About This Check

Checks that the page returns HTTP 200 when fetched. If crawlers cannot reliably fetch the URL, citations and visibility signals break.

Why This Matters

LLM Discoverability

LLMs and their web crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.) discard URLs that return non-200 status codes. A page that cannot be fetched simply cannot appear in AI-generated responses or citations.

SEO Impact

A 200 response is the baseline requirement for indexing; Googlebot drops non-200 URLs from its queue, so the page earns zero organic traffic regardless of its content quality.
