Technical Analysis audits your site for the issues that keep AI crawlers from reading it. It gives the site a health score, lists each issue, shows which AI crawlers your robots.txt allows, and shows how the crawlers spent their requests. Open it from the Analysis group in the menu: Technical Analysis.

​
How the audit works

The audit checks the pages that the last crawl stored. It also reads your robots.txt, your sitemap and your llms.txt, and it renders a sample of pages. The checks are in three areas:
  • Crawlability: can a crawler reach your pages?
  • Renderability: does a crawler see the content without JavaScript?
  • Parseability: can a crawler understand the content?
The audit runs after each successful crawl and again on a schedule. It needs a completed crawl. When no page has been crawled, the page shows No pages have been crawled yet. See Content analysis to run a crawl.

Read the score

When the audit is done, the score and the issue list appear.
There is one audit or crawl at a time for each site. The number of audits depends on your plan. See pricing.

​
Health score

The gauge shows a score from 0 to 100: Each check has a weight. A failed check lowers the score by its weight and by the share of pages that fail it. Below the gauge, you see the number of critical, medium and low issues, and the number of pages examined and rendered. When a check cannot run, it is not part of the score. A note below the issue list gives the number of these checks.

​
Issue list

The Issue list shows each issue, with the most severe first. Each row has a title, a description with the affected pages, and one of these:
  • Fix: opens the tool that fixes the issue.
  • manual: no tool fixes this issue. Fix it on your site.

​
The checks

In the titles, N is the number of affected pages and GPTBot is an example of a crawler name.
For the structured data issues, use the Schema Generator to write the JSON-LD.

​
Bot Access Status

This panel shows each AI crawler that Perquery watches and what your robots.txt says about it:

​
Crawl Budget

This panel shows what each AI crawler requested from your site in a recent period. The panel title gives the number of days. It needs the access logs of your web server. When you have not uploaded logs, the panel shows No bot logs uploaded yet. Click Upload bot logs to go to LLM bot logs.
Use the export menu on the Issue list and Bot Access Status panels to download the data as CSV or Excel.
