Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

technical-seo-audit scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Technical SEO Audit

Deep technical SEO analysis: crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals, site architecture, and performance.

Audit Framework

Phase 1: Crawlability & Indexation

robots.txt Analysis
  • Verify file exists at /robots.txt
  • Check for unintentional blocks (Disallow: / on production)
  • Validate sitemap reference
  • Review AI crawler directives (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot)
XML Sitemap Audit
  • Validate sitemap format (XML schema compliance)
  • Check for 404, 301, or 5xx URLs in sitemap
  • Verify lastmod dates are accurate (not all the same date)
  • Confirm sitemap is referenced in robots.txt
  • Check sitemap size (under 50MB / 50,000 URLs per file)
  • For large sites: verify sitemap index file structure
Indexation Health
  • Compare indexed pages (site:domain.com) vs expected pages
  • Identify index bloat (thin, duplicate, or low-value pages indexed)
  • Check for noindex tags on important pages
  • Review Google Search Console coverage report patterns
  • Identify orphan pages (in sitemap but no internal links)
Crawl Budget Optimization
  • Identify crawl traps (infinite pagination, calendar URLs, faceted navigation)
  • Check crawl depth (critical pages should be within 3 clicks)
  • Review log files for crawler behavior patterns
  • Identify wasted crawl budget on low-value URLs

Phase 2: Site Architecture & Internal Linking

URL Structure
  • Consistent URL patterns (lowercase, hyphens, no trailing slashes OR consistent trailing slashes)
  • Logical hierarchy reflecting content taxonomy
  • No URL parameters where clean URLs are possible
  • Proper handling of pagination (rel=next/prev or load-more)
Internal Link Analysis
  • PageRank flow: are high-authority pages linking to important content?
  • Orphan page detection (pages with zero internal links)
  • Broken internal links (404s)
  • Anchor text distribution (relevant, varied, not over-optimized)
  • Link depth audit (pages more than 3 clicks from homepage)
Navigation & Hierarchy
  • Breadcrumb implementation (with BreadcrumbList schema)
  • Navigation depth (flatten deep hierarchies)
  • Footer link optimization
  • Faceted navigation handling (noindex, canonical, or robots)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
