An llms.txt file tells AI engines which pages carry your main content. The llms.txt Checker & Generator checks the file on your domain and builds a new file for you.

​
Check your live file

Open the tool. In the sidebar, under Tools, click llms.txt Checker & Generator. The Status check card reads https://<your domain>/llms.txt. It shows Found or Not found, and one row for each check. Each row shows PASS or FAIL. When a check passes, the row shows this text:
  • llms.txt is published
  • The file starts with an H1 title
  • A blockquote summary follows the title
  • Content blocks are defined
  • Sitemap is referenced
  • Contact or licence details are present
When a check fails, the row shows the opposite text, for example llms.txt is missing.

​
Generate a file

The generator uses the pages that Perquery crawled. Run a crawl from Content Analysis first.

Click Copy to copy the text, or click Download to save it as llms.txt.
To build the file again, click Regenerate.

​
What the file contains

  • An H1 title with your brand name.
  • A blockquote summary. Perquery uses the description of your home page.
  • Your crawled pages, grouped by page format. Each entry has a link and the page description.
  • A sitemap section, only when your robots.txt declares a sitemap.
  • A contact section, only when your site has a contact page.

​
Put the file on your site

Upload the file to the root of your domain, so that it opens at https://<your domain>/llms.txt. Then open the tool again and examine the Status check.

​
Measure the change

After you publish the file, click Add to Impact Tracking. The measurement starts on the go-live date. See Impact Tracking.

The check and the generator do not count against your plan’s allowance.
