What an AI crawler gets 0 words

Nothing. The HTML this page serves carries no readable main text, so a crawler that does not run JavaScript receives an empty page.

82% of this page's content never reaches an AI crawler.

288 words of the 352 a browser renders never reach an AI crawler. The chance to get cited by AI is very low to near zero.

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. The panel with more text than fits opens to the full text. Text only one side has is highlighted.

28 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.

Why a crawler does not get this, and the fix

When an AI crawler visits your page it receives a nearly empty shell, because your words only appear after a browser runs the site's code, which crawlers do not do.

The fix Server-side render or statically generate the page so the main content ships in the initial HTML.

Full impact and the evidence from your page

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.

AI crawlers see little of what your visitors see.

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% 0% 0
Crawler access 25% 90% 22.5
Structure 15% 77% 11.5
Structured data 10% 0% 0
0 + 22.5 + 11.5 + 0 34 Read the methodology

Retrievability, measured at 0%, 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.

This page scores higher than 5% of the 1,174 sites we have measured. That puts it in the bottom 10 percent. See the index.

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 aircanada.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 Main content is invisible to AI crawlers

    Server-side render or statically generate the page so the main content ships in the initial HTML.

    AI assistants cannot see what you sell or say, so when a buyer asks about your kind of business they get told about competitors whose pages are readable and you are left out entirely.

    See the evidence for this csr_blank

    up to +50

  2. 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.

    See the evidence for this ua_enforcement

    +2.5

  3. Major No structured data in the initial HTML

    Add JSON-LD (Organization plus the types matching your content) server-side.

    AI assistants are left to infer what you do and routinely favor competitors whose facts are stated in a form they can read.

    See the evidence for this no_schema

    up to +10

3 more findings below, ranked the same way.

Estimated gain is the sub-score arithmetic applied to this page, not a prediction about citations. Clearing the first item alone would move this page from 34 to at most 84.

Bot access matrix 12 of 15 AI crawlers worth a look, none blocked in a way that costs you

Every AI crawler we track, and what your site does when it asks for this page. Turning a model training crawler away is a choice, not a fault, so those are marked apart from the blocks that cost you score.

  • 12 worth a look
  • 3 can reach this page

Nothing is fully blocked. 12 rows need a second look before you call this clean.

  • 15 / 15 named crawler tokens allowed in robots.txt
  • 0 / 12 live probes got the page (HTTP 2xx)
  • 3 rule-only or not probed, so no server response to read

Reaching a page is not the same as reading it. The crawlers marked allowed here are let in and receive the same HTML a browser gets, but on this page that HTML is a near-empty shell until JavaScript runs. What they can actually read is scored separately: see Main content is invisible to AI crawlers below.

  • 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.

  • 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 No JSON-LD structured data found. It is how AI reads your identity and content type; the entity section below has a copy-paste starting point. Needs work

What is holding you back, worst first

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

Critical

Main content is invisible to AI crawlers

csr_blank up to +50

AI assistants cannot see what you sell or say, so when a buyer asks about your kind of business they get told about competitors whose pages are readable and you are left out entirely.

What this means for you

When an AI crawler visits your page it receives a nearly empty shell, because your words only appear after a browser runs the site's code, which crawlers do not do.

The fix, technically

Server-side render or statically generate the page so the main content ships in the initial HTML.

Evidence from your pageOnly 0% of the rendered main content exists in the initial HTML (352 rendered tokens vs 0 raw tokens).

Fix the rendering gap. We move the content AI engines miss into the initial HTML: server rendering, static generation, or hydration restructuring, measured before and after with this scanner.

Major

Server-level blocking of AI crawler user agents

ua_enforcement +2.5

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 pageGPTBot got HTTP 520; OAI-SearchBot got HTTP 520; ChatGPT-User got HTTP 520; ClaudeBot got HTTP 520; Claude-SearchBot got HTTP 520; Claude-User got HTTP 520; PerplexityBot got HTTP 520; Perplexity-User got HTTP 520; Meta-ExternalAgent got HTTP 520; Bytespider got HTTP 520; CCBot got HTTP 520; Amazonbot got HTTP 520. Servers that verify crawler IPs will block a spoofed user agent from any scanner; the real crawler may pass.

Review your crawler access policy. We map which AI systems you are blocking, deliberately or by accident, and align robots.txt, CDN rules, and directives with the visibility you actually want.

Major

No structured data in the initial HTML

no_schema up to +10

AI assistants are left to infer what you do and routinely favor competitors whose facts are stated in a form they can read.

What this means for you

Your pages do not include a plain, labeled list of your core business facts that AI systems can read directly.

The fix, technically

Add JSON-LD (Organization plus the types matching your content) server-side.

Evidence from your pageNo JSON-LD blocks in the initial HTML.

Ship structured data that parses. We add server-rendered JSON-LD with the required properties for your content types, validated by the same checker that graded this page.

Get schema implemented
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

URL redirects off the original domain

offsite_redirect

The scores here describe that other site, so your own page is not the one AI is reading about you.

What this means for you

The web address you entered sends visitors to a different website.

The fix, technically

The scanned URL redirects to a different domain; scores describe the final target.

Evidence from your pageaircanada.com redirected to www.aircanada.com (2 hop(s)).

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 34/100 score.

0/100 Not declared No identity node in the HTML a crawler receives. 0 of 5 signals present
  • Identity declaredNo JSON-LD in the crawler-view HTML, so there is no identity node to read. Add an Organization block with a name and an absolute url.
  • External identifiers (sameAs)Measured on the identity node, and no identity node was found. Declare one first, then add sameAs URLs to it.
  • Stable identifier (@id)Measured on the identity node, and no identity node was found. Declare one first, then give it an absolute @id.
  • Logo declaredMeasured on the identity node, and no identity node was found. Declare one first, then add logo as a full https URL.
  • Category declaredMeasured on the identity node, and no identity node was found. Declare one first, then state a category as a specific type, a standard industry code, or a resolvable additionalType URL.

Starting point for your identity block

Built from this scan: the URL we resolved, plus one property for each signal above that we did not find. Every REPLACE_ value is a placeholder, so edit them before you ship this. We do not guess names, logos, profile links or categories, so nothing here is invented. 

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "@id": "https://www.aircanada.com/#organization",
  "name": "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_ORGANIZATION_NAME",
  "url": "https://www.aircanada.com/",
  "logo": "REPLACE_WITH_AN_ABSOLUTE_HTTPS_URL_TO_YOUR_LOGO",
  "sameAs": [
    "REPLACE_WITH_A_URL_THAT_IDENTIFIES_THE_SAME_ENTITY"
  ],
  "additionalType": "REPLACE_WITH_A_CATEGORY_URL_OR_DELETE_THIS_LINE"
}
</script>

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.
