Technical checklist for AI-readable pages

Use this checklist before launching a new page or auditing an existing one. Each item makes the page easier for AI systems to fetch, understand, and cite.

Content and structure

  • Page has a single, descriptive H1 that matches the page's primary topic
  • Heading hierarchy is logical (H1 → H2 → H3, no skipped levels)
  • The most important information appears in the first 300 words
  • Key claims are stated as direct facts, not implied through design
  • Product/service names, pricing, and specifications are in plain text
  • Critical content is not locked behind tabs, modals, or scripts crawlers may not execute

Technical requirements

  • Page returns meaningful content in the initial HTML response
  • No relevant content is loaded via client-side fetch after initial render
  • JSON-LD structured data present and valid (test at schema.org/validator)
  • robots.txt does not block GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, or Google-Extended
  • Canonical URL is set correctly and does not redirect
  • Page loads in under 3s (slow pages get skipped by crawlers)
