Gaps

  • high
    11 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
    3 agents get a degraded pageGooglebot: Different content than humans receive · PerplexityBot: Different content than humans receive · Perplexity-User: Different content than humans receive
  • 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
    Google-Extended not listedYou block other training crawlers but Gemini training via Google-Extended is still allowed. Add it to the same group if the policy is meant to be even-handed.
  • info
    Canonical points elsewhereCanonical is https://www.spiegel.de/. Indexes will credit that URL, not this one.
