Can AI assistants read science20.com?

Measured on 2026-09-19 by asking the site 7 times — once as a browser, once as each of the 6 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.

A85 / 100

What to change, in order

  1. Let in the 1 crawler your own robots.txt already allows+1 crawler
    Amazonbot is turned away before reading the page (served a bot challenge instead of the page), while robots.txt permits it — so this block is not written in your site. No CDN signature was found in the response headers, so the refusal comes from the origin server itself or from a WAF this index does not recognise. Fixing it takes this domain from 5 to 6 of 6 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.

Method. 7 live HTTP requests (one per crawler, one as a browser) plus robots.txt, llms.txt, sitemap.xml and security.txt, 12-second timeout each, from a single vantage point. Blocking AI crawlers is a legitimate choice, not a failure: this page records what is true, not what should be. Domain comes from a shop-platform seed (Shopify/WooCommerce/Magento/BigCommerce/Shopline fingerprint or JSON-LD price), not the Tranco traffic ranking. One page per domain — the homepage — is audited.
