Reading your result
What the result means
- Readiness score
- A weighted score out of 100. Crawler access and indexability count most, because nothing else matters if bots can't read the page. 80 and above means the technical basics are in place.
- Search and answer crawlers
- Bots that fetch pages for search results and AI answers, such as Googlebot, Bingbot, OAI-SearchBot and PerplexityBot. Blocking them keeps you out of those answers. ChatGPT-User and Perplexity-User fetch on a user's request and treat robots.txt as advisory, so they appear in the table for information and are not scored.
- AI training crawlers
- Bots that collect content to train models, such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot and CCBot. Blocking them is a legitimate choice; it trades content control for how well future models know you.
- Content readable without JavaScript
- How much text sits in the raw HTML. Many AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so a page that builds its content in the browser can look empty to them.
- Organization or LocalBusiness entity
- Structured data that states who you are: name, logo, address and official profiles. It helps search engines and AI systems describe your brand correctly.
- llms.txt
- A proposed file that summarizes your site for AI tools. Support is limited and unconfirmed, so it's scored lightly.

Questions about this tool
Something else on your mind? Email grow@noorscale.com and a person will reply within one business day.
How do I check if ChatGPT can crawl my website?
Run your domain through this checker and look at OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User and GPTBot in the crawler table. OAI-SearchBot decides whether pages can appear in ChatGPT search results, ChatGPT-User fetches pages when someone asks about them, and GPTBot collects training data.
Should I block AI crawlers in robots.txt?
No, not the ones that power search and answers, if you want AI assistants to recommend you. Blocking training crawlers like GPTBot or CCBot is a business decision: it protects your content but means future models learn less about your brand.
Does blocking Google-Extended remove me from AI Overviews?
No, Google-Extended doesn't control AI Overviews. AI Overviews are part of Google Search and follow Googlebot's rules; Google-Extended controls use of your content for Gemini training and grounding.
Do I need an llms.txt file?
No, it isn't required, and support among AI engines is limited and largely unconfirmed. It's a short Markdown file that's cheap to add, so it can be worth having, but fix crawler access, server-rendered content and structured data first.
Why does my site score well but still not appear in AI answers?
This checker covers the technical basics: whether AI systems can reach and parse your site. Being cited also depends on what your content says, how clearly it answers buyer questions, and how often trusted sources mention you, which a crawler check can't measure.
Is the checker safe to run on my site?
Yes, it makes a handful of ordinary GET requests, about the same as one visitor loading a few pages. It identifies itself as NoorscaleReadinessBot, sends no cookies, and doesn't store your results beyond a 10-minute cache.
