28-day score · p75 · the standard
2/7 runs — building history (nightly)

Scored by v3 · source-of-truth hashes: score db860d6ac94e · thresholds e94f8b33e500 — verifiable against the canonical scorer.

The 28-day score is the p75 of nightly runs — the stable number to cite. Deterministic metrics (CRR/SSD/TC) show their latest value (they move only when the site changes); timing (TTFUT) and answer-fidelity (AF) are smoothed by 28-day p75 — the same lab-vs-field split Core Web Vitals uses. Synthetic daily measurement, not real-user field data.

⚠️ Your page title reads like a navigation menu, so an agent may cite your business as “Home | Transportation Security Administration”.

An agent is likely to fabricate missing details rather than say “I don’t know”. 0/3 applicable facts come from machine-readable structured data.

Diagnostics

high CRR Content is hidden behind JavaScript

pre-JS raw HTML

Evidence30% of content requires JS · 70% of rendered content recovered (rest is placeholder/wrong)
ImpactA non-rendering agent never sees the JS-injected content.
Effort1–4 h

Fix: Server-render or statically generate the main content so a non-JS agent still receives it; make client rendering a progressive enhancement, not the source of truth.

high SSD Low signal-to-noise for agents

content vs chrome/boilerplate

Evidencesignal 0.25 · JSON-LD 0/1 · missing: structured-data
ImpactAgent spends tokens parsing nav/boilerplate instead of content.
Effort30–90 min

Fix: Wrap the real content in <main>/<article>, cut repeated nav/boilerplate, and keep the primary content dense and early in the DOM.

high TC 68.6% of tokens are non-content (boilerplate/chrome)

agent representation — token decomposition

EvidenceToken decomposition: content 31.4%, chrome 52.9%, boilerplate 0%, other 15.7%. Only 31.400000000000006% of the agent's tokens are real content.
ImpactAn agent pays for boilerplate on every request and has less context left for the real content.
Effort30–90 min

Fix: Strip repeated nav/header/footer/cookie chrome from the agent-visible output; wrap content in <main>/<article> so the extractor keeps signal and drops boilerplate.

Issues (6)

robots.txt allows AI bots high impact Blocks: * (all)

Business impact If robots.txt blocks AI crawlers you are invisible to ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity — they skip you and recommend a competitor instead.

What we measured We read /robots.txt and test it against 16 AI user-agents (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, …) for a Disallow that blocks them.

How to fix Allow major AI bots to public content; restrict only private paths (/admin, /api).

Learn how to implement →

User-agent: GPTBot
Allow: /
Disallow: /admin/

Spec: https://platform.openai.com/docs/gptbot

llms.txt present high impact Absent at /llms.txt and /.well-known/llms.txt

Business impact llms.txt is the robots.txt for AI: it tells agents what your site is, what matters, and where to find it. Without it AI guesses — and guessing means inaccurate recommendations and lost visibility.

What we measured We fetch /llms.txt and /.well-known/llms.txt and validate the spec (H1 title + a one-line blockquote summary). We also note /llms-full.txt (your full content as Markdown).

How to fix Create /llms.txt with a short summary + key pages; optionally /llms-full.txt with full content in Markdown.

Learn how to implement →

# Your Site
> One-line description for AI agents.

## Key pages
- /products — catalog
- /pricing — plans
- /docs — documentation

Spec: https://llmstxt.org

Structured data (JSON-LD) medium impact No JSON-LD found

Business impact Schema.org JSON-LD tells agents what a page IS (product, article, business) with typed fields (price, rating, hours). Without it agents extract less reliably.

What we measured We parse <script type=application/ld+json>, validate it, and check for populated @type fields.

How to fix Add JSON-LD: Organization/LocalBusiness on the homepage, Product on product pages, Article on posts.

Learn how to implement →

<script type="application/ld+json">{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Organization","name":"Your Co","url":"https://example.com"}</script>

Spec: https://schema.org/

~ agents.json discovery low impact Absent (emerging standard)

Business impact agents.json describes what your site can DO for agents (services, endpoints, capabilities) — an emerging discovery standard. Early adopters get native agent integration.

What we measured We check /agents.json and /.well-known/agents.json for a valid configuration.

How to fix Publish /agents.json describing your site's capabilities and actions.

Spec: https://github.com/wild-card-ai/agents-json

~ WebMCP endpoint low impact Absent (emerging standard)

Business impact WebMCP lets agents call actions on your site directly (book, buy, query) instead of scraping the DOM. Early adopters get native AI-agent interoperability.

What we measured We check /.well-known/webmcp and /webmcp.json for a valid actions array.

How to fix Add a WebMCP endpoint exposing your key actions to agents.

Learn how to implement →

Spec: https://webmcp.org

~ API documentation low impact No OpenAPI/Swagger found

Business impact Programmatic agents prefer a typed API. An OpenAPI/Swagger spec lets them integrate without scraping.

What we measured We probe /openapi.json, /swagger.json, /api-docs and /.well-known/openapi.json.

How to fix Publish an OpenAPI spec at a well-known path.

Transport & Trust (SEC 1.0.0)

HTTPS, HSTS, CSP, sniffing, referrer and CORS posture. Diagnostic only — this does not affect the CAV score. A security header does not make a page more legible to an agent, so scoring it would reward a CDN toggle that changes nothing an agent can recover. We measure it and say so.

Wasted JavaScript (by bundle)

Transfer-accurate — each bundle's transfer size × its unused %, ranked by wasted bytes (the biggest code-splitting wins). Unused JS also inflates Token Cost (TC).
