About Netgate
from our crawl and measurement
Netgate is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Netgate is an open-source driven secure networking company that provides appliance and software-based firewall, VPN and routing solutions including pfSense." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is partially visible, scoring 6.9 out of 10, readable in places, missing in others.
Our crawl found a sitemap, a readable heading structure. It also found the gaps that keep answer engines guessing: structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file.
AI crawlers have visited the site 8 times in our tracking, so the engines are already looking.
