About HackerNoon
from our crawl and measurement
HackerNoon is a Eagle business whose own site puts it this way: "How hackers start their afternoon. HackerNoon is a free platform with 25k+ contributing writers. 100M+ humans have visited HackerNoon to learn about technology." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is one of the more visible businesses we measure, scoring 7.0 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (Organization), an llms.txt file for AI models and a sitemap. It is missing a heading structure that lays out what it offers.
AI crawlers have visited 9 times in our tracking, including OAI-SearchBot (OpenAI), Applebot (Siri) and ClaudeBot (Anthropic).
