How to use the llms.txt checker

  1. Enter the site root URL (https://example.com/).
  2. We request /llms.txt and report HTTP status, size, and parsing notes.
  3. Use the glossary entry for background on the convention.

An llms.txt file is not a sitemap. List only public pages you are comfortable having quoted, with short titles and optional markdown links. Keep robots.txt and noindex rules authoritative—this file does not override them.

Run the check

Public HTTP(S) URLs only, no query strings. Fetches /llms.txt on the host root. Rate limits apply.

Monitor site files

Save the site in Traffivio to repeat read-only fetches on a schedule.

What this check does not do

We do not crawl llms-full.txt, validate Markdown syntax, or compare the file to your sitemap. A 404 here only means the root path is missing—not that your site blocks AI crawlers.

Questions

What file does this fetch?

Only https://your-host/llms.txt for the host you enter. It does not crawl the whole site.

Is llms.txt required for SEO?

No. It is an emerging convention for AI crawlers, not a Google ranking requirement.

Do I need an account?

No. These tools work without signing in. Rate limits apply per visitor.

Does Traffivio change my site?

No. Server tools only fetch public URLs. Counters run entirely in your browser.
