    Make near-copy pages distinct

    Add an llms.txt

    Under a point

    Add /llms.txt: a short plain text map of the site for assistants. Its effect is unproven, so treat it as cheap insurance.

    Once, for the whole site

    Add real images to content

    +1 point, to 99

    Add a photo, drawing, or chart as an img with alt text. A CSS background image has no alt text and is not read as part of the page.
