We ran our own site through our free AI-readiness checker: 9 passes, 3 warnings, one missing sitemap
The honest test of a tool is running it on yourself. We maintain a free agent-readiness checker ( https://agent-ready-check.t6y11a.workers.dev/ ) that looks at the HTML your server sends and reports the structure signals a simple AI crawler can see. This week we pointed it at PlainData ( https://plaindata-preview.t6y11a.workers.dev ), our own free calculators site, and fixed what it caught. Here…
We ran our own site through our free AI-readiness checker and received 9 passes, 3 warnings, and one missing sitemap. The checker is a free tool available at https://agent-ready-check.t6y11a.workers.dev/. After running the check, we made the necessary changes and fixed the 3 warnings. The final results showed a canonical link, JSON-LD structure, a sitemap with truthful lastmod dates, and a robots.txt file with permissive directives.
We also deliberately did not include machine-readable dates as the pages are tools, not articles. The checker did briefly report a false negative for the JSON-LD, which was later fixed. This tool is important because a free tool that gives false warnings is worse than no tool at all. The AI-readiness checklist only measures machine-checkable structure signals, which determine if a crawler can read a page cleanly.
The full check can be run on any site using the free checker at https://agent-ready-check.t6y11a.workers.dev/. The Clear Rank Studio, the makers of the checker, also offer two related workbooks for sale.
