The Wix curl test: 60-second diagnostic for clinic AI search
A 60-second diagnostic for clinic owners on Wix. Run a single curl command and find out whether your site is visible to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude. Honest pass/fail with specific fix recommendations.
The 60-second diagnostic
Short answer. Open a terminal on your computer (Terminal on Mac, PowerShell on Windows, any Linux shell). Type: curl https://yoursite.com. Press enter. Read the output. If you see your clinic name, the lead physician's name, "semaglutide" or your primary treatment, and pricing as plain HTML text, you pass. If you see JavaScript code, empty div tags, or "Loading..." placeholder text, you fail.
Why this matters
AI crawlers do not run browsers. When ChatGPT browse retrieves a site, when ClaudeBot indexes for Claude, when PerplexityBot fetches for Perplexity, they receive whatever the server returns on the first HTTP GET request. If that response is a JavaScript boot loader, the crawler indexes nothing and your site is invisible to that AI engine.
What the Wix legacy response looks like
A failing Wix site returns approximately 50-100 lines of HTML containing a JavaScript boot loader, CSS link tags, a target div like <div id="SITE_ROOT"></div>, and a script tag loading the Wix runtime. None of your clinic content is in this response. The crawler indexes nothing.
What the Wix post-2024 SSR response looks like
The 2024 Wix SSR upgrade improved this for newer sites. A passing Wix SSR site returns HTML with content but typically with heavy CSS class noise and basic schema markup. Some content extracts, but the structural depth required for consistent AI citation is rarely there by default.
What a passing Astro or Next.js SSR response looks like
An AI-native rebuild returns clean semantic HTML with the clinic name in an H1, providers named in body text, services described with structured data, pricing in Offer schema, and the full Schema.org @graph in a script tag. Everything an AI crawler needs is in the first response.
How to interpret your specific result
Pass: Your site is AI-readable. Proceed to schema, capsule, and llms.txt work.
Partial pass (some content visible): Wix post-2024 SSR works at this tier. The schema depth and capsule work are the remaining gaps. KailxLabs can ship these on the existing Wix install with custom code blocks or rebuild on Astro.
Fail: Site is invisible to AI crawlers. The fix is structural: migrate to SSR (Astro, Next.js, Webflow static export) or rebuild on AI-native architecture. KailxLabs offers the productized $5,999 migration.
Beyond Wix
The same diagnostic applies to Squarespace, WordPress, and any single-page React/Vue application. Squarespace typically fails. WordPress varies based on theme and caching. React/Vue without SSR typically fails. Test before you assume.
