AI Readiness · Rescoped to the evidence

What this check reads on your page

Five landmark elements are counted, article, section, aside, nav and main: which of them the page uses, how many of them it uses in total, and whether a main element or role=main marks the content region. The check then reads the visible text for a copyright notice, ©, 'all rights reserved' or 版權所有, and for a licensing statement such as Creative Commons, 'licensed under' or 授權條款. A link to llms.txt is detected and reported but scores nothing, because no major engine reads it.

Our verdict on the evidence

Rescoped to the evidence Rescoped to on-page machine-readability signals (semantic HTML, licensing clarity). The dead ai-plugin manifest check was removed and llms.txt stays informational only, because no major engine reads it.

This score reads tags, not layout, so a page whose main content sits in a plain div scores low here even when a human finds it in a second; the parsers that chunk on landmarks lose the same page the same way. It cannot tell you what an engine will do with a licence, only whether one is stated in words a parser can find. Nothing on this page needs a new file or a new service: every point is a tag already in the template, or a sentence in the footer.

How to fix it

  • Wrap the content in a main element and each self-contained piece in an article, with section elements for its parts.
  • Use nav and aside for the menu and the sidebar, so a parser can tell them from the content.
  • State the copyright in the footer, and if you permit reuse, say under which licence.
