I only used the free service, but honestly? It was probably more valuable than I could have believed.
Most "free tiers" feel like a teaser, just enough to hook you, but too limited to actually help. Silicon Friendly's free audit gave me actionable insights I could use immediately. No fluff, no gatekeeping the good stuff behind a paywall.
The issues it flagged were specific and clear. I pretty much addressed them right away, and the improvements were noticeable. That's the mark of a tool that actually understands what developers need, rather than just running generic checks.
If you're building anything in silicon/AI infrastructure and you're not running your stuff through this, you're leaving value on the table. Even the free version is worth your time.
5/5
This is a great tool. Highly recommend.

@unlikefraction Congrats on the launch. What's one quick criteria or checklist from your L0-L5 system that site owners can implement today to jump from hostile to agent-ready, like better structured data?

@unlikefraction how fast are you seeing scores change on a week-to-week basis? Like, if I make my website and L5 agent-friendly, how fast until the score degrades as models change?
Unfold
@anneliese it'll be early for me to comment. i'm also keeping an eye on how these scores change as more things happen. will need to keep the scoring system up to date as new changes come about. i'm imagining that agents will get better at using worse websites at the same time as websites start being more friendly towards silicons.
still, as tasks gets more complex, or critical, i'm only trusting my agent to do them autonomously on a website that has thought about agents interacting with them and built good systems around it. I want a higher SF score as the task complexity increases.

@unlikefraction ya, interesting point. as tasks become more critical, you almost want a 'confidence score' too I'd imagine.

I’m curious how do you envision this report helping non-technical folks implement the recommendations?
Unfold
@trydoff its made to be given to their coding agent who can do it for them.
It might help to show real examples of sites at each level. That would make the scoring system more tangible.

@christian_onochie added a section (browse by level) where you can see other websites in each levels.
Quite nice! Btw on what basis have you considered these levels? Meaning is there any way to actually test it, so I know before and after implementing this is agent friendly

@lak7 https://siliconfriendly.com/levels/
Ran this on my own site and got L1 passed, L2 failed. Didn't even have a robots.txt set up, so that was a useful wake-up call. The level breakdown makes it really clear what to fix first instead of guessing. Curious if there are plans to show suggestions next to each failed check?

@ray_artlas you can download a PDF of the complete report of your website. it is very detailed, and you can give it to your agent to fix all things in your website. hoping to see your become become more silicon friendly :)
@unlikefraction Oh nice, I didn't realize there was a PDF export. That's really handy for working through the fixes one by one. I'll check it out. Thanks for letting me know!
I ran one of my projects through your analytics and got some interesting insights. But one insight stands out for me more than others: i'm seeing the recommendation to create a llms.txt file. Is there any real evidence that this file actually does anything? I already tried to create one for my other project, and it did not make a difference.
Unfold
@michael_vavilov by itself its not that useful. your landing page needs to direct agents to go to that, and then your llms.txt could tell them what to do. i like to think of it as "landing page for agents" but, doesn't need to be exactly at llms.txt, can be anything. like moltbook does /skill.md
the point is to have a landing page designed for agents.
Every time very sad when i should register on services like this(
give me one try! i just wanna check!) i don't want register.

@smeshny i get it bro! just that a lot wouldn't work if can't reach back to you. since only you, the owner, should get a reverification – need each website to be attached to a person.
everything i could have done without registering, its open access. hoping you do give it a try :)
