Agent Readiness Check

Test whether your website is ready for AI agents. We check 8 standards that determine how well AI systems can discover, read, and interact with your site.

What we check:

robots.txt - Crawl control file exists
Sitemap - sitemap.xml exists and referenced
AI Bot Rules - Rules for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.
llms.txt - AI-friendly site overview file
LLMS Directive - LLMS: reference in robots.txt
Link Headers - RFC 8288 discovery headers
Markdown for Agents - Content negotiation support
JSON-LD Schema - Structured data on homepage

Based on MeasureBoard's independent research and scan of 100,000 top websites.

What is agent readiness?

A growing share of web visits now come from AI systems rather than people with browsers - assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity fetching pages to answer questions, and autonomous agents completing tasks on a user's behalf. Agent readiness measures how easily those systems can discover, read, and correctly interpret your site. A site that is easy for agents to consume is more likely to be cited in AI answers, which is where an increasing amount of buying research happens.

What this tool checks

The check covers eight published standards that AI crawlers and agents actually use: whether your robots.txt exists and how it treats known AI bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and others), whether you publish an llms.txt file that summarizes your site for language models, whether your pages offer a markdown version through content negotiation, whether Link headers advertise machine-readable alternatives, and whether your pages carry JSON-LD structured data that lets an agent extract facts without guessing. None of these require a redesign - most are a single file or header change.

When we scanned 100,000 of the web's most-visited sites, the vast majority had a robots.txt, but only around one percent supported markdown for agents - meaning early adopters still get an edge. The full findings and remediation steps are in our guide, Is Your Site Agent-Ready?, and if llms.txt is the piece you're missing, the llms.txt guide walks through creating one. MeasureBoard can also generate an llms.txt file for you and score your overall GEO readiness for free.
