30/100 AI-readiness

www.tripadvisor.com (official site, from public records) · can the AI crawlers read the site? Checked by code, not by a model.

AI assistants can read pages when answering (robots.txt):No answer-time fetcher is fully blocked; ChatGPT (OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User), Perplexity (PerplexityBot), Microsoft Copilot (Bingbot) are kept out of parts of the site.
AI models may train on the site (robots.txt):OpenAI (GPTBot), Anthropic (ClaudeBot), Google Gemini (Google-Extended), Common Crawl (CCBot), Apple (Applebot-Extended), Meta (Meta-ExternalAgent), ByteDance (Bytespider) are blocked, so future versions of these models will not learn about the brand from its own pages (Common Crawl feeds many models' training sets). A deliberate choice for many brands: it does not stop assistants reading the site when answering, but what they know from memory then comes from other people's pages.
llms.txt for AI assistants:Not found. An llms.txt gives AI tools a reliable, curated summary of who you are.
