Adept — what a crawler receives from adept.ai

Website measurement, not a product review. This page records what machine clients received from adept.ai. It does not evaluate Adept software, features, pricing or support.

AI assistants are being shown something other than your site.

AI visibility 65/100, measured 2026-11-02 10:07 UTC from outside its network, as each named AI and search crawler and as a browser. An engine can technically reach this site and would struggle to get anything quotable out of it.

The three stages, in the order an engine hits a site

Each stage gates the next: an engine that cannot reach a page never reads it, and one that cannot read it never quotes it.

79

Stage 1 · 40% of the score

Reach

Can a named answer-engine crawler get your pages at all?

At least one answer engine was refused, challenged or served less than a browser.

79

Stage 2 · 30% of the score

Read

Once it has the bytes, can it find the words?

The content is buried in markup, or the files that guide a crawler are missing.

33

Stage 3 · 30% of the score

Quote

Is there a specific fact it can state and attribute?

An assistant would have to paraphrase your page instead of quoting a fact.

The stage to fix first is quote, the lowest of the three.

What to fix

6 findings on this site, 3 of them scored serious. Every one is named below; the top one is shown in full, free. What we saw, why each matters, how to fix it and the bytes behind it are what a licence buys — or we implement the whole list for you.

1 High 2 Medium 3 Note

1No XML sitemap foundNo sitemap at any conventional path and none declared.HighDeveloper

What we saw

No sitemap at any conventional path and none declared.

Why it matters

Without a sitemap, discovery depends entirely on internal linking. Orphaned and recently published pages may never be found.

How to fix it

Publish a sitemap at /sitemap.xml (most CMSs generate one) and name it in robots.txt.

Developer: a template, theme or application change — a developer touches it

Fix it with a coding agent

Paste into Claude Code, Cursor or Codex, opened on the code that serves this site.

You are working in the codebase (or server/CDN configuration) that serves adept.ai. A crawler audit found the problem below. Fix it at the source, keep the change as small as possible, and do not change anything a visitor sees unless the fix requires it.

Finding: No XML sitemap found (NO_SITEMAP_FOUND, high severity)
Page: https://adept.ai/
What was measured: No sitemap at any conventional path and none declared.
Why it matters: Without a sitemap, discovery depends entirely on internal linking. Orphaned and recently published pages may never be found.
How to fix it: Publish a sitemap at /sitemap.xml (most CMSs generate one) and name it in robots.txt.

Full report (markdown): https://crawlcheck.io/r/rgtu9dmvhh.md

When you are done:
1. Tell me which files or settings you changed and why.
2. If the fix is a server, CDN or cache setting you cannot change from the code, say exactly where it is set.
3. After deploying, re-scan at https://crawlcheck.io/?url=adept.ai . The fix counts when NO_SITEMAP_FOUND is gone from the new report.

The signed answer lists every match.

The chain a crawler follows

The chain breaks at sitemap. Everything after that point is only reachable by a crawler guessing the conventional path.

✓robots.txtEvery crawler reads this first
✗sitemapNamed in robots.txt and resolves
✗llms.txtPoints onward, links stay on this host
✗entity graphParses as JSON and points home

A machine file that does not parse is worth less than one that is absent, because it looks present. Rows behind this.

Where the bytes go

Of the 41,530 decompressed bytes the homepage delivers, 7.7% is text a reader or a model can actually use. Most of what a crawler downloads here is not words.

  • Readable text 7.7% · 3,187 B
  • Markup & attributes 72.3% · 30,033 B
  • Inline CSS 1.3% · 522 B
  • Inline JavaScript 5.3% · 2,218 B
  • Inline SVG 13.3% · 5,538 B
  • HTML comments 0.1% · 32 B

The individual blocks that weigh the most, so the fix is a search rather than a hunt:

  • Inline SVG · 2,769 B (6.7%) — unnamedopens <path class="letter-A" d="M0 163.455H37.0961L51.7027 124.388H119.287L1
