agentic checks passed 38% readiness - how well this site can be read, trusted and transacted with by AI agents
Last checked
osu.edu is live and passes 7 of 30 agentic-readiness checks (38%). It runs on drupal on Apache over HTTPS.
For AI agents, osu.edu's strongest signals are tidy, crawlable markup, fully indexable pages, a visually stable layout, and atomic, quotable sentences. Average 60% atomic sentences across 1 pages (target 40%+).
Its main gaps are text that is hard for agents to extract, no canonical URL, render-blocking resources, and no structured tables or lists. The weakest area is Structured data; addressing it first would raise this score the most.
