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.

An agent recovered no usable content from this page without executing JavaScript.

Diagnostics

high CRR Content is hidden behind JavaScript

pre-JS raw HTML

Evidence100% of content requires JS · 0% 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.

medium SSD Low signal-to-noise for agents

content vs chrome/boilerplate

Evidencesignal 1.00 (full) · 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.

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.

# 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>

~ 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.

~ 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.

~ 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.

Full profile — how to improve · unused JS · network · timing
This full profile was measured against a block/challenge page (bot-block (raw HTTP 429, only 47 tokens recovered)) — every number below describes the wall, not your content. Resolve the block, then re-run.

EvidenceMeasured against a block/challenge page (the main document returned HTTP 429); 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.

JavaScript coverage

0 KiB unused of 0 KiB (0% unused JS) — unused JS inflates Token Cost (TC) and slows the agent's parse.
