About The Onion
from our crawl and measurement
"The Onion brings you all of the latest news, stories, photos, videos and more from America's finest news source." That is how The Onion introduces itself. Its AI visibility score is 6.5 out of 10: the engines can find it, but they do not have much to hold on to.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (WebPage, ImageObject, BreadcrumbList) and a readable heading structure. It is missing an llms.txt file and a sitemap.
AI crawlers have visited 2 times in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic) and Meta AI.
