Scope
llms.txt checker
Checks presence or format of llms.txt.
AI discovery audit
Evaluates crawler policy, llms.txt quality, sitemaps and structured discovery signals.
Comparison
llms.txt checker vs. full AI discovery audit
Why AI crawlability depends on more than whether a single text file exists.
Failure modes
llms.txt checker
Can pass while crawler policy blocks important resources.
AI discovery audit
Separates policy accessibility from discovery readiness.
Change monitoring
llms.txt checker
Usually a one-time check.
AI discovery audit
Baseline comparison can identify crawler-policy regressions.
Actionability
llms.txt checker
Reports file-level findings.
AI discovery audit
Produces scores and recommendations for release or content teams.
Bottom line
A file checker is useful validation. A discovery audit is more appropriate when AI accessibility is an operational objective.
