Once your llms.txt is written, it needs to be served at https://yourdomain.com/llms.txt with the correct content type. Each host handles static files slightly differently — here's the exact path for the big three.

Before you start

A written llms.txt file
Deploy access to your hosting platform

Step by step

01
Vercel: drop it in /public
Add the file to your project at public/llms.txt. Commit and push — Vercel serves anything in /public at the root. Verify at /llms.txt.
02
Netlify: drop it in the publish directory
For most setups that's /public, /dist or the root depending on framework. Confirm in netlify.toml under [build] → publish.
03
Cloudflare Pages: same as Vercel
Place llms.txt in your build output directory. For SvelteKit/Astro/Next that's the static directory; for plain HTML, the project root.
04
Set the correct Content-Type
Most hosts auto-serve .txt as text/plain. If yours doesn't, add a _headers file (Netlify/Cloudflare) or vercel.json with 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8'.
05
Test with curl
Run: curl -I https://yourdomain.com/llms.txt. Confirm a 200 status and content-type: text/plain.
06
Reference it from sitemap.xml
Add a <url> entry for llms.txt so agentic crawlers find it via your sitemap.
