NovelAI — what a crawler receives from novelai.net

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

Answer engines can technically reach this site, but get little they can use.

AI visibility 70/100, measured 2026-09-18 19:17 UTC from outside its network, as twelve named crawler identities plus an unnamed client and two mobile-browser controls. An engine can technically reach this site and would struggle to get anything quotable out of it.

Held at C A medium-severity finding sets the letter.

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.

92

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.

80

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.

32

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, because the three run in order.

What to fix

5 findings on this site, 1 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

3.3% of 152,394 decompressed bytes is visible text, and the largest single block is inline css at 50,536 bytes

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.

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

The chain a crawler follows

The chain breaks at llms.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 152,394 decompressed bytes the homepage delivers, 3.3% is text a reader or a model can actually use. Most of what a crawler downloads here is not words.

  • Readable text 3.3% · 4,990 B
  • Markup & attributes 50.9% · 77,603 B
  • Inline CSS 43.7% · 66,585 B
  • Inline JavaScript 1.8% · 2,795 B
  • Inline SVG 0.3% · 405 B
  • HTML comments 0% · 16 B

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