Install llms.txt on static HTML hosting

FTP / SFTP

1. Connect to your server with an FTP client (FileZilla, Cyberduck, Transmit).
2. Navigate to your site's root directory — usually public_html, htdocs, www, or whatever your provider documents.
3. Drag llms.txt into the root.
4. Visit https://yoursite.com/llms.txt to confirm.

Amazon S3 / Cloudflare R2

1. Open your bucket in the AWS or Cloudflare console.
2. Upload llms.txt at the bucket root (no folder prefix).
3. Set the object's Content-Type to text/markdown; charset=utf-8.
4. Make sure the object is publicly readable (or behind your CloudFront/Cloudflare distribution that allows it).
5. Visit your domain's /llms.txt to confirm.

GitHub Pages

1. Place llms.txt at the repository root, or in docs/ if that's your Pages source.
2. Commit and push.
3. GitHub Pages will publish it within a minute or two.
4. Visit https://yourname.github.io/llms.txt or your custom domain to confirm.

Common pitfalls

• MIME type: If your hosting serves the file with the wrong Content-Type (e.g. binary download), AI crawlers may skip it. text/plain or text/markdown are both fine.
• Permissions: On Linux/Unix hosting, ensure file permissions are 644 (readable by all). FTP clients usually do this by default.
