llms.txt checker

llms.txt is a markdown file at the root of your site. It tells AI assistants what your site covers and which pages matter. Enter a domain to see if yours is there. Free. No signup.

We read your homepage, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, and llms.txt. Nothing else. Results are cached for 6 hours.

Questions

What counts as a valid llms.txt here?

The file must load at /llms.txt with status 200, start with a # heading, and not be an HTML page. Some servers send their home page for missing files. We catch that.

Do I need llms.txt?

No search engine requires it. It is a proposed standard. It costs little to add and gives AI tools a clean summary of your site.

What does the check test?

Six things: llms.txt, AI crawler access in robots.txt, JSON-LD schema, sitemap.xml, a meta description, and text readable without JavaScript. The score runs from 0 to 100.

Which AI crawlers do you check?

GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and CCBot. We read your robots.txt and test each one against your homepage.

Is it free?

Yes. No signup. Results are cached for 6 hours.

What do you read on my site?

Your homepage, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, and llms.txt. Nothing else.
