AI Website DetectorWe couldn’t read the page, so we couldn’t look for traces.
AI traces: Couldn’t check
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.
How we test it · Every builder we know · How to tell if a site was built with AI
AI access
AI Crawler CheckerIts robots.txt answered with a server error, which keeps every crawler out.
We couldn’t read its page: its robots.txt asks bots like ours to stay away.
We couldn’t check enough of the site to score its AI readiness: the score needs its home page.
What to fix
robots.txt
Now Answered with a server error, which crawlers read as “stay away”.
Make robots.txt answer with its rules, not a server error.
Details
Why it matters: A robots.txt that answers with a server error tells crawlers to stay away from the whole site.
Prompt for your coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, your builder’s chat)https://waitrose.com/robots.txt answers with a server error, which crawlers read as "stay away from the whole site". Make it answer with status 200 and the site’s rules as plain text, or with 404 if the site has no rules.
Optional: a fix few sites have yet
Files for AI agents
Now None of the 8 we look for.
If agents could use the site, publish what they need where they look.
Details
Why it matters: Agents act for people: they look for these files to know what a site lets them do. Worth it only if agents can use the site.
Prompt for your coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, your builder’s chat)If AI agents could use https://waitrose.com for its visitors (to search it, book, buy or sign in), publish what they need at the standard addresses, and only what the site really offers: an MCP server card at /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json if it runs an MCP server, an API catalog at /.well-known/api-catalog (RFC 9727) listing its public APIs, and OAuth protected resource metadata at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource (RFC 9728) if agents sign in.
Left out of the score, as we couldn’t check them: Text without scripts, Search listing, Title and description, Structured data, Sitemap, llms.txt, Links for AI tools, Markdown copy.

If this is your site
- Decide what AI may do with the site, and say it in robots.txt. Write the lines
Of the 1,585 popular sites we’ve checked since 29 Oct 2026, 11% have a page drawn by scripts, 3% 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.
