How do I look up a check, a term or a crawler?
Open Learn in the header. Everything we check lists every check a scan runs, by course; Glossary explains each term in plain English; AI crawlers lists the crawlers a scan looks for in robots.txt. From a report, Read more about on an open check goes straight to that check’s own page.

Look up a check
Press Learn, then Everything we check. Every check is listed under its course, with why it matters and what good looks like. Jump to a course takes you to one course. Under each course’s name, a question such as “What makes a page easy for AI to quote?” opens that course’s own page, which lists its checks and says whether they count toward the score. Where a check has its own explainer, Read more about opens it.

Go from a report to its check
On a report, open any check under Course by course. Where the check has its own explainer, the row ends with Read more about and the check’s name: it opens the same page as Everything we check does.

Look up a term
Press Learn, then Glossary. The row of letters jumps to the terms under each one. To narrow the list, choose a subject under Topic; All topics brings everything back. A term with its own check ends with Checked by: and the check, which opens its page.

Look up a crawler
Press Learn, then AI crawlers. The table gives each crawler’s token, who runs it, what it is for, whether its maker says it follows robots.txt, and the date we last read the maker’s own page. Under What it’s for, choose Training, Search index or User-triggered to see only those, or All. Tick Only crawlers whose maker says they follow robots.txt to narrow it further.

See what changed in how we score
The Changelog, linked at the foot of every page, lists what we changed, newest first. Under Area, choose Reporting, Checks, Site scans or Scoring, or All. A change marked May move scores is one that can move a score; if yours moved between two scans, check the entries between their dates. Link to this entry gives each one its own address.
