The result comes in under a minute, with ready-made fixes." url: "https://adinspire.com/en/apps/high-five-ai/" lang: "en" published: 2026-10-29 updated: 2026-10-30 --- # High Five, AI! Test your site for AI bots Check your site in the app: [high5ai.app](https://high5ai.app) ## Why it matters More and more people ask AI assistants instead of typing questions into Google. AI answers are becoming a source of traffic. For your site to appear in them, an AI bot first has to reach it and read its content. Two things can quietly break that. **The first is JavaScript.** [A Vercel study](https://vercel.com/blog/the-rise-of-the-ai-crawler) of server logs showed that the bots of OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity do not run JavaScript. If the content of your site is built only in the browser, the bot gets an empty shell. A person sees an article, the bot sees nothing. **The second is a firewall.** Cloudflare [blocks AI bots by default on new domains](https://www.cloudflare.com/press-releases/2025/cloudflare-just-changed-how-ai-crawlers-scrape-the-internet-at-large/). Thousands of sites are invisible to AI because of this, and their owners do not know, since nobody switched anything on or off. On top of that come an old robots.txt file, hosting rules and bot protection built into the CDN. ## What we check The test has five areas. Each gets its own colour, and the first four make up one verdict. The fifth is informational. | Area | What we check | |---|---| | Bot access | The robots.txt file for 23 AI bots, a real test from our server, and detection of the firewall (Cloudflare, Vercel, AWS and others). | | Content without JavaScript | How much text is visible without running scripts, whether there is navigation and a sitemap, and how meta robots is set. | | English version | The hreflang tags and the presence of a version under /en/. | | Common Crawl | Whether the site is in the archive that models learn from. | | Model readability | E-mail masking, identity data (schema), content date and content structure. The area is informational and does not change the overall verdict. | Robots.txt is a file where a site tells robots whom it lets in. We check it separately for each of the 23 AI bots, because letting one in does not mean all of them are let in. The file alone is not enough, so we also run a real test: we request your site from our server as if we were a bot, and see whether we get the content or a block. The content area shows what a bot that does not run scripts will see. If only an almost empty document is left after the page is downloaded, the result will be weak, even when everything looks fine in a browser. The other three areas, the English version, Common Crawl and model readability, do not decide whether a bot gets in. They show whether models have a chance to find and understand your site. Model readability is only information and does not change the overall verdict. ## How to read the result - **Green** means a high five. Bots get in and read the content. - **Yellow** means needs work. Bots have access, but something weakens the result. Every problem has a ready fix, step by step. - **Red** means bots will not get in, or will not be able to read the site. With a green result you get the High Five, AI! Approved seal with the name of your domain. With yellow and red there is no seal, only a list of things to fix. For each problem you can open "How to fix it": a short explanation, the steps, sometimes a ready code snippet with a "Copy" button, and a link to the documentation. ## An honest caveat The bot test is a simulation. From our server we send requests that claim to be known AI bots (the so-called User-Agent). It is a strong hint, but not proof. A real bot may arrive from another address, and the firewall may treat it differently. Only your server logs give certainty. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do you check llms.txt? No. No major AI bot reads it today, and measurement results do not confirm it. That is why we do not check it. ### How often should I check? After every change of hosting or CDN and after every redesign. Beyond that, at least once a quarter, because Cloudflare changes its default settings, and a site that was open yesterday may be closed today. ### My result is red. What now? Every problem in the result has fix instructions. Most blocks are removed with one switch in the CDN panel, so start with the items marked urgent. ## For developers The High Five, AI! tool is also available as an API: you send a site address and get back a verdict and a list of problems with fixes. The API is available commercially. [Get in touch](mailto:mch@adinspire.com) if you want to build it into your tool or process.
