Can AI read flagcounter.com?

flagcounter.com allows the AI search crawlers in its robots.txt, but the server's answer to a test request that named a crawler was inconclusive, so this check cannot say whether ChatGPT and Perplexity are able to read it. Read live from the site's own robots.txt with Google's reference parser, plus a user-agent test at the server.

?AI search crawlers can reach it
OAI-SearchBot and PerplexityBot are allowed in robots.txt. The control requests for the edge test did not complete, so whether the server refuses AI search crawlers is unknown.
✓Homepage is readable by crawlers
The page ships real text in its HTML, so an AI crawler can read it.
✗Has an llms.txt
No /llms.txt. It is an emerging, optional convention, not required to be cited today. You can generate one at https://ai-visibility.lastminutedealshq.com/llms-txt
About the crawlers named here: OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot. Each page has what the vendor says it does, the robots.txt lines, how many of the top 5,000 sites block it and how to verify a request.
