What Core Agent Vitals is

Core Agent Vitals (CAV) is the framework — created by Rafael Lopes — for measuring how AI agents read, understand, and act on a web page: what a machine consumer actually recovers, comprehends, and can use.

The six metrics (defined by Rafael Lopes)

CRR — Content Recovery Ratio (good ≥ 0.95)

Meaningful content present in the raw pre-JavaScript HTML divided by the content available after a full render. A client-rendered page can score near zero even when it looks perfect to a person.

SSD — Semantic Signal Density (good ≥ 0.60)

Half the share of tokens that are main content (signal vs. boilerplate noise) plus half the coverage of required structured-data (JSON-LD) fields for the page’s critical entities.

ARR — Action Resolution Rate (good = 1.0)

The share of critical-path actions resolvable through stable accessible-tree locators with zero selector drift. Your ARIA labels are the agent’s API.

TC — Token Cost (good < 4,000)

The cl100k_base token count of the agent representation of the page. A bloated, boilerplate-heavy page burns the agent’s budget before it reaches your content.

TTFUT — Time to First Useful Token (good low / watch)

How fast the first useful token reaches a streaming agent — the latency signal. Timing-based, so a signal to watch rather than a hard gate.

AF — Answer Fidelity (good ≥ 0.95)

The north-star metric: given only the page’s agent representation, an LLM correctly answers canonical per-template questions about it. Measures whether the page is not just recoverable but actually understood.

5/7 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.

🟡DescriptionChase online; credit cards, mortgages, commercial banking, auto loans, investing & retirement planning, checking and business banking. · guessed from page text (no structured data)

⚠️ Your page title reads like a navigation menu, so an agent may cite your business as “Credit Card, Mortgage, Banking, Auto | Chase Online | Chase.com”.

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.

Desktop Mobile

We recovered only a shell of this page (under 200 tokens) — likely a soft bot-block or a client-rendered app that served our scanner almost no content. The metrics below reflect that shell, not your real site; the score is capped until an agent can retrieve real content.

~ llms.txt present + valid high impact Found at /.well-known/llms.txt but missing H1/blockquote

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.

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

## Key pages
- /products — catalog

- /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>

~ 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.

~ 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.

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.
