What we found

  • CRITICAL

    5 AI crawler(s) blocked

    Blocked: Applebot-Extended, CCBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot. Many teams block these by accident — see /docs/ai-bots/gptbot.

  • HIGH

    No canonical tag on the homepage

    A missing canonical lets duplicate URLs (UTM, trailing slash) split your authority.

  • MEDIUM

    No <h1> on the homepage

    Add a single H1 that names the page topic.

  • MEDIUM

    No llms.txt at /llms.txt

    llms.txt is the emerging convention that tells AI engines what to read first. Add one with the /tools/llms-txt generator.
