# Agent-Ready Websites

> An agent-ready website can be read and used by AI agents as easily as by people. Every page is server-rendered HTML with a clear structure, key facts are in structured data, crawler rules are deliberate, and machine-friendly versions such as an llms.txt file and markdown copies of each page make the site easy to parse.

This site is built that way. Every page has a markdown twin, and llms.txt lists them all.

## Why it matters now
AI agents browse, compare and increasingly act for customers. Sites that hide content behind JavaScript, pop-ups or inconsistent markup are harder for them to read, so they are easier to skip.

## What is included
- JavaScript-off rendering tests for every template
- Server-side rendering or prerendering for single-page apps
- llms.txt and llms-full.txt files built from your real content
- Markdown versions of key pages
- Deliberate robots.txt rules for each AI crawler
- Structured data for organization, services, products and FAQs

## How we do it
1. **Test like an agent.** Fetch pages without JavaScript and see what an AI crawler receives.
2. **Render on the server.** Move key content into the initial HTML.
3. **Add machine files.** Publish llms.txt, markdown twins and complete sitemaps.
4. **Set the rules.** Write a crawler policy that matches your goals.

## Deliverables
- Agent readability report
- Rendering fixes
- llms.txt and markdown files
- Crawler policy

## Who it is for
- Sites built on React, Vue or AI site builders
- Ecommerce catalogs that agents compare
- Businesses that want to be early to agent-driven buying

## Frequently asked questions
### Do AI companies actually read llms.txt?

llms.txt is a proposed standard and support varies by company. It costs little to publish and helps any agent or developer who looks for it, but server-rendered HTML and clear structure matter more.

### Will markdown copies of pages cause duplicate content problems?

Markdown files are offered as alternates for machines and are linked from the HTML page. We keep canonical signals on the HTML version so search engines treat it as the main page.
