Re-audit this site

Audited page: https://vercel.com/

A re-audit publishes a new scorecard at its own address. This one stays where it is.

The seven checks

Each one is a thing an answer engine does before it can quote a page. The fix under a failed row is the whole of what has to change.

  1. AI crawler access— Pass.20/20

    All 9 major AI crawlers may read this site.

  2. llms.txt— Pass.8/8

    Found — you're handing LLMs a map of the site.

  3. Structured data (JSON-LD)— Pass.20/20

    Found 1 block: SoftwareApplication, Offer, Organization.

  4. Answer-shaped content— Fail.4/20

    0 question headings, 30 lists, 0 tables, no FAQ section. LLMs quote pages that already look like answers.

  5. Content extractability— Partial.10/17

    Only 3,656 chars of text reach the raw HTML (ratio 0.6%). Thin for machines.

    Server-render your key pages. If crawlers get a blank div, you don't exist.

  6. Metadata & identity— Pass.8/10

    Title ✓ · description (45 chars) · OG complete · canonical ✓.

  7. Sitemap— Pass.5/5

    Sitemap present — crawl paths are declared.
