Can AI read lefigaro.fr?
lefigaro.fr blocks OAI-SearchBot in its robots.txt, so ChatGPT cannot cite it. Read live from the site's own robots.txt with Google's reference parser.
OpenAI cannot index you for AI answers (robots.txt blocks OAI-SearchBot).

From the census: This site was also in our 5,000-site AI-crawler census (Tranco rank 831, collected 2026-09-07). Its robots.txt blocked 8 training crawlers and 2 AI-search crawlers we track at that time. The same census found 45 malformed User-agent lines in its robots.txt, an invalid product token that silently becomes an unscoped rule. See the full pattern.
