llms.txt
Inspect published llms.txt files, heading and link signals, and the optional full-content file.
View as MarkdownThis check inspects your website's root /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt files. Use it to verify what is already published, not to create a file inside EqualAI or prove that an assistant consumes it.
Check published files
- Open GEO Optimization for the intended project.
- Choose Generate llms.txt. Despite this action label, the current tool analyzes the website's files; it does not generate, download a newly authored file, or deploy one.
- Review Status, Size, Sections, Links, and Checks.
- Read llms.txt Content, when available, to confirm that the fetched version is the one you intended to publish.
The files are fetched from the site's root, even if the project's page URL contains a deeper path.
Interpret the score
| Signal | Points |
|---|---|
| Successfully fetched, nonempty llms.txt | 45 |
| At least one Markdown heading at levels 1–3 | 15 |
| At least one Markdown link | 25 |
| Successfully fetched, nonempty llms-full.txt | 15 |
If the main llms.txt is absent, the analyzer's score is zero even if a full-content file exists. History can present a missing file without a numeric score rather than as a completed quality assessment.
Sections and links are counted using text patterns. The check does not open every linked destination, assess the accuracy of your descriptions, or certify conformance with every interpretation of the llms.txt convention. A high score is not proof of AI indexing or citation.
Publish or improve your file
Create or edit the file in your website's publishing system. Describe the site clearly, organize useful public resources with Markdown headings, and link to their canonical locations. Include only information intended to be public. An optional llms-full.txt can expose longer material if that fits your publishing policy.
After deployment, verify that the root file is publicly reachable and rerun the check from Optimization to save a new result. EqualAI does not synchronize edits made in a local file or upload content to your host.
Resolve an unexpected result
- Missing file: check the exact root path, server response, and whether access restrictions or anti-bot challenges prevented retrieval.
- Zero sections or links: inspect the fetched text for recognizable Markdown headings and links rather than only an HTML error page.
- Old content: compare the analyzed time and use Refresh for a new displayed analysis. Rerun from Optimization when you need a new saved history entry.
Export downloads analysis JSON, not a newly generated llms.txt. Share copies an access-controlled report link. See Optimization report controls.
