Can AI assistants read hificorp.co.za?

Measured on 2026-09-19 by asking the site 9 times — once as a browser, once as each of the 8 crawlers that feed ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Meta AI, Apple Intelligence and Doubao — and comparing what came back. The AI-training opt-out tokens that never crawl are read from robots.txt instead.

What each crawler got back

Cloudflare answers for this domain. Where a crawler above is refused while robots.txt allows it, the rule is applied by that edge, not written by the site — see how often each edge does this.

What to change, in order

1. Let in the 1 crawler your own robots.txt already allows+1 crawler
   PerplexityBot is turned away before reading the page (answered with an HTTP error), while robots.txt permits it — so this block is not written in your site. Cloudflare answers for this domain. Cloudflare applies AI-crawler blocking at the edge, independently of robots.txt (Security → Bots, plus the managed robots.txt feature). https://developers.cloudflare.com/bots/concepts/bot/ Fixing it takes this domain from 2 to 3 of 8 crawlers.
2. Publish llms.txt
   llms.txt is missing, so an assistant has to discover the site by following links. llms.txt is the emerging convention for telling an assistant which pages actually matter.
3. Fix the plain structure: one <h1>, a title, a description, alt text
   The structure check scores 56/100. These are the cheapest signals on the page and the first ones an assistant uses to decide what the site is.
4. 5 crawlers are named and refused in robots.txt — a deliberate choice
   ClaudeBot, GPTBot, Meta-ExternalAgent, Amazonbot, Bytespider are blocked by a rule that names them. Nothing to fix here: this page records what is true, not what should be. It is listed so the deliberate part of the block is not confused with the accidental part above.
