Why it matters
llms.txt is an emerging convention for giving language models a curated map of a site. It is not used by any major crawler yet, so treat it as preparation rather than as a ranking factor.
How to fix it
Publish a plain text llms.txt at the root of the site with an H1 title, a short summary and links to the pages that matter.
