About The Observer
from our crawl and measurement
"Independent journalism from The Observer, featuring news, politics, culture, sport, food, comment and analysis, plus puzzles, podcasts and newsletters." That is how The Observer of London introduces itself. To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is partially visible, scoring 6.8 out of 10, readable in places, missing in others.
The site gets some of it right: it has structured data on the page (NewsMediaOrganization, WebPage), a sitemap, substantial page content. What holds it back is what is absent, including an llms.txt file, a heading structure that lays out what it offers.
AI crawlers have visited the site once in our tracking, so the engines are already looking.
