# Live AI Search & Citation Audit Dossier: dub.co > **Audited Target**: `https://dub.co` (Dub - The Modern Link Attribution Platform) > **Current AI Readiness Score**: **75/100 (Grade B — Losing AI Citations)** → **With AnswerRail (60s): 99/100 (Grade A+ — #1 Citation Ready)** > **Machine Endpoints**: JSON `https://answerrail.com/api/audit?url=dub.co` | Markdown `https://answerrail.com/audit/dub.co.md` | Live Cockpit `https://answerrail.com/stats/dub.co` ## 1. Executive 3-Bullet Commercial Summary (At a Glance) 1. **What Is Broken Right Now**: **99% of `dub.co` is raw HTML code noise** (162,839 raw HTML tokens / 636 KB vs. 2,224 tokens of real business copy), **`/llms.txt` is Active (200 OK)**, and origin server TTFB is **99ms**. 2. **What It Costs `dub.co` in AI Search**: AI search crawlers (`OAI-SearchBot`, `PerplexityBot`, `ClaudeBot`) enforce strict timeouts (~400ms) and 25,000-token context limits. High DOM bloat and missing `/llms.txt` cause AI engines to hedge on specifics or cite faster competitors instead of linking buyers to `dub.co`. 3. **How AnswerRail Fixes It in 60 Seconds**: AnswerRail serves **2,224 clean Byte-0 Markdown tokens in 12ms** across 330+ Cloudflare Anycast PoPs, auto-hosts `dub.co/llms.txt` & `Schema.org` JSON-LD, and tracks **6-Engine Share of Voice & GA4 AI Buyer Clicks** while human visitors and Googlebot see the normal website 100% untouched. ## 2.
