Article Forge — what a crawler receives from articleforge.com

Answer engines are being served something other than this site.

AI visibility 53/100, measured 2026-09-18 00:19 UTC from outside its network, as twelve named crawler identities plus an unnamed client and two mobile-browser controls. An answer engine cannot use this site. Whatever else is true of the marketing, the machine layer is shut.

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.

42

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.

67

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.

54

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 reach, because the three run in order.

What to fix

5 findings on this site, 2 of them scored serious. The top one is below in full, free. Which the other 4 are, what we saw, and the bytes behind each one are what a licence buys — or we implement the whole list for you.

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

The chain a crawler follows

The chain breaks at robots.txt. 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 103,430 decompressed bytes the homepage delivers, 37.9% is text a reader or a model can actually use. That is a healthy share.

  • Readable text 37.9% · 39,215 B
  • Markup & attributes 42.6% · 44,102 B
  • Inline JavaScript 17.4% · 17,996 B
  • Inline SVG 0.6% · 593 B
  • HTML comments 1.5% · 1,524 B

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

  • Inline JavaScript · 5,655 B (5.5%) — unnamedopens $(document).ready(function() { $(".samples-btn-hero").click(function()
  • Inline JavaScript · 3,672 B (3.6%) — unnamedopens // toggle slider function v1 // function wordToPlanv1(word) { switch (
  • Inline JavaScript · 3,213 B (3.1%) — unnamedopens // toggle slider function v2 // function wordToPlanv2(word) { switch (

Dispute or re-scan

If a reading here is wrong, it is our instrument that is wrong, and we want to know. Tell us what is wrong and the site is re-measured; the result is published as measured. Nothing about a listing, a payment or a request changes a number.
