## Grade against the llmstxt.org structure

The file passes all six checks. 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: Yoast SEO |
| Has a blockquote summary under the H1 | Pass | Blockquote summary found. |
| Has at least one H2 section that lists links | Pass | 8 H2 sections, 8 with links. |
| At least 80 percent of links point at the same site | Pass | 65 of 65 links stay on yoast.com (100 percent). |

## Ora's cached score

Ora's cached report for yoast.com gives it **41 of 100, grade D**, scanned on 19 April 2026. Read from GET ora.ai/api/score/yoast.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 yoast.com](https://ora.ai/score/yoast.com?utm_source=agentreadyhtml.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=index-entry) has every layer.

## Linking and the companion file

The home page of yoast.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 7.5 KB the file is larger than 49 percent of the 2,529 plain-text llms.txt files in this edition, and its 65 links put it ahead of 69 percent of them on link count. The home page declares no generator. Size bucket: 2 to 10 KB. Tranco rank 6,834. Category: Marketing.

Why it is in the index: File of the first SEO plugin to generate llms.txt. Owner as listed: Yoast.

Live file: [https://yoast.com/llms.txt](https://yoast.com/llms.txt). Read 4 November 2026. If the file has since changed or gone, the live URL is the authority; this page records what the crawl read on that date.
