Moderate AI visibility with 10 of 22 criteria passing. Biggest gap: content freshness signals.
Verdict
shortloop.dev shows a solid AEO foundation with an overall score of 51/100, anchored by strong machine-readability signals like llms.txt (10/10), canonical strategy (10/10), schema coverage/depth (9/10), and clean crawlable HTML (9/10). However, critical discoverability and freshness systems are missing, including sitemap completeness (0/10), content publishing velocity (0/10), RSS/Atom feed (0/10), and freshness date signals (0/10). Answer-first content formatting is also underdeveloped, with weak scores in Q&A structure (3/10), direct answers (3/10), and definition patterns (0/10), limiting extractability for AI answer engines. The site is technically credible but not yet optimized for sustained AI citation growth.

Guides for the criteria with the most room for improvement
Your homepage has perfect JSON-LD. Your other 200 pages? Zero. Here's how we measure the gap -and why AI engines judge your whole domain by it.
No date on your page? AI engines treat it like a rumor -undated and deprioritized. Here's how we audit whether your timestamps are actually machine-readable.
Sitemaps tell crawlers what exists. RSS feeds tell them what changed. If you don't have one, your new content waits days -or weeks -to be discovered.
Same content, three URLs, zero canonical tags. Congratulations -you just split your authority three ways and gave AI crawlers a headache.
