What does 'AI ready' actually mean for a website?
An AI-ready website makes its public information understandable to software as well as people. That starts with crawlable pages, clear business details and useful content. Machine-readable files and discovery links can help agents find their way around.
Signals, not guarantees
This test checks signals, not guarantees. A passing score does not promise rankings, AI citations or recommendations. Answer engines still choose what to retrieve and trust.
What does this AI readiness checker test?
We inspect your homepage, response headers, crawl files and common discovery endpoints. Your report groups the findings so you can separate basic website fixes from tools built for apps. A missing signal means we did not confirm it during the scan.
The checks are based on the same open standards scanned by Cloudflare's isitagentready.com. This is our own implementation, with bounded requests and time limits, not a copy of its results or an endorsement. The agent score is separate from the overall site audit score.
Discoverability
/robots.txt
/sitemap.xml
/llms.txtrobots.txt tells crawlers which paths they may visit. A sitemap lists pages worth finding. We check for a valid robots file and confirm a sitemap. Keep yours current so crawlers can find your important pages.
Link headers can advertise documentation or alternate machine-readable content before a crawler parses a page. DNS-AID uses DNS records to point agents towards discovery resources.
llms.txt is a text guide to useful content. We look for a readable file rather than a normal HTML page served at that address. Keep the guide short, accurate and linked to pages you maintain.
Content
Accept: text/markdown
Content-Type: text/markdownMarkdown for agents / content negotiation means serving a text/markdown version when requested through the Accept header. We test that response, rather than assume a page with a download link supports negotiation.
Structured data (JSON-LD) labels entities and content types in a machine-readable format. We detect typed JSON-LD. Check the details yourself: your business name, services and contact information should match your visible pages.
Bot access
User-agent: *AI bot rules pass when robots.txt names AI crawlers or has a
User-agent: *group. Wildcard rules apply to AI bots without their own group. Named bots pass whether allowed or blocked; the report shows their access to your root path. Without a readable file or usable AI or wildcard groups, this check fails.Content Signals let you say yes to search and AI answers but no to training. Choose those preferences for your business. Keep search and user agents unblocked if you want them to read your pages when someone asks about you.
Web Bot Auth discovery can advertise signature keys for identifying bots. Treat this informational check as a discovery hint, not request authentication.
Agent tools
/.well-known/agent-skills/index.jsonAn Agent Skills index helps software discover supported tasks. WebMCP exposes page actions to browser agents; we look for implementation markers in your page or its first same-origin module entry. Use these tools when you have a real task for an agent to complete.
An ARD ai-catalog describes machine-readable capabilities. Finding a discovery document is the first step; test the capabilities separately. A simple brochure site rarely needs these newer tools.
The Apps & APIs checks cover an API catalog, OAuth discovery and protected-resource metadata, an MCP server card, an A2A agent card and auth.md guidance. They matter if you run an API, login or app. They are informational and do not lower a trades website's score when absent.
Is my website agent ready if it ranks on Google?
Not necessarily. Google visibility and agent compatibility overlap, but they are not the same test. A site can have useful indexed content without markdown responses or tool discovery. It can also expose discovery files while offering thin service information.
Visibility and compatibility are different
Check both: useful service information for your customers, and clear discovery signals for agents.
How is the score worked out?
Your agent readiness score is the rounded percentage of scored checks passed. Informational and neutral checks are excluded. Scored checks have equal weight, including newer agent-tool signals. Prioritise what serves your visitors rather than chasing every point.

Is my website good? What the full audit checks
A separate view of your website’s health, beyond AI discovery.
The full picture
Your report also covers speed, on-page SEO, local signals, mobile, conversion and privacy. These checks inspect public responses. For measured visitor performance or legal compliance, you need a separate review. Open each finding for the method and next step, or use the full site check on our homepage.
How do I make my website AI ready?
Start with the basics your visitors need. Add agent tools only where they serve a real purpose.
Make your information accessible
Start with accessible public pages and sensible crawl rules. Describe your services, service areas, contact details and answers to real customer questions. Then fix your sitemap and add accurate business schema. Add a useful llms.txt and markdown representation where your platform supports them.
Choose tools that fit your business
Review your bot policy. Add discovery headers and tools only when they describe something real. A trades site needs the basics, not an MCP server. Wardorx builds agent-ready sites for trades and businesses in Calgary. Our AI search visibility service connects this technical work with useful, verifiable business content.
Want it fixed instead of explained?
We build sites that pass these checks as standard, with agent tools matched to your business. Book a call and we'll walk through your report. You'll leave knowing which fixes to prioritise and which features you can skip.
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about the checks, your score and what to do next.
Yes. Enter your public website address. No account or email required. You get an agent readiness score and a separate site audit. Rate limits and firewalls can limit scans.
No. Passing shows that we found the technical signals we test. It does not prove that an AI service crawled your pages, trusts your business or will cite or recommend you.
Blocking training crawlers is a business choice. Blocking AI search and user agents such as OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User and PerplexityBot means those tools cannot read your pages when someone asks about you. Content Signals let you say yes to search and AI answers but no to training. This check passes with named AI bot rules, allowed or blocked, or a User-agent: * group that applies to AI bots too.
It is a proposed plain-text guide to a site's useful pages and resources. Use it to point supporting agents towards your service pages, documentation and key facts. It is not required for Google indexing. Fix your core content first.
Not for a typical trades website. An MCP server exposes tools or data to connected AI clients. Use one when your app or API needs those connections. For a business website, put clear service pages, crawl access and accurate contact details first. Its discovery card is informational here.
Wardorx checks the same open discovery standards and adds a separate audit for SEO, local signals and website basics. We are independent, not affiliated. Request limits and scoring can produce different results.
