How to prove you own the host
Routelint·
Routelint checks the token you were given against DNS, or against a file on the site, before it crawls.
Add a TXT record on the domain, or on _routelint-challenge, containing the token. The other option is a file at /.well-known/routelint-verification.txt whose body contains that same token. Check ownership on the target page, or on the free scan, after the record or the file is public.
The scan stays read-only, at one request per second on a guest trial, and it skips logout, delete, and checkout. Private addresses and hosts outside the target are still refused. The public SEO check does not ask for this proof.
