Built with AI?
AI Website DetectorNo AI builder traces found.
Coding tools such as Cursor leave no traces, so this doesn’t mean a person made it.
AI traces: None found
How we know
AI site builders leave traces in the sites they make. We look for the traces of 53 of them and show every match with the line it came from, so you can check it yourself.
We test this on 2,275 sites whose makers we know, and publish what we get wrong.

What it offers AI agents
These matter for sites with an API or a sign-in.
It offers none of them: an API catalog, sign-in details for AI agents, an auth.md, an AI catalog, an MCP server, an agent card, Agent Skills or agents named in DNS.
If this is your site
- Add an llms.txt: a short summary of the site, in Markdown, for AI models.
- List a sitemap in robots.txt, so crawlers find every page.
- Decide what AI may do with the site, and say it in robots.txt. Write the lines
Like 68% of the 1,691 popular sites whose robots.txt we read in October 2026, it keeps no AI training crawler out. 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.
