Your site as a bot sees it
No colours, no layout, no animation: search engines and AI tools mostly read the raw text of your page, in the order of the code. Here is that text, and what bots cannot see.
Why the raw text matters
Your visitors see a design; bots read a document. Google, Bing, ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity understand your page through its text, its headings, its links and the alt text of its images. What looks obvious on screen (a price in a picture, a phone number in a banner image, a menu built by JavaScript) may simply not exist for them.
01
Text in the HTML
The server should send the text itself, not just a script that builds it later. It is the case with WordPress, Drupal and most classic sites.
02
Headings that tell the story
Read only the lines starting with #: do they summarise the page? That is roughly what a bot retains first.
03
Words in images
Text inside an image is invisible unless the alt text repeats it. Write important information as real text.
AI bots: block them or not?
There is no universal answer. Blocking training bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, CCBot) keeps your texts out of future models; blocking search bots (OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot) also removes you from the answers those tools give, links included. Many organisations allow search and block training. It is done in robots.txt, with one User-agent group per bot.
Frequently asked questions
How does a bot see my site?
The tool shows your page without styles or JavaScript, the way AI crawlers, Bing and Google on its first pass read it, before running JavaScript: text, headings, links, alt text, hidden text and content that only exists after JavaScript.
Why does the raw text matter?
Bots understand your page through its text, headings, links and image alt text. A price in a picture or a menu built by JavaScript may simply not exist for them.
What should I check first in the result?
Make sure the text is actually in the HTML, that the lines starting with # summarise the page and that important information is not only in images.
Should I block AI bots?
There is no universal answer. Blocking training bots keeps your texts out of future models, while blocking search bots also removes you from the answers those tools give. It is set in robots.txt.
