Product launch board ranking items on verified domain control rather than upvotes

## About this site

RankCert is a weekly product launch board where listings are ranked based on verified domain control rather than vote counts alone\. Position on the board is set by an evidence\-weighted score, requiring owners to prove control of their domain through a DNS record or a file served from the domain itself, which is re\-checked weekly\. The site lists various trending software products, tools, and applications, alongside free developer and SEO utilities such as a meta tags checker, WHOIS lookup, and schema markup generator\.

## Through a bot's eyes

Written from the response GoodForBotsBot received in scan cmuthmf1q002r01p32ggagazv (2026-10-04T07:17:25.666Z), before any JavaScript ran.

### What a bot can read

A language model reading this input learns about the ranking methodology of RankCert, which relies on domain verification rather than upvotes\. The homepage markdown lists sixteen trending products with brief descriptions and category tags, along with an explanation of how the weekly ranking works\. The provided llms\.txt file adds a comprehensive list of free tools offered by the platform, complete with descriptions and links to markdown versions for each tool\. The embedded JSON\-LD provides structured data for the organization, website, and an item list of the featured products\. The text covers product names, verification statuses, and tool descriptions, but does not include pricing information, documentation details, or contact addresses\.

### What stays hidden

The input does not state whether submitting a product or using the listed tools costs money, nor does it provide pricing plans, contact information, or terms of service\.

> RankCert is a weekly product launch board where items are ranked based on verified domain control rather than upvotes\.

### Serve Markdown at its own URL

Recoverable contribution: 12.5 points.

Score with this fix and the ones above it: 86/100.

No /llms\-full\.txt and no markdown versions linked from llms\.txt\.

````text
My website rankcert.com scored 74/100 on Good for Bots (Fair). Good for Bots measures one thing: whether a language model can read a site and cite it.

I need you to: serve the content as markdown at its own URLs.

The check it fails is "Serves markdown at its own URL", worth 12.5 points. What the scanner saw: No /llms-full.txt and no markdown versions linked from llms.txt.

A model that can only reach this site's content through HTML pays to parse markup and
loses structure doing it: navigation, cookie banners and script tags arrive alongside
the prose, and headings, tables and code blocks come out flattened. Markdown at its own
address removes HTML from the path entirely: what is fetched is the content and nothing
else.

Two routes satisfy this, and it is worth being clear about which one the specification
asks for. llmstxt.org asks for a markdown version of each page **at the same URL as the
original**, either with `.md` appended (`page.html.md`) or with the extension replaced
(`page.md`). `llms-full.txt`, the single bundle holding everything, does not appear in
the specification at all. It is a community convention that grew up around it and is
now widespread. Both are accepted here. The per-page form is the one the document
asks for.

Either of these passes:

- **The bundle.** `/llms-full.txt`, one document, real markdown rather than HTML,
  carrying the site's actual content rather than a placeholder.
- **Per-page mirrors.** A markdown twin for each page at `page.md` or `page.html.md`,
  **and linked from `/llms.txt`**. That second half is load-bearing: mirrors are counted
  from the links in the index, so twins that nothing points at are invisible to this scan
  and, more to the point, to anything crawling the site.

For the mirror route, the index carries them as ordinary link lines:

```markdown
## Docs

- [Quickstart](/docs/quickstart.md): create an account and take a first payment
- [Concepts](/docs/concepts.md): customers, subscriptions, invoices and proration
- [Webhooks](/docs/webhooks.md): events, signature verification, retry schedule
```

Both `/docs/quickstart` and `/docs/quickstart.md` have to answer 200: the HTML for
people, the markdown for everything else.

Serving markdown through content negotiation does **not** satisfy this, and that is
deliberate rather than an oversight. A negotiated response only exists for a client that
knows to send `Accept: text/markdown`, and most crawlers send no preference at all. A
`.md` address sits in the open: it is found by ordinary crawling, it can be linked to,
and it can be cited. If this site already negotiates markdown, the report says so in
these words: *"Markdown is served on request, but not at any URL a crawler would find on
its own"*. That is a different check passing on its own terms, not a contradiction.

Four things about how this is measured. The bundle is judged by size, by being markdown
rather than a page or JSON, and by not merely repeating `llms.txt`; its content is never
sampled beyond that, so a couple of kilobytes of boilerplate would pass. Do not take that
as permission, since the point of the file is the content in it. `.mdx` counts as markdown
although the specification names only `.md`, because excluding it would punish a large
part of the documentation ecosystem for its toolchain. The number of mirrors we want
before calling it a convention on this site is our judgement, not the specification's.
And the mirror URLs listed in the index are counted, never fetched, so a list of `.md`
addresses that 404 passes this check and helps nobody at all.

The whole report, as markdown, is at https://goodforbots.com/r/rankcert.com.md?scan=cmuthmf1q002r01p32ggagazv. Read it first: this prompt covers one finding, and the report has everything the scan saw.

When you are done, summarise what you changed and how to check it against a running instance. Do not try to run the Good for Bots scan yourself: it only sees what is already deployed, it is rate-limited, and re-running it is the site owner's call once the change ships.

### Serve Markdown when asked for it

Recoverable contribution: 10 points.

Score with this fix and the ones above it: 96/100.

None of the 4 pages read pass\. Asking the homepage for markdown still returns text/html\.

```text
My website rankcert.com scored 74/100 on Good for Bots (Fair). Good for Bots measures one thing: whether a language model can read a site and cite it.

I need you to: serve markdown through content negotiation on all public HTML routes.

The check it fails is "Serves markdown when asked for it", worth 10 points. What the scanner saw: None of the 4 pages read pass. Asking the homepage for markdown still returns text/html.

The scan checked a sample of 4 pages. It does not establish which other pages have the same issues. Use the findings below to locate the responsible templates, components or configuration, and apply the fix wherever the same issue occurs. Pages in the sample with findings:
- https://rankcert.com/: Asking the homepage for markdown still returns text/html.
- https://rankcert.com/product/creetr: Asking the page at /product/creetr for markdown still returns text/html.
- https://rankcert.com/blog/hub/developer: Asking the page at /blog/hub/developer for markdown still returns text/html.
- https://rankcert.com/categories/ai: Asking the page at /categories/ai for markdown still returns text/html.

Implement content negotiation across all public HTML routes, including page types
outside the scan's sample. Put it in the shared response handling or the handlers
for each page type, so new pages receive it too. Agents need the content of any
page they follow, including pages the report did not name.

When a request arrives with `text/markdown` in its `Accept` header, the same URL that
serves HTML to a browser should return a markdown rendering of that page's content.
Requests without that header must keep getting the HTML exactly as they do now.

The response must:

- set `Content-Type: text/markdown; charset=utf-8`;
- include `Accept` in the `Vary` header, so shared caches never serve the markdown to a
  browser or the HTML to an agent (RFC 9110 says a server SHOULD send `Vary` whenever
  the representation depends on a request header);
- contain real markdown, not HTML with a different header on it;
- drop `ETag` and `Last-Modified` for the converted response, since a conditional request
  cannot be honoured against a body generated on the fly.

Work out how to do this in whatever stack this project uses. If the site is behind
Cloudflare on a paid plan, the "Markdown for Agents" zone setting does all of the above
and is the least invasive option. Otherwise implement it in the framework: middleware
inspecting the `Accept` header, a route handler that returns the markdown source, or
whatever fits the architecture here.

Strip navigation, headers, footers and cookie banners from the markdown. The point is the
content, without the page furniture around it.

Verify HTML and Markdown responses for each public page type, including URLs
outside the reported sample. Check that each Markdown response contains that
page's content and that ordinary browser requests still receive HTML.

### Declare AI usage preferences

Recoverable contribution: 2.5 points.

Score with this fix and the ones above it: 99/100.

No usage declaration found in robots\.txt or the final successful homepage response header\.

````text
My website rankcert.com scored 74/100 on Good for Bots (Fair). Good for Bots measures one thing: whether a language model can read a site and cite it.

I need you to: declare the site's AI usage preferences in robots.txt or HTTP headers.

The check it fails is "Declares AI usage preferences", worth 2.5 points. What the scanner saw: No usage declaration found in robots.txt or the final successful homepage response header.

Blocking a crawler says who may fetch a page. This says what may be done with the
content afterwards (trained on, indexed, quoted in an answer), which is a different
question, and one a site can answer without blocking anybody.

There are two vocabularies for it and either is fine. Cloudflare's `Content-Signal` is
deployed at scale; the IETF AIPREF working group's `Content-Usage` is the standards-track
version. Pick one.

Cloudflare's, placed inside a user-agent group:

```
User-agent: *
Content-Signal: ai-train=no, search=yes, ai-input=yes
Allow: /
```

The three categories are `ai-train` (training or fine-tuning models), `search` (building
a search index that links back here) and `ai-input` (feeding the content to a model at
answer time, such as retrieval-augmented generation). Each takes `yes` or `no`.

The IETF version, with reversed naming for the training category and single-letter
values:

```
User-agent: *
Content-Usage: train-ai=n, search=y, ai-use=y
Allow: /
```

Alternatively, send the same IETF preference as an HTTP response header:

```http
Content-Usage: train-ai=n, search=y, ai-use=y
```

Configure it on the content responses it is meant to cover, including the final
homepage response after redirects. A header applies only to that response's content;
it is not a site-wide declaration. Do not put a robots.txt path prefix in it.
The scanner samples the final successful homepage response and awards this check
once even when both robots.txt and the header declare preferences.

Use lowercase category labels and the unquoted tokens `y` or `n`. Parameters are
ignored. Repeated HTTP fields form one dictionary: a duplicate category keeps its
last value. Keep that distinct from conflicts between separate applicable AIPREF
statements, where disallow takes precedence over allow by default. Keep the
carriers consistent with the intended policy; a header does not automatically
override robots.txt.

Decide what this project wants. A common position is to refuse training while
allowing search and grounding, so the site stays citable without feeding a model.
Omitting a category is allowed and means "unstated", not "allowed".

One caution: nothing compels a crawler to honour either directive. This is a stated
preference, not an enforcement mechanism. The standards-track vocabulary is also a draft
that can still change under you.
