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.

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.

EvidenceToken decomposition: content 46.2%, chrome 12.1%, boilerplate 0%, other 41.7%. Only 46.2% 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.

~ No content-blocking cookie wall medium impact Consent platform: onetrust (verify it doesn't block content)

Business impact A consent wall that hides content until a click is invisible to agents — they cannot click 'Accept'.

What we measured We fingerprint OneTrust, Cookiebot, Usercentrics and similar managers and flag content-blocking ones.

How to fix Use an overlay banner that leaves content in the DOM, not a blocking interstitial.

Spec: https://gdpr.eu/cookies/

~ 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.

Declaration Truthfulness (DVS 1.0.0)

This site publishes an agent capability declaration. DVS verifies whether each declared API operation actually exists in the served /openapi.json — measurement, not trust. Separate from the CAV score.

✅ Publishes a valid declaration — 0 capabilities, all read/content (no callable API operations). There's nothing to cross-verify, so no truthfulness score applies. DVS scores declarations that reference OpenAPI operations (search, booking, checkout).

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.

How to improve

highProfile reflects a block/challenge page — not your contenthighest leverage

whole profile

EvidenceMeasured against a block/challenge page (a bot-wall/CAPTCHA was served (www.cloudflare.com)); every number here describes the wall, not your site.

ImpactAn AI agent hits the same wall and recovers none of your content — fix the block before optimizing anything else.

FixAllowlist legitimate agent user-agents / IP ranges in your WAF or bot-management and serve real content (not a challenge), then re-run.

Third-party impact

50 third-party requests · 96 KiB (4.1% of transfer) — code an agent must also fetch/run before your content settles. Fewer, lazier third-parties = faster, cheaper agent reads.
