Can AI assistants read ticotimes.net?
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.
B78 / 100
3 of 6 crawlers can read this page.

Sucuri 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
- Let in the 3 crawlers your own robots.txt already allows+3 crawlers
ClaudeBot, GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot are turned away before reading the page (served a bot challenge instead of the page), while robots.txt permits them — so this block is not written in your site. Sucuri answers for this domain. The Sucuri firewall blocks by user-agent in its access-control settings. https://docs.sucuri.net/website-firewall/ Fixing it takes this domain from 3 to 6 of 6 crawlers.
- 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.
- Mark the content with <main>
The content-reachability check scores 30/100: with no <main> or <article> landmark, or with most of the page outside it, an assistant reads the navigation and the footer at the same cost as the text it came for.
