v0.0.9: Measured Status, Readable Charts & Polite Crawling

The status page reports measured system state, every chart carries a text equivalent for screen readers, and every page we fetch on your behalf obeys robots.txt.

Status

A status page backed by measurements

The status page reports each component from live checks (the database, scan and notification job outcomes, overdue work, and scheduled-job heartbeats) rather than a static list. Anything that cannot be measured is not listed at all.

Accessibility

Charts everyone can read

Every chart carries a caption and a visually-hidden data table, so screen-reader users get the figures rather than an unlabelled graphic. Muted text and outline buttons were re-tuned at the same time to clear the WCAG AA contrast ratio on every surface.

Crawling

Polite crawling

Every page we fetch on your behalf (the site audit, the content grader, the domain-verification check) reads the target’s robots.txt first, honours the most specific rule that applies to us, re-checks after every redirect, and waits out a declared crawl delay between fetches, up to a two-second cap. If robots.txt cannot be reached, we treat that as “do not crawl” rather than as permission. The AI crawlers guide covers how crawlers reach your site and how to welcome them.

Blocking GPTBot is not one decision: it's three, because training crawlers, search crawlers and user-triggered fetchers are different bots with different costs. Conflating them is how publishers accidentally removed themselves from AI answers.

What SEO Teams Should Stop Doing First

Most AEO advice for SEO professionals is additive: here are more tactics. The subtractive list is more useful: which well-drilled habits carry over to answer engines, which do nothing, and which actively mislead. Covers rank tracking, keyword-led prioritisation, E-E-A-T audits, crawler access and schema.

Your Server Logs Know Which AI Crawlers Visited. Most Teams Never Look.

Access logs are the only first-party evidence you have that AI systems are reading your site at all. Here's what they can prove, the verification step almost everyone skips, and the two questions logs genuinely cannot answer.
