Last checked

For AI agents, nsw.gov.au's strongest signals are clean semantic HTML, tidy, crawlable markup, fully indexable pages, and a visually stable layout. Average entity density 38.4% across 1 pages (target >15%).
Its main gaps are text that is hard for agents to extract, no structured tables or lists, long, hard-to-quote sentences, and few clear definitions. The weakest area is Trust & transparency; addressing it first would raise this score the most.
