Findings with evidence

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.

Improve0 H1 headings

No <h1> in the HTML we received.

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

Fix61 characters of text without JavaScript

Text starts: "PDF.ai | Chat with PDFs &amp; PDF API (parse, extract, split)"

Fix: Many AI crawlers do not run JavaScript. Render the main content on the server or prerender it.

Time to response headers from our checker. Final URL: https://pdf.ai/

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