Can AI assistants read wfmynews2.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.
F41 / 100
0 of 6 crawlers can read this page.
More readable than 4% of the 47,315 sites measured so far.
The text is drawn by JavaScript, which most crawlers never run.

Google 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 6 crawlers your own robots.txt already allows+6 crawlers
ClaudeBot, GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Meta-ExternalAgent, Amazonbot are turned away before reading the page (the connection never completed), while robots.txt permits them — so this block is not written in your site. Google answers for this domain. Look for the bot or user-agent rules in its dashboard: that is where the decision is made, not in robots.txt. Fixing it takes this domain from 0 to 6 of 6 crawlers.
- Put the text in the HTML, not only in JavaScript
The HTML that arrives is nearly empty and the content is painted by JavaScript. None of these crawlers run it, so even the ones that are served read a blank page. Server-rendering or prerendering the main content is what changes their result.
- Publish sitemap.xml and llms.txt
sitemap.xml and llms.txt are 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.
