Common Findings

​
”AI bots blocked in robots.txt”

What it means: Your robots.txt file explicitly blocks AI crawlers. Why it matters: If AI bots can’t read your content, they can’t recommend you. Quick fix: Edit your robots.txt to allow AI bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot).

​
”No schema markup detected”

What it means: Your pages don’t include structured data. Why it matters: Schema helps AI understand and correctly parse your content. Quick fix: Install a WordPress SEO plugin (Yoast, Rank Math) that adds schema automatically.

​
”Slow page load”

What it means: Your pages take more than 3 seconds to load. Why it matters: Slow pages may be deprioritized by AI crawlers. Quick fix: Optimize images, enable caching, consider faster hosting.
