What to fix first
- The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +10 points
Requests as GPTBot (http_429), ClaudeBot (http_429), PerplexityBot (http_429) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. How to fix it
