Fastly answers for this domain. Where a crawler above is refused while robots.txt allows it, the rule is applied by that edge, not written by the site — see how often each edge does this.

What to change, in order

  1. Publish sitemap.xml and llms.txt
    sitemap.xml and llms.txt are missing, so an assistant has to discover the site by following links. llms.txt is the emerging convention for telling an assistant which pages actually matter.

Method. 5 live HTTP requests (one per crawler, one as a browser) plus robots.txt, llms.txt, sitemap.xml and security.txt, 12-second timeout each, from a single vantage point. Blocking AI crawlers is a legitimate choice, not a failure: this page records what is true, not what should be. Domain comes from the Tranco research list. One page per domain — the homepage — is audited.
