What the check reads
Your robots.txt tells each crawler what it may visit. We read the rules for the six AI crawlers above and report the ones that are shut out of the whole site.
The word count is the text a crawler gets from your raw HTML, with scripts and styles removed. The crawlers behind ChatGPT and Claude do not run JavaScript. If your homepage builds its text with scripts, as sliders, tabs and some page builders do, those words never reach them.
Why WordPress sites end up blocking AI by accident
Nobody sets out to hide from ChatGPT. It usually happens one of these ways:
- A security plugin or a CDN adds a bot rule, and it catches AI crawlers too.
- A theme or an SEO plugin writes its own robots.txt.
- Someone copies a “block AI” snippet without checking what it covers.
If you want AI assistants to recommend your business, these crawlers need to get in, and your text needs to be in plain HTML they can read.
What a move to static HTML changes
On a static site every word is in the HTML the server sends. There is no builder markup to dig through and no script that has to run first. You decide exactly which crawlers to allow, in one short file.
Questions about this check
Which AI crawlers does this check?
GPTBot and OAI-SearchBot from OpenAI, ChatGPT-User (when someone asks ChatGPT to open a page), ClaudeBot from Anthropic, PerplexityBot, and Google-Extended, which controls whether Google may use your content for Gemini. Google-Extended does not affect Google Search.
My robots.txt allows every bot. Can AI assistants still miss my site?
Yes. A firewall, a security plugin or a CDN setting can block a crawler before it ever reads robots.txt, and text that only appears after JavaScript runs is invisible to crawlers that don’t run scripts. The full report looks at both.
Should I add an llms.txt file?
It is a proposed standard that gives AI tools a short, plain map of your site. Few assistants read it today, so it is a small bonus, not a fix. Plain, readable HTML matters far more.
