Introducing AgentReady: The AI Readiness Score for Every Website
We built AgentReady because the web is entering its AI era and nobody had a way to measure whether their website was ready. Today we are launching a free tool that scans any site and scores it across 8 factors that determine AI visibility.

Why We Built AgentReady
For two decades the web was built for one consumer: the human sitting behind a browser. HTML, CSS, JavaScript — every standard, every framework, every CMS — was designed to render pages for human eyes.
That era is not ending, but it is no longer the only one. AI agents from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google Gemini, and dozens of emerging platforms are now the web's second consumer. They crawl, read, interpret, and cite website content on behalf of hundreds of millions of users every day. And most websites are completely unprepared for them.
I spent 15 years in SEO — at 888 Holdings, Catena Media, Betsson Group, and Evolution — watching every major platform shift reward the businesses that adapted early. Mobile-first indexing, HTTPS, Core Web Vitals: the pattern was always the same. Those who measured the gap and closed it first won. Those who waited lost traffic, revenue, and relevance.
AI readiness is the next shift. And until today, there was no standardized way to measure it. That is why we built AgentReady.
What AgentReady Does
AgentReady is a free website scanner that evaluates how well AI engines can discover, understand, and cite your content. You enter a URL, we scan it in real time, and you get a score from 0 to 100 along with a letter grade from A to F.
The score is not a vanity metric. It is built on 8 concrete factors that directly influence whether AI systems surface your content in their responses. Each factor is weighted based on how much it actually matters for AI discoverability, and every score comes with specific, actionable recommendations for improvement.
No signup required. No credit card. Just enter your URL and see where you stand.
The 8 Factors We Measure
Every AgentReady score is calculated from eight weighted factors. Together they capture the full picture of how AI-ready a website is — from basic accessibility to advanced protocol adoption.
These factors were not chosen arbitrarily. They are based on our analysis of how AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews actually select and cite sources. We studied thousands of AI-generated responses and reverse-engineered the signals that correlated most strongly with citation.
- Bot Access & Crawlability — Can AI crawlers reach your content? Are you blocking GPTBot, ClaudeBot, or PerplexityBot in robots.txt?
- Structured Data & Schema — Do you use Schema.org markup? Are you implementing the types that AI systems actually parse (Article, Product, FAQ, HowTo)?
- AI Protocols — Have you adopted llms.txt, NLWeb, or MCP? These emerging protocols tell AI agents what your site offers and how to interact with it.
- Content Quality & Structure — Is your content well-organized with clear headings, sufficient depth, and cited sources?
- Topic Authority — Does your site demonstrate expertise through author attribution, credentials, and topical depth?
- Speed & Performance — How fast does your site load for AI crawlers? Server response time and page weight both matter.
- Internal Linking — Does your link structure help AI systems understand your content hierarchy and topical relationships?
- Crawl Health — Are there broken links, redirect chains, or orphaned pages that confuse crawlers?
AgentReady 8-Factor Scoring Model
How to Get Your Score
Getting your AI readiness score takes less than 60 seconds.
Visit agentready.site and enter any URL. Our scanner will crawl your site's homepage, robots.txt, sitemap, and key interior pages. It checks for structured data, AI protocol files, content structure, performance metrics, and dozens of other signals.
When the scan completes you will see your overall score, your letter grade, and a breakdown of how you scored on each of the 8 factors. Every factor includes specific recommendations — not generic advice, but actions tailored to what we actually found (or did not find) on your site.
Free users can scan up to 5 sites per month. Paid plans unlock deeper scans, monitoring, and advanced features like NLWeb and MCP protocol generation.
What Comes Next
Today is launch day, but it is also day one. Over the coming weeks we will be shipping industry benchmarks so you can compare your score against peers, monitoring dashboards that track your AI readiness over time, a WordPress plugin for one-click optimization, and an open-source version of our scoring algorithm.
The AI era is not coming. It is already here. The sites that measure their readiness and act on it will be the ones that get cited, recommended, and discovered. The rest will wonder where their traffic went.
We built AgentReady so that every website — whether a small business or a Fortune 500 — can understand and close its AI readiness gap. Start with a free scan today.
