no page advertised one). PROBLEM +2
0 of 1 sampled pages have a Markdown copy that matches the page and carries no navigation (looked for at the page address plus .md; no page advertised one).
A plain-text Markdown copy of a page has none of the navigation and markup a tool has to wade through to reach your words.
- Back-end developer
RED-12 If a machine asks for Markdown, does your site give it?0 of 21 URLs serve Markdown for Accept: text/markdown. PROBLEM +2
0 of 21 URLs serve Markdown for Accept: text/markdown.
A machine can ask the page's own address for Markdown and get it, with caches keeping the web and Markdown versions apart.

RED-13 Is the page built from real page parts, like header, main and navigation?0% of sampled pages carry one main element, a wrapping article or section, and a nav. 20 exceed 12 divs per semantic element. PROBLEM +1
0% of sampled pages carry one main element, a wrapping article or section, and a nav. 20 exceed 12 divs per semantic element.
Real page parts such as header, main and navigation, instead of one pile of unlabeled boxes. It is good practice for people, and research suggests structure helps a model read a page.

RED-14 Do your headings follow in order, starting from one main heading? PASS 1 pt
100% of sampled pages have exactly one non-empty h1 and no skipped heading levels.
One main heading, then sub-headings in order. A study found most pages ChatGPT cited used ordered headings; that shows association, not cause.
Sources (2)
RED-16 Does every section heading have a link that will not change?0 of 485 subheadings carry a slug-like id (0%); 0 have generated or unstable ids. PROBLEM +1
0 of 485 subheadings carry a slug-like id (0%); 0 have generated or unstable ids.
A section heading with a stable ID can be linked to directly, so a person or a tool can return to the same passage.

21 of 21 sampled pages are thin relative to their images or lead with a document download.
A fact that exists only in a PDF, a scan or an infographic is harder to find and quote. It is not a hard barrier: at least one AI tool reads PDFs.

71% of sampled pages open with a full sentence of at least 8 words within their first 500 characters.

UND-4 Does each article show who wrote it, with a page about the author? PASS 2 pt
No article pages were sampled, so there is no author to find.
An article should show who wrote it, and the name should lead to a page or profile about that person.
UND-5 Does the author label in your page code point to that person?0 of 18 substantive pages show a byline and point to the author with a reference, a link or a profile; 0 carry a bare string; 18 are unsigned. PROBLEM +1
0 of 18 substantive pages show a byline and point to the author with a reference, a link or a profile; 0 carry a bare string; 18 are unsigned.

0 of 21 pages carry a publication or modification date in their markup, 0 of them show a date to the reader, across 0 distinct dateModified values.
Published and updated dates should be visible to readers, match your page code, and move only when the content does. A date that changes on every deploy is noise.

UND-7 Does each page show where it sits in your site? PASS 1 pt
The sampled pages are all at the first level of the site, so there is no hierarchy for a trail to show.
Where your site has sections, each page should show where it sits, so a model knows a program page belongs to a department.

About these numbers. Points are whole numbers everywhere on this page. The arithmetic behind them is not: a test scores its weight times its band divided by four, so a row can earn 1.5 points and print as 2. Scores are computed from the exact figures and rounded once, at the end, never from the rounded rows. The rule is published in the standard.
