Why was my private IP rejected?
- SSRF protection blocks loopback, RFC1918, link-local, and IPv6 ULA targets so the checker cannot be abused to scan internal networks.
-
?
Is HTTPS required?
- HTTPS is preferred for every fetch. If HTTPS fails, the tool may retry HTTP as a fallback for public hosts only.
-
?
Does a low score mean my site is down?
- No. A low score means agent-discovery signals are missing or incomplete. The host can still be online and serving HTML normally.
-
?
How do I improve the score?
- Publish a usable /llms.txt first (+20), add AI bot lines in robots.txt, then homepage rel=llms-txt or Organization JSON-LD. Add well-known MCP/OpenAPI only if you run agent or public APIs. Optional llms-full.txt adds +5.
-
?
Does a 100 score mean AI agents will crawl my site?
- No. 100 means all discovery signals we measure are present. Crawl, training, and citation decisions belong to each vendor and their robots policy—not this score.
-
?
Can I score well without MCP?
- Yes. llms.txt, robots AI lines, homepage hints, and optional llms-full can reach about 55 without any well-known or MCP smoke checks. MCP matters when you expose agent APIs.
-
?
If robots.txt Disallows AI bots, do I still get points?
- Yes for this tool: we award +15 when AI bot lines are present, including Disallow. That documents intent; it does not mean those bots always obey or that crawl stops everywhere.
-
?
Is there a rate limit?
- Yes. AI readiness checks are capped at roughly 10 requests per hour per IP to keep the free Sofia-hosted tool fair and safe.
