We scored major websites on AI readiness. A national newspaper got 33/100.

A recent audit found that many websites, including a national newspaper, are not AI-ready. This matters because AI assistants like ChatGPT are becoming a referral channel and can't read sites that don't follow basic guidelines. To fix this, check for a plain-text file (llms.txt), ensure AI crawlers are allowed in robots.txt, and verify a sitemap is in place. This can be done manually in 30 seconds or with a tool like llms.txt Checker.
