What it tells AI crawlers
It gives no Content Signals and no “noai” tag.
Like 25% of the 973 popular sites whose robots.txt we’ve read since 29 Oct 2026, it keeps at least one AI training crawler out. Of the 1,193 popular sites we’ve checked since 29 Oct 2026, 9% have a page drawn by scripts, 4% send a Markdown copy, 10% have an llms.txt and 4% offer a file for AI agents. How many websites block AI crawlers?
We read the site once, as our named bot: its robots.txt, read as crawlers read it, its home page and the files AI tools ask sites for. What we couldn’t read says so. robots.txt asks and doesn’t enforce: a firewall can treat AI crawlers differently from us.
