It lacks a linked H2 section and same-site links. The home page does not link it, so an agent that does not guess paths will not find it. No llms-full.txt was found.

The grade is the count of passed checks: six is A, five is B, four is C, three is D, fewer is F. It measures structure only. Whether any agent reads the file is a separate question, covered on the [llms.txt reference](https://agentreadyhtml.com/llms-txt/). | Check | Result | Detail | | --- | --- | --- | | Starts with an H1 naming the site or project | Pass | H1: BigCommerce | | Has a blockquote summary under the H1 | Pass | Blockquote summary found. | | Has at least one H2 section that lists links | Fail | 10 H2 sections, 0 with links. | | At least 80 percent of links point at the same site | Fail | No links to test. | | Under 100 KB | Pass | 3715 bytes as served. | | Plain markdown, no HTML | Pass | No HTML document markers in the body. | ## Ora's cached score Ora's cached report for bigcommerce.com gives it **71 of 100, grade B**, scanned on 5 November 2026. Its Access layer, which holds the read-layer checks below, scored 38 of 57 check points. Read from GET ora.ai/api/score/bigcommerce.com on 5 November 2026. The score is Ora's, not this site's, and the structure grade above is a different measure: it grades the llms.txt file against the llmstxt.org proposal, while Ora's score covers the whole site. [Ora's report for bigcommerce.com](https://ora.ai/score/bigcommerce.com?utm_source=agentreadyhtml.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=index-entry) has every layer. | Ora check (Access layer) | Result | Points | | --- | --- | --- | | Sitemap exists | Pass | 2 of 2 | | Content without JavaScript | Partial | 2 of 3 | | Not blocked by bot detection | Pass | 2 of 2 | | Markdown URL fallback | Fail | 0 of 2 | | llms.txt exists | Pass | 1 of 1 | | llms.txt formatting | Partial | 1 of 2 | | JSON-LD structured data | Partial | 1 of 4 | | Metadata completeness | Pass | 2 of 2 | | llms.txt links resolve | Not applicable | 0 of 2 | | Markdown alternate link | Fail | 0 of 1 | | Redirect hygiene | Pass | 1 of 1 | | Page token budget | Pass | 1 of 1 | | Code fence validity | Pass | 1 of 1 | | Content behind auth | Pass | 2 of 2 | | OpenAPI spec published | Fail | 0 of 7 | | Markdown agent docs | Fail | 0 of 1 | | Markdown negotiation with Vary | Fail | 0 of 1 | | Markdown for agent user agents | Fail | 0 of 1 | | Agent crawler reachability | Pass | 2 of 2 | ## Linking and the companion file The home page of bigcommerce.com does not link the file in its HTML. Ora's lab found (2026-10-19) that 86 percent of llms.txt fetches by agents arrived through a link, so an unlinked file is mostly a file nobody opens. No llms-full.txt was found at the same root. ## How it compares At 3.6 KB the file is larger than 23 percent of the 2,529 plain-text llms.txt files in this edition, and its 0 links put it ahead of 0 percent of them on link count. The home page declares no generator. Size bucket: 2 to 10 KB. Tranco rank 1,795. Category: Commerce Tools. Live file: [https://bigcommerce.com/llms.txt](https://bigcommerce.com/llms.txt).
