Checks for the emerging /llms.txt convention for AI-readable site documentation.
This check looks for a file called 'llms.txt' at the root of your website (e.g., 'yourdomain.com/llms.txt'). This is a new, emerging convention — similar in concept to robots.txt — that provides AI systems with a human-readable overview of your website's content, purpose, and structure. It's designed to help large language models (LLMs) better understand what your site is about.
As AI-powered search becomes more common, having a clear machine-readable summary of your site can help AI systems accurately understand and represent your content. Think of it as an 'about me' page written specifically for AI — it helps ensure that when AI tools mention your business or cite your content, they get the facts right.
This is purely informational. Not having an llms.txt file will NOT affect your Google rankings or traditional SEO in any way. It's an emerging convention that is entirely optional right now. As AI search evolves, this may become more widely adopted, but for now it's simply a forward-looking best practice for early adopters.
