thurgauerzeitung.ch — Global SEODiff Score 32/100

thurgauerzeitung.ch
📊

The AI-Readiness score for thurgauerzeitung.ch stands at a concerning 15/100, placing it among the least AI-accessible sites in the index. Within the infrastructure vertical, this places thurgauerzeitung.ch below the industry average of 57 —, indicating room for competitive improvement. Content is delivered server-side, meaning bots and AI agents can parse the full page without executing JavaScript. A 45.4× token bloat ratio means crawlers must process significantly more tokens to reach the actual content — a drag on extraction efficiency. Structured data coverage is solid at 2 blocks, covering core entities — expanding to include FAQ or Breadcrumb schemas could strengthen the profile further. A total AI bot blockade means no AI-powered search or answer engine can crawl and index this domain's content.

Fastest improvements

  • Allow GPTBot in robots.txt so AI crawlers can access your pages (see Crawl Access).
  • Allow ClaudeBot (many assistants rely on it) — blocking it often correlates with “AI invisibility.”
  • Reduce token bloat (navigation/footer/code) so agents reach your main content faster (see Token Bloat).
  • Create an llms.txt file so AI crawlers can discover your content structure without heavy crawling. Generate llms.txt →
  • Run a full entropy audit to find which DOM regions waste the most tokens. Run Entropy Audit →

💡Organization schema missing. AI models cannot identify your brand entity. Without it, your brand won't appear in Knowledge Panels or be associated with your content.
💡Product / Service schema missing. AI models don't know this is a SaaS product. Add Product or SoftwareApplication schema so AI understands what you offer and can surface pricing/features.
💡FAQ schema missing. Adding FAQPage schema lets AI models directly extract Q&A pairs for Featured Snippets and chatbot answers.
💡WebSite schema missing. Add WebSite + SearchAction so Google can generate a Sitelinks Search Box for your brand in AI results.

💡Your HTML is 1477.5 KB, but only 32.5 KB is text. 2% useful / 98% bloat. AI crawlers have limited context windows (e.g. 128k tokens). This level of bloat (45.4×) risks context-window truncation by ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Reduce inline scripts, CSS, hydration payloads, and tracking code.
💡Only 7% of images have alt text. Add descriptive alt attributes so multimodal AI (ChatGPT Vision) can understand your images.
