Gaps

  • high
    14 of 14 AI agents are blockedAssistants asked about this page will guess, or cite someone else. Deliberate for a paywalled publisher. Otherwise this is the biggest gap on the list.
  • medium
    Bot-management challenge served to crawlersGPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, Claude-SearchBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Meta-ExternalAgent, Amazonbot, Bytespider, CCBot received an interstitial instead of the page. A robots.txt rule is an honest block. A challenge hides the page without saying so.
  • low
    No llms.txtOptional, but a short curated index at /llms.txt is the cheapest way to tell assistants what matters on this site.
  • info
    Canonical points elsewhereCanonical is https://www.dailymail.com/auhome/index.html. Indexes will credit that URL, not this one.
