    Can ChatGPT read your website?

    Paste your URL. I will tell you exactly what GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot receive when they ask for your page, and give you a score. Free, in seconds, no signup.

    What it measures

    Four things, all of them checkable

    Server-side rendering

    Whether your content exists in the raw HTML or only appears once JavaScript has run. AI crawlers do not run it.

    Structured data

    Whether there is valid schema describing your business, your services and your prices.

    llms.txt and robots.txt

    Whether you have an explicit map for AI systems, and whether your robots.txt is turning them away without your knowing.

    Retrievable content

    Whether your answers are structured so a model can lift them and attribute them.

    What it does not measure

    It measures legibility, not citation

    Being readable does not guarantee being cited. The two are related and they are not the same thing, and any tool that blurs them is selling you something.

    It also works the other way round: sites that block AI crawlers outright still get cited, because a lot of retrieval happens from search results rather than from your server.

    So this tells you whether the machinery works. Whether ChatGPT actually names you is a different question, it needs asking the models directly, and it belongs in the paid audit rather than in a free scan.

    It also cannot run a browser, so it reports what a crawler receives as measured fact and whether a browser would see more as an inference, labelled as one.

    If the score is bad

    What happens then

    Then you know something your competitors probably do not know about themselves. The tool tells you what is broken. The twenty-minute call tells you whether it is worth fixing, and roughly what that would take.

    There is no pitch. If your business gains nothing from this, I will say so on the call and I will not charge you for hearing it.

    Questions

    Common questions

    Is it really free?

    Yes. No signup, no card, no email required to see the result. It runs deterministic HTTP checks, so it costs me almost nothing to run.

    Does it ask ChatGPT about me?

    No. It never calls a language model. Every check is an HTTP request and a parse, which is why the result is instant and why running it twice gives you the same score. Asking models whether they mention you is non-deterministic and expensive, and it belongs in the paid audit.

    Will this hammer my server?

    No. About fifteen requests, once, all at the same time. One scan per domain per hour globally, so a second person asking about the same site gets the cached result.

    Can I stop it scanning my site?

    Yes, and it takes one line in robots.txt. The bot documents itself, including exactly how to block it by name.
