The full breakdown

Snapshot of the homepage measured on 28 October 2026 with the same live crawl as the free LLMready audit. A high score means AI engines can reach, read and understand a site. It doesn't guarantee citations — those also depend on authority, relevance and the question being asked. Sites change — run a fresh audit for today's result.
