3. Can the answer engines read you

What this is

The crawlers everybody blocks are the ones that train models. They are not the ones that decide whether an assistant can quote you. Those are different, they are named differently at every vendor, and blocking them by accident is easy — Apple, for instance, follows your Googlebot rule when you have not named Apple.

This check did not run

The reason recorded for vitadefence.com was:

The site did not answer within the time limit while this check ran - a connection problem on the day, not a finding about your pages. The check’s own note: robots.txt could not be read (URLError: <urlopen error _ssl.c:1012: The handshake operation timed out>), so nothing is claimed

No result is claimed either way. This is not a clean pass and it is not an empty finding — the check did not complete, and this chapter exists to tell you so.

What we found on vitadefence.com

Nothing. This check produced no measurement of vitadefence.com, so this chapter teaches nothing and asks you to do nothing.

Step 1 — Have it run again

Ask for this one check to be run again once vitadefence.com answers normally. Nothing in this chapter should be acted on until it has.
