Ahrefs — what a crawler receives from ahrefs.com
Answer engines can reach and read this site. It needs more it can quote.
AI visibility 76/100, measured 2026-09-02 23:17 UTC from outside its network, as fifteen named crawler identities and one unnamed client. An engine can reach and read this site. What is left is giving it something specific to say.

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; one that cannot read it never quotes it. That is why reach is a ceiling and not just a weight.
Stage 1 · 40% of the score
Reach
Can a named answer-engine crawler get your pages at all?
Every named crawler was served the same page a browser gets.
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.
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 read, because the three run in order.
What to fix, in order
Findings first: each one holds the grade down until it is gone (the top one sets the letter). Then headroom: each one lifts the score by the points shown. Open a card for what we saw, why it matters and how to fix it.
Files, generated from this scan
Each file says at its top exactly what was changed or filled and what was left as a TODO. Publish, then re-scan: done is measured.
1robots.txt declares no sitemapNo Sitemap: directive present.Medium
What we saw
No Sitemap: directive present. /robots.txt
Why it matters
Adding one Sitemap: line lets crawlers enumerate the site instead of guessing at it.
How to fix it
Add a Sitemap: line to robots.txt pointing at the full sitemap URL, so crawlers find it without guessing.

2The homepage depends on files this site's own robots.txt disallows1 render resource referenced by the homepage is disallowed to every crawler by this site's own robots.txt: /cdn-cgi/scripts/5c5dd728/cloudflare-static/email-decMedium
What we saw
1 render resource referenced by the homepage is disallowed to every crawler by this site's own robots.txt: /cdn-cgi/scripts/5c5dd728/cloudflare-static/email-decode.min.js (/cdn-cgi/). A crawler that obeys robots.txt will not fetch these, so it renders the page without them. /robots.txt
Why it matters
Googlebot renders pages, and a stylesheet or script it is forbidden to fetch is rendered without. Layout, visibility and any content a script inserts are then judged from a page the site never intended to show. Only rules in the * group count here - a rule aimed at one named crawler is a narrower question.
How to fix it
Allow crawlers to fetch the CSS and JavaScript the page depends on. Remove the Disallow rules covering those paths, or serve the content without them.

3Almost nothing a machine receives from this page is readable text1% of 1,320,730 decompressed bytes is visible textMedium
What we saw
1% of 1,320,730 decompressed bytes is visible text
Why it matters
A crawler pays for every byte it fetches and can only quote the text. Under 5% readable content means an answer engine downloads the whole page and comes away with almost nothing it can use — the difference between being quotable and being skipped. The content-ratio row above passes at 20%, so without this a page at 2% and a page at 19% were scored identically.
How to fix it
Move inline CSS and JavaScript into external files, drop unused page-builder styling, and make sure the words a visitor reads are in the HTML itself.

4Visitors and crawlers are being served an old copy of this pagethe copy served to us was built 8 hours 33 min agoLow
What we saw
the copy served to us was built 8 hours 33 min ago
Why it matters
The page handed to us carried a cache age older than an hour. Nothing is broken today — the copy matches what the origin produces. It matters the moment you change something: an edit, a new price, a corrected phone number stays invisible to every visitor and every crawler for about that long, and nothing in your dashboard says so.
How to fix it
Lower the cache lifetime on HTML (an hour or less), or purge the edge and origin caches after every publish so crawlers see the current copy.

5No llms.txtNot present.Note
What we saw
Not present. /llms.txt
Why it matters
Not a defect. llms.txt is an emerging convention for telling AI systems what a site is and which pages matter.
How to fix it
Publish /llms.txt: a short Markdown file naming the business, what it does, and the pages worth reading, served as text/plain or text/markdown.

Nothing here is broken. Each row is a measure that currently fails its optimal range, and what fixing it is worth to the score.

See the fix serviceThe chain a crawler follows
The chain breaks at llms.txt. Everything after that point is only reachable by a crawler guessing the conventional path.
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 1,320,730 decompressed bytes the homepage delivers, 1% is text a reader or a model can actually use. Most of what a crawler downloads here is not words.
