agentic checks passed 49% readiness - how well this site can be read, trusted and transacted with by AI agents
Last checked
dcu.ie is live and passes 12 of 30 agentic-readiness checks (49%). It runs on drupal on nginx over HTTPS.
For AI agents, dcu.ie's strongest signals are clean semantic HTML, tidy, crawlable markup, fully indexable pages, and a visually stable layout. Average entity density 50.1% across 1 pages (target >15%).
Its main gaps are text that is hard for agents to extract, no structured tables or lists, few clear definitions, and no Schema.org structured data. The weakest area is Structured data; addressing it first would raise this score the most.
