Findings with evidence

FixHomepage serves a bot challenge page to automated clients

Our checker got a challenge page instead of your content: Ironclad® Performance Wear | The Best Work &amp; Safety Gloves. Findings below describe that page, not your real homepage.

Fix: AI crawlers get the same challenge and cannot read your site. In your CDN or firewall (Cloudflare, Akamai, Imperva), allow verified AI search bots, or lower the bot protection level on public pages.

FixNo llms.txt

GET /llms.txt returned 404.

Fix: Create /llms.txt: a # title, a > one-line summary, then ## sections that list key pages as [name](url). Draft one free at checkaiready.com/llms-txt-generator.

FixNo JSON-LD structured data on the homepage

No <script type="application/ld+json"> block in the HTML we received.

Fix: Add an Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD block to the homepage with name, url, logo, and sameAs links. The $19 report includes a ready-to-paste block for your site.

FixOpen Graph: missing og:title, og:description, og:image

og:title: missing
og:description: missing
og:image: missing

Fix: Add <meta property="og:title" content="..."> <meta property="og:description" content="..."> <meta property="og:image" content="...">. Chat apps and AI tools use these for link previews.

Improve0 H1 headings

No <h1> in the HTML we received.

Fix: Use one <h1> that states the main topic of the page.

FixNo sitemap found

robots.txt has no Sitemap: line.
GET https://ironclad.com/sitemap.xml returned 404.

Fix: Publish /sitemap.xml and add "Sitemap: https://ironclad.com/sitemap.xml" to robots.txt.

ImproveServer responded in 983 ms

Time to response headers from our checker. Final URL: https://ironclad.com/

Fix: Slow responses can make crawlers give up. Add page caching or a CDN in front of the homepage.

ImproveHTML size 195 KB, 56 script tags

3 render-blocking scripts in <head>: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/webfont/1.6.26/webfont.js

Fix: Add defer or async to scripts in <head> that are not needed for first paint.
