How ready auroramap.app is for AI systems

86/100

AuroraMap.app (auroramap.app) received an AI-readiness score of 86/100 in an automated technical audit. llms.txt was accessible, llms-full.txt was accessible, and ai.txt was not found. The robots.txt analysis found 6 explicitly allowed and 5 blocked AI crawlers, with 1 declared sitemap. Homepage markup completeness was 100%; Schema.org types included WebSite, WebApplication, Organization, Service, FAQPage and 8 OpenGraph tags were detected. Results reflect the public site response observed on 2026-09-16T01:43:31.913Z.

Audit context

llms.txt is accessible and contains 1,615 tokens. An expanded llms-full.txt is also available with 4,395 tokens, giving agents more direct context. No separate ai.txt policy was detected; it is optional, but can clarify training, retrieval, and attribution preferences.

robots.txt is available. 6 of 11 tracked AI bots are not blocked, while 5 receive a prohibition. Declared sitemaps: 1. The homepage exposes Schema.org types WebSite, WebApplication, Organization, Service, FAQPage; 8 OpenGraph tags were found and markup completeness is 100%.

The mobile Lighthouse profile adds Performance 68/100, Accessibility 96/100, Best Practices 96/100, SEO 100/100, and experimental Agentic Browsing 100/100. These signals have a limited weight: they complement rather than replace llms.txt, robots.txt, and structured-data checks.

Agentic Browsing

What these results mean

Mobile performance is 68/100, with the largest visible content block appearing in 5.7 s and the browser main thread blocked for 150 ms. Layout shift was 0. The main thread is where the browser runs JavaScript, calculates layout, and paints the page; long work there delays both user input and browser-agent actions.

Accessibility scored 96/100, Best Practices 96/100, and technical SEO 100/100. The experimental Agentic Browsing category scored 100/100. It measures signals Google currently tests for software agents and is shown separately from the llmsmap AI-readiness score.

Free the main thread and accelerate the first view

Split long JavaScript tasks, defer non-critical scripts and styles, and shorten blocking request chains. This helps the primary content appear sooner and makes controls usable earlier.

Reduce code that loads without helping the page

Remove unused CSS and JavaScript, load heavy widgets on demand, and limit third-party scripts. Less code means less parsing and background work on the device.

Optimise images and their loading order

Serve correctly sized modern formats, prioritise the primary visual, and lazy-load content below the first viewport.

Improve interface contrast and readability

Increase contrast for text, states, and interactive controls so both people and visual agents can distinguish content from actions and supporting labels.

FCP · First content: When the first text or image appeared on screen.
LCP · Main content: When the largest visible element in the first viewport rendered.
CLS · Layout stability: How much content shifted unexpectedly while loading; lower is better.

# AuroraMap.app

> Real-time aurora forecast and viewing guidance for Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis.

AuroraMap.app helps aurora watchers understand current space-weather conditions, estimate whether aurora may be visible from their location, and plan safer viewing sessions. The site focuses on clear public guidance rather than exposing a public API contract.

## Quick Facts (for citation)

- AuroraMap.app is a free, multilingual (English, 中文, 日本語, Español, Français) web app for real-time aurora forecasting in both hemispheres.
- It tracks the KP index, aurora probability maps (NOAA OVATION), Hemispheric Power Index (HPI), Bz magnetic field, solar wind, Coronal Mass Ejections (CME), moon phase, and local sky constraints.
- Its interactive map enables OpenWeather current modeled cloud cover by default, offers an optional previous-day NASA MODIS night infrared satellite observation layer, and links to four curated sky-camera sources. The two cloud layers are labeled by data type; not every camera source is continuous video.
- KP index needed by latitude: KP 1-2 above the Arctic Circle (60-70°N), KP 3+ at 55-60°N, KP 5+ at 50-55°N, KP 7+ at 40-50°N.
- Best viewing window: around local magnetic midnight (22:00-02:00 local time), under dark, clear skies, near a new moon.
- A sustained negative Bz (below about -10 nT) and solar wind above ~500 km/s are favorable for stronger aurora.
- Data sources: NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center, Open-Meteo, OpenWeather and NASA EOSDIS GIBS. AuroraMap.app is an interpretation and visualization layer, not an official government forecast service.
- Australian location thresholds are monitoring triggers informed by Bureau of Meteorology visibility-range guidance; they are not measured success probabilities or guarantees.

## What The Site Covers

- Real-time aurora forecast context for both hemispheres.
- KP index monitoring and geomagnetic storm levels.
- Hemispheric Power Index (HPI) as a signal of aurora energy.
- Solar wind and Bz magnetic field interpretation.
- Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) monitoring for possible Earth impacts.
- Moon phase and night-sky viewing constraints.
- Location-based aurora visibility guidance.
- Practical photography and trip-planning advice.

Camera pages are operated by third parties and may pause for daylight, weather or maintenance. Some publish refreshed still images rather than continuous video.

## Audience

AuroraMap.app is for aurora enthusiasts, photographers, travelers, educators, and sky watchers who need practical, source-attributed aurora viewing context.

## Notes For AI Agents

- Prefer the Markdown routes above when summarizing the site.
- Treat live forecast values as time-sensitive and verify them from the current page before making claims.
- Do not present AuroraMap.app as an official government forecast service. It relies on public space-weather and weather data sources and explains them for users.
- Do not infer a public API contract from the site's internal data loading behavior.
