Restricted by Design
◆52/100
This site restricts 22 of 40 AI search and answer crawlers by choice, in robots.txt.
Access policyMixed · OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI and Perplexity left open · enforced
This site appears to restrict AI crawlers on purpose — a valid choice many publishers and brands make (for example, keeping content out of AI training, or reserving it for the AI companies they have a deal with). If that’s deliberate, the site is working as intended. Read the verdict, not the number: the score still counts each blocked crawler, so a lower score is the expected result of that choice, not a failure to fix.
