95% confidence interval: 14.5%–20.5%
Why This Matters
LLM Discoverability
RSS feeds are widely consumed by AI news aggregators and LLM data pipelines to discover and ingest fresh content; sites with feeds get new articles into AI knowledge bases faster.
SEO Impact
RSS feeds enable content syndication and speed up discovery by search engine crawlers; fresh content that enters the index quickly benefits from the freshness ranking bonus.
What To Do Next
82.7% of audited sites need attention on rss feed (493 of 596 sites are warning or failing).
- Prioritize rss feed on templates that create many URLs, because one template fix can improve a large share of trust & security.
- After changing the page, re-run the audit and compare the observed value for this check instead of relying on visual inspection alone.
- Use the 17.3% pass rate as a benchmark: if your site fails here, passing the check moves it closer to the visible majority of crawlable, AI-readable pages.
