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 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. An llms-full.txt is served at the same root. ## How it compares At 12 KB the file is larger than 65 percent of the 2,529 plain-text llms.txt files in this edition, and its 74 links put it ahead of 72 percent of them on link count. The home page declares no generator. Size bucket: 10 to 50 KB. Tranco rank 171. Category: Commerce Tools. Why it is in the index: Platform file with an llms-full.txt companion.
