AIR-4.8 · medium effort

Can a crawler trust the dates in your sitemap?

11 of 11 sitemap URLs carry a lastmod across 1 distinct dates; 100% share 2026-10-08.

Do this: Wire lastmod to the node's changed timestamp. A lastmod driven by cron or by a deploy tells a crawler everything changed at once, which is the same as telling it nothing changed.

2 +0
AIR-5.4 · medium effort

Are your published and modified dates honest?

10 of 10 pages carry a publication or modification date across 1 distinct dateModified values.

Do this: Wire both dates to the node's own timestamps. A deploy must not move dateModified. If every page changed last Tuesday, the signal is telling a crawler nothing changed at all.

AIR-1.1 Can AI crawlers reach your site?All 10 AI agents may fetch content paths. Pass 5 pt
Why we test this

All 10 AI agents may fetch content paths.

Your robots.txt tells crawlers what they may read. One stale line, often copied from an old template, can shut out the assistants people now use to find you.

Why we test this

All 8 AI user-agents receive full content.

Even when robots.txt says yes, a firewall or bot rule can turn assistants away before they reach a page. We ask as each crawler and record what comes back.

AIR-1.3 Is your page readable without a security challenge?No interactive challenges on 10 sampled read-only pages. Pass 1 pt
Why we test this

No interactive challenges on 10 sampled read-only pages.

A CAPTCHA or bot check on an ordinary page stops an assistant at the door. Those belong on forms and logins, not on pages anyone can read.

Why we test this

Content Signals declare search=yes, ai-input=yes, ai-train=yes.

A machine-readable line in robots.txt saying whether AI may search, quote or train on your content. Having a stated position — any position — is the point.

Why we test this

robots.txt carries a 544-character policy comment mentioning ai, training, license, licence, permission.

A few plain sentences in robots.txt saying what you permit. Journalists and lawyers read this file, and most sites say nothing in it.

What we saw
Text: TEN7 publishes this site as the reference implementation of the AI Readiness Index.

100% of sampled pages carry one main element, a wrapping article or section, and a nav.

Meaningful elements rather than an undifferentiated wall of containers. It is the difference between a document and a soup of boxes.

Why we test this

100% of sampled pages have exactly one non-empty h1 and no skipped heading levels.

One main heading, then sub-headings in order. Assistants use headings to work out which part of a page answers a question.

Why we test this

/llms.txt lists 14 links across 3 sections, covering 100% of the sitemap.

A file at /llms.txt listing your most important pages. It is early and cheap, and it forces a useful conversation about what actually matters on your site.

16 of 16 entity nodes carry an @id (100%). The WebPage to WebSite to Organization chain resolves.

Structured data that links together — your organization, your site, this page — rather than a scattering of disconnected labels.

Why we test this

6 sameAs links: 1 tier-1 authority identifiers, 2 tier-2, 3 social. 2 do not resolve.

Links from your markup to authoritative records like Wikidata or ROR. Without one, an assistant is guessing which organization of your name it has found.

Why we test this

7 of 7 organizational facts are present in the Organization markup: foundingDate, leadership, address, areaServed, contactPoint, legalIdentifier, description.

Founding date, leadership, address, contact details, legal identifiers. Thin About pages are the most common weakness we see.

AIR-2.1 Does your content show up without JavaScript?Raw HTML contains 100% of rendered text on average across 10 URLs. The worst template is /: 100% across 1 pages. Pass 6 pt
Why we test this

Raw HTML contains 100% of rendered text on average across 10 URLs. The worst template is /: 100% across 1 pages.

If your content only appears after JavaScript runs, a crawler that does not run it sees an empty page. This is the heaviest check in the Index.

Why we test this

107 nodes across 10 pages parse, carry what their types require, and hold well-formed values.

Markup that does not parse, or that leaves out what its type needs, is served to machines that cannot use it — and nothing on the page says so.

There is none of this on the site, so there is nothing to fix.

Filters and calendars can generate millions of URLs. A crawler spends its budget in there instead of on the pages you care about.

What's wrong

11 of 11 sitemap URLs carry a lastmod across 1 distinct dates; 100% share 2026-10-08.

A lastmod date should mean the content changed, not that you deployed. Once it is noise, crawlers stop trusting it.

Fixed by

AIR-6.1 Do you describe your public API in a spec an agent can read?There is none of this on the site, so there is nothing to fix. Pass 2 pt
Why we test this

There is none of this on the site, so there is nothing to fix.

If you have a public API, describe it in a spec an agent can read, and version it so today's answer is still true next quarter.

AIR-6.2 Do you publish agent capabilities where agents look for them?There is none of this on the site, so there is nothing to fix. Pass 2 pt
Why we test this

There is none of this on the site, so there is nothing to fix.

Put your agent capabilities where agents look for them, rather than in a URL somebody has to be told about.

AIR-6.3 Can an agent tell what each form field is for?There is none of this on the site, so there is nothing to fix. Pass 2 pt
Why we test this

There is none of this on the site, so there is nothing to fix.

An agent filling in your form has to know what each field is for. Labels, names and autocomplete tokens are how it finds out.

AIR-6.4 Can an agent search and filter without meeting a captcha?No search or filter surface in the sample returned a challenge. Pass 2 pt
Why we test this

No search or filter surface in the sample returned a challenge.

Challenge the actions that need challenging. Searching and filtering are not those actions, and a captcha there ends the visit.

Why we test this

4 of 4 sampled pages have a Markdown companion at {path}.md returning a Markdown content type.

A clean Markdown version of each page: none of the navigation, none of the markup a model has to wade through to reach your words.

AIR-7.2 Does each page point to its Markdown version?100% of sampled pages advertise a Markdown alternate in the head. Pass 2 pt
Why we test this

100% of sampled pages advertise a Markdown alternate in the head.

Publishing the Markdown is not enough. The HTML page has to point at it, or nothing will ever find it.

Why we test this

5 of 5 URLs serve Markdown for Accept: text/markdown, 5 with a correct Vary: Accept.

Ask the same URL for Markdown and get Markdown back. One address, two representations, no second set of links to maintain.

Why we test this

4 of 4 generated representations show evidence of an edge cache hit on a repeat request.

Generated representations should come from the CDN. Otherwise every request rebuilds them at origin, and you will turn them off when the bill arrives.

What we're measuring

Whether a channel group exists for AI assistant referrers is not visible from outside. Analytics presence is; the grouping is not.

Traffic from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and the rest lands in Direct by default, where it disappears. A channel group makes it countable.

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. That means adding the points column up will not give you the score exactly. The full accounting is always available: see every line of the arithmetic, unrounded.
