What is ShipReady?

ShipReady is a free SEO and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) scanner built for websites created with AI coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and v0. It audits your deployed site across seven categories, scores each one with a letter grade, and generates a copy-paste prompt you can feed right back into your AI tool to fix every issue.

How It Works

Enter a URL - Paste any live website URL
ShipReady scans it - Fetches the page, follows redirects, grabs robots.txt, sitemap, and llms.txt in parallel
35+ checks run - Across Meta & Head, Discoverability, On-Page Structure, Social Sharing, Performance, Structured Data, and AEO
Get your grade - Overall score (A-F) with per-category breakdowns and pass/warn/fail for each check
Copy the fix prompt - A single markdown prompt with every issue, code snippets, and guidelines ready for your AI coding tool

Seven Audit Categories

Meta & Head (23%) - Title, description, charset, viewport, canonical, favicon
Discoverability (19%) - HTTPS, robots.txt, sitemap, noindex, client-side rendering detection
On-Page Structure (19%) - Heading hierarchy, image alt text, internal links, content depth
Social Sharing (14%) - Open Graph tags, Twitter Cards, image dimensions
Performance (9%) - Render-blocking scripts, text compression, modern image formats
Structured Data (8%) - JSON-LD validation, schema type detection and suggestions
Answer Engine Optimization (8%) - AI crawler access, llms.txt, question headings, speakable schema, FAQ/HowTo markup

Why AEO Matters

Traditional SEO tools don’t check if ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude can find your content. ShipReady scans your robots.txt for blocked AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and more), checks for llms.txt, looks for question-style headings that answer engines can extract, and verifies you have enough content depth to get cited as a source.
