About
Aeolith checks whether a website can be read, understood and quoted by AI answer engines — and then tells you exactly which of fifteen checks failed and what the fix is.
Why this exists
Search engines sent people to a page. Answer engines tell people what the page said, often
without sending anyone anywhere. That change broke a lot of assumptions that were quietly
built into websites: that a crawler runs JavaScript, that a sitemap is optional, that
robots.txt only matters for Google.
The failure is silent. Nothing 404s. Nothing looks broken. The site simply stops being the one that gets quoted. We built this to make that failure visible and to make the fix concrete.
What we believe
A measurement should be arguable. Every check returns the evidence that decided it. You can disagree with a specific check and see exactly what we saw.
Unreadable is not failed. If we cannot fetch your page, we say so. We will not turn our own timeout into your bad score.
The diagnosis is free. The check and the repair pack cost nothing and are yours to keep. What costs money is the part that needs our servers month after month: rechecking, keeping the history, and telling you when something regresses.
Publishing is opt-in. A domain is never listed publicly unless its owner asks. A score is a measurement, not a verdict to be broadcast under someone else's name.
Who runs it
Aeolith is an independent project. It is not affiliated with any search engine, AI provider or hosting company, and no AI vendor pays for a place in a report.
You can reach a human at hello@aeolith.com, or through the
contact page. Security reports have their own address,
security@aeolith.com, and a machine-readable description at
/.well-known/security.txt.
What this site does about its own advice
The page you are reading is served as HTML with its text in the first response, described
by JSON-LD, listed in a sitemap, and summarised in an llms.txt. That is deliberate: we
are not going to sell a standard we do not hold ourselves to. Our own report is public.
