easy
high impact
Implementation Steps
- 1Create or edit your robots.txt file in your site's root directory
- 2Add specific rules for AI bots (GPTBot, Claude-Bot, etc.)
- 3Test your robots.txt at yoursite.com/robots.txt
- 4Monitor your server logs to verify AI bot access
Code Example
# Allow all AI bots to crawl your site
User-agent: GPTBot
Allow: /
User-agent: Claude-Bot
Allow: /
User-agent: PerplexityBot
Allow: /
User-agent: Google-Extended
Allow: /
User-agent: Bingbot
Allow: /
User-agent: facebookexternalhit
Allow: /
# Block AI bots from sensitive areas (if needed)
User-agent: GPTBot
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /private/
User-agent: Claude-Bot
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /private/
User-agent: PerplexityBot
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /private/

Implementation Steps
- 1Enable compression (gzip/brotli) on your server
- 2Optimize images with modern formats (WebP, AVIF)
- 3Implement proper caching headers
- 4Minimize JavaScript and CSS bundles
- 5Use a CDN for global content delivery
Code Example
// Next.js optimization example
// next.config.js
module.exports = {
compress: true,
images: {
formats: ['image/avif', 'image/webp'],
minimumCacheTTL: 60,
},
headers: async () => [
{
source: '/(.*)',
headers: [
{
key: 'Cache-Control',
value: 'public, max-age=31536000, immutable',
},
],
},
],
}
Pro Tip: Test your implementation using tools like Google's Rich Results Test, Schema Markup Validator, and your browser's developer tools to ensure everything works correctly.
