## Quick Answer

An AI readiness checker reviews whether a website has crawlable pages, clear metadata, AI-readable resources, and content structures that make answers easier to extract.

## AI Summary

TruboRank AI evaluates technical and content readiness signals for AI systems, including discovery files, bot access, Markdown alternatives, and answer-focused page structure.

## What This Checker Analyzes

- crawl access
- sitemap and important page discovery
- AI-readable page alternatives
- structured answer sections
- technical blockers that reduce machine readability

## Why It Matters

AI-ready websites are easier for crawlers to fetch and easier for answer engines to summarize. Readiness does not guarantee visibility, but it can reduce friction.

## Common Issues

- Content hidden behind heavy JavaScript
- No clear summaries or FAQs
- AI bots blocked unintentionally
- No machine-readable documentation
- Weak internal links to key pages

## How To Use This Checker

Start with a live scan of your website URL. Review the status of each signal, then fix the highest-impact blockers first. Technical blockers should usually be handled before content optimization because AI systems need access before they can evaluate page quality.

1. Run the free scan on your homepage or a high-value page.
2. Review crawl access, sitemap discovery, headers, and AI-readable resources.
3. Open each warning and confirm whether it affects important public content.
4. Fix server-level issues such as robots.txt, Link headers, and content types.
5. Improve page-level content with direct answers, summaries, FAQs, and internal links.
6. Re-run the scan after changes to verify the result.
