agentic checks passed 51% readiness - how well this site can be read, trusted and transacted with by AI agents
Last checked
lanl.gov is live and passes 11 of 30 agentic-readiness checks (51%). It runs on AmazonS3 over HTTPS.
For AI agents, lanl.gov's strongest signals are clean semantic HTML, tidy, crawlable markup, fully indexable pages, and a visually stable layout. 1 render-blocking script(s) in <head>.
Its main gaps are no structured tables or lists, long, hard-to-quote sentences, no speakable schema for voice agents, and no llms.txt for agent discovery. The weakest area is Structured data; addressing it first would raise this score the most.
