AI legibility scores for 596 websites, published in full.

The 596 websites on this page describe the open dataset only, which counts the websites published in the file as of its generated date, September 21, 2026, while the living benchmark on the press page counts every website scored to date and keeps growing.

The highest score in the file is 71.5. No website in the file reached the Leading band (80 and above).

The scanner reads each page as it is served, checks separately whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and OAI-SearchBot are allowed in, and scores 5 categories: can AI find you (crawler access, rendering, sitemaps), read you (structured data accuracy), follow you (architecture and internal links), quote you (answer ready copy) and trust you (entity consistency). The total is the share of available points, 0 to 100. Rankings, traffic and mention data play no part, which is why a well known site can score low and a small one high. The bands: Starting Point 0 to 39, Developing 40 to 59, Established 60 to 79, Leading 80 to 100. Our own score is published on the same scale.
