Each check is one of three kinds. ACCESS BLOCKER without it AI systems cannot fetch or trust the page. BEST PRACTICE makes the page easier to read, summarise and attribute; widely recommended, not a guarantee. OPTIONAL CONVENTION a proposed convention some tools honour and some, by their own statement, do not use. Checks that do not apply to this page are marked N/A and left out of the score.
AI Crawler Access

ACCESS BLOCKER30 / 30 PTSAll tracked AI crawlers are permitted.
Machine Discovery
1 to fix12 / 15 ptsRSS/Atom feed
OPTIONAL CONVENTION0 / 3 PTSMissing. A feed is a conventional way to announce new articles to any tool that polls for them.
Optional: expose an RSS/Atom feed for articles/updates.
Examples by platform
- WordPress
- WordPress serves /feed/ for posts by default. Ensure the theme outputs the <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"> tag (add_theme_support('automatic-feed-links')).
- Next.js
- Add app/feed.xml/route.ts that returns RSS from your posts, and a <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"> in the root layout.
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="/feed.xml" title="Blog" /> - Shopify
- Blogs are at /blogs/<handle>.atom by default; add the <link rel="alternate"> tag in theme.liquid.
- Webflow
- CMS collection settings → RSS feed: on. Then add the <link rel="alternate"> tag in the site’s custom head code.
VALIDATE Re-run the scan after the change; this check reads PASS once the rule above is met, and the saved result link updates with the new score.
llms.txt file
OPTIONAL CONVENTION8 / 8 PTSPresent. llms.txt is a proposed convention (llmstxt.org): a curated, plain-text map of the site for language-model tools. Some tools read it; Google states its Search does not use it. Checked https://stripe.com/llms.txt.
XML sitemap
BEST PRACTICE4 / 4 PTSPresent. A sitemap lists every page for crawlers. Declared in robots.txt: https://stripe.com/sitemap/sitemap.xml.

Article/FAQ schema
BEST PRACTICENOT COUNTEDNot applicable: this page is not an article URL and has no FAQ-style headings, so Article/FAQ schema is not expected here. Not counted in the score.
Content Citability
1 to improve23 / 25 ptsSingle H1
BEST PRACTICE2 / 4 PTS2 H1 tag(s) found.
Exactly one H1 that answers 'what is this page'.
Examples by platform
- WordPress
- Check the theme: many output the site title as an H1 on every page plus the post title. Set the site title to a <p> or <div> in the header template.
- Next.js
- Exactly one <h1> per page; the logo/wordmark in the layout should be a <span> or <a>, not an <h1>.
- Shopify
- Theme header often wraps the store name in <h1>; change it to <div class="h1"> in header.liquid so only the page title is an H1.
- Webflow
- Designer → select the heading → set tag; use one H1 per page and H2 for sections.
VALIDATE Re-run the scan after the change; this check reads PASS once the rule above is met, and the saved result link updates with the new score.

Aura's technical checklist: deterministic, site-side checks of whether AI systems can fetch, read and attribute this site. It is not a prediction of how often they cite it. Each check is labelled as an access blocker, a general best practice, or an optional convention, and checks that do not apply to a page are left out of its denominator. Measured mentions and citations are a Monitor feature: sampled daily across live AI engines and reported with sample sizes and confidence intervals, because one run is not a rate.
