4% of this page's content never reaches an AI crawler.

224 words of the 6,012 a browser renders never reach an AI crawler. An assistant answering a question about this page never sees them.

Both panels are the main text of the same page, counted the same way and fetched twice at the same moment: once as an AI crawler asks for it, with no JavaScript, and once in a real browser. Both panels open to the full text. Text only one side has is highlighted.

30 further passages are highlighted in the browser panel above.

Longest first. A passage counts as missing when its text appears nowhere in the HTML a crawler receives, so a block that merely moved is not listed. Lines under 4 words are not judged either way, because a match on "Get Started" would be chance rather than evidence.

Where this score comes from

Four weighted parts, and the arithmetic is on the page. Nothing here is rounded in your favour, and anything the scan could not measure says so rather than being folded in as a guess.

Your HTML is readable, but an access issue keeps some AI crawlers from using it. See the fixes below.

A critical issue is holding this page back. The grade above does not tell the whole story: start with the critical item below.

Part Weight Measured Points
Prose Parity 50% 91% 45.6
Crawler access 25% 0% 0
Structure 15% 77% 11.5
Structured data 10% 40% 4
45.6 + 0 + 11.5 + 4 61.1 Read the methodology

Retrievability, measured at 91%, sits beside the score rather than inside it: it checks whether the rendered words can be recovered from the crawler's HTML at all, including from JSON data blocks, and it informs the findings below without adding points.

See if AI recommends you

We ask one AI engine three questions a buyer would ask about your kind of business, and show you whether apnews.com is named, who is named instead, and the sources it cites. Free, one per email.

We use the email only to send that one link and to keep it to one free check per address.

Your next move

Do this first

6 things are holding this page back. These are the 3 worth doing first, in order.

  1. Critical robots.txt blocks AI search crawlers

    Allow the AI search crawlers you want citations from (they fetch to answer user queries, not to train).

    The crawlers that feed AI search results skip you, so you cannot appear as a cited source when people ask AI about your market.

    See the evidence for this robots_block_search

    up to +10
  2. Major robots.txt blocks AI assistant user agents

    Assistant user agents fetch on behalf of a human asking about you; blocking them removes you from those answers.

    When a buyer asks an assistant about your business, it cannot fetch your page and answers from other sources instead.

    See the evidence for this robots_block_assistants

    up to +10
  3. Major Server-level blocking of AI crawler user agents

    Requests with AI crawler user agents get blocked at the edge. Review CDN/WAF bot rules if you want AI visibility.

    AI systems are stopped at the door, so none of your content is available for them to summarize or recommend.

What to know about this measurement 7 notes on what was and was not measured

  • The network never went quiet, so the page was captured on the load event instead.
  • The load event did not fire either, so the page was captured once the DOM had parsed, after a longer pause for hydration.
  • A cookie consent overlay (CybotCookiebotDialog) was still present at extraction; some rendered text may sit behind it.
  • robots.txt disallows AI search crawlers (Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot): -0.4
  • robots.txt disallows AI assistant user agents (Claude-User): -0.4
  • server-level blocking observed for ClaudeBot, Claude-SearchBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Meta-ExternalAgent, Bytespider, CCBot: -0.20 (confidence-scaled)
  • Cross-origin iframe content is excluded from both views by design.

  • Blocked at your server

    Your server answered this crawler's user agent with a block instead of the page, and your robots.txt disallows it as well. The two are consistent, but reputable crawlers stop at the server either way and the scan deducts Access score for it. Servers that verify crawler IPs will block a spoofed user agent from any scanner; the real crawler may pass.

  • Server may be blocking this

    Your robots.txt welcomes this crawler, but your server answered its user agent with a block. Nothing in your rules asked for that, so this is more likely blanket bot defense reacting to our test request than a rule aimed at this crawler, and the scan records it at low confidence. Servers that verify crawler IPs will block a spoofed user agent from any scanner; the real crawler may pass.

  • Blocked by choice

    Your robots.txt tells this crawler not to read the page. This one only collects pages for model training, so the block costs you nothing here: it keeps your content out of training sets and does not affect whether AI can answer questions about you today.

  • Reaches your page

    Your robots.txt allows this crawler and your server returned it the same page it returns to a browser. This measures access, not content: whether that HTML is readable without JavaScript is a separate check, scored as retrievability when the page can be graded.

  • Allowed

    Your robots.txt allows this token. It is a robots.txt token only: it sends no user agent of its own, so there is no server response to test and none is implied.

AI-readiness checklist 5 of 7 basics in place

The page basics an assistant needs, checked against what an AI crawler receives rather than the rendered page. These feed the Structure part of the score above.

  • Title tag The page has a title, which is the first thing an assistant names it by. Pass
  • Meta description A meta description is present, which is the summary an assistant may quote. Pass
  • One H1 heading Not exactly one H1. A crawler reads the page subject from its single H1; use one. Needs work
  • Canonical URL A canonical link tells a crawler which URL is the real one. Pass
  • Heading coverage Headings cover the content, so a crawler can index it by section. Pass
  • No wall of text No single block is too long to parse cleanly. Pass
  • llms.txt No llms.txt. It is informational only, a nice-to-have rather than a ranking factor. Needs work
  • Structured data Found WebSite, NewsMediaOrganization, which tells an assistant what this page is. Pass

What is holding you back, worst first

Ranked by severity, worst first. Start at the top: fix the critical items and the rest compounds.

Major

robots.txt blocks AI assistant user agents

robots_block_assistants up to +10

When a buyer asks an assistant about your business, it cannot fetch your page and answers from other sources instead.

What this means for you

Your site turns away the AI tools that look you up live when someone asks a question about you.

The fix, technically

Assistant user agents fetch on behalf of a human asking about you; blocking them removes you from those answers.

Evidence from your pageClaude-User: Disallow: /

Major

Server-level blocking of AI crawler user agents

ua_enforcement up to +5

AI systems are stopped at the door, so none of your content is available for them to summarize or recommend.

What this means for you

Your security or hosting layer blocks AI crawlers before they can reach your pages.

The fix, technically

Requests with AI crawler user agents get blocked at the edge. Review CDN/WAF bot rules if you want AI visibility.

Evidence from your pageClaudeBot got HTTP 402; Claude-SearchBot got HTTP 402; Claude-User got HTTP 402; PerplexityBot got HTTP 402; Perplexity-User got HTTP 402; Meta-ExternalAgent got HTTP 402; Bytespider got HTTP 402; CCBot got HTTP 402. Servers that verify crawler IPs will block a spoofed user agent from any scanner; the real crawler may pass.

Minor

Page does not have exactly one H1

h1_count +2.3

AI crawlers can misread the page's main subject, weakening how confidently they match it to the questions buyers actually ask.

What this means for you

Your page is missing a single clear main heading that says what it is about, or it has several competing ones.

The fix, technically

Use a single H1 stating what the page is about.

Evidence from your pageFound 0 H1 elements in the initial HTML.

Make the page extraction friendly. Titles, headings, and block structure decide how retrieval systems chunk and quote you. We restructure pages so the right passages surface.

Get a structure pass
Minor

No llms.txt

no_llms_txt +1.2

A handful of assistants will read this file if it exists, so adding it gives you a small extra chance of being understood correctly at no cost, though most tools ignore it today.

What this means for you

Your site does not include the optional plain-text guide that some AI assistants look for to understand what your business is about.

The fix, technically

Informational only. Independent 2026 data (Ahrefs, SE Ranking, Google documentation) shows no measurable citation effect from llms.txt. It is checked because it costs nothing and some assistants read it, but it moves neither crawling nor ranking.

Evidence from your pageNo llms.txt at the site root.

Minor

Structured data uses no recognized business type

unrecognized_schema up to +6

AI assistants find no labeled business facts to extract, so they fall back to guessing from your prose or skip you for a competitor with proper structured data.

What this means for you

Your page has structured data, but it is only generic page or site markup (like WebPage or WebSite), not the business types AI uses to understand who you are and what you offer.

The fix, technically

Add a recognized business type (Organization, Product, Article, FAQPage, or BreadcrumbList) with its required properties, so AI can extract your business facts.

Crawler-view structured data

Entity confidence

We parsed the JSON-LD in the HTML a no-JavaScript crawler receives and checked five properties of the identity it declares. This measures your markup, not any AI system's behavior: nobody outside those systems can observe what they do with a given property, so nothing here is a prediction. Scored separately from your 61.1/100 score.

100/100 Anchored An identity node is present and declares at least one absolute identifier, an @id or a sameAs URL. We check the shape, not the destination: nothing is fetched. 5 of 5 signals present
  • Present: Identity declaredFound NewsMediaOrganization "Associated Press News" with an absolute url, in the HTML a crawler receives. We require all three, a type, a name and a url, before counting an identity as declared.
  • Present: External identifiers (sameAs)6 distinct absolute sameAs URLs on your identity node. schema.org defines sameAs as a reference page that "unambiguously indicates the item's identity", so each one is a statement that this entity and that page are the same thing.
  • Present: Stable identifier (@id)Your identity node carries @id https://apnews.com/#publisher, an absolute URI that other nodes on this page and documents elsewhere can reference.
  • Present: Logo declaredAbsolute logo URL on your identity node. Google's Organization documentation, updated 2026-04-15, lists logo among its recommended properties and states that the markup can influence which logo is shown in Search results and the knowledge panel.
  • Present: Category declaredYour identity node is typed NewsMediaOrganization, which is more specific than a bare Organization, so the category is stated in the type itself.

All 5 signals are present in the HTML a crawler receives, so there is nothing here for us to hand you. Keep the block in the initial HTML: markup a crawler gets only after JavaScript runs is markup this check would score at zero.

What each signal measures, the weights, and the sample behind them: the methodology page.

llms.txt This site serves none

This site serves no llms.txt. Informational only. Independent 2026 data (Ahrefs, SE Ranking, Google documentation) shows no measurable citation effect from llms.txt. It is checked because it costs nothing and some assistants read it, but it moves neither crawling nor ranking.

Keywords and prompts

Derive the questions people ask AI assistants where this page could be the answer, scored by how much of each the page actually covers, then test whether a named model brings the brand up at all. The scan you are reading is free and anonymous; this check asks a real model live, so it asks for an email.
