AI Agentic Readiness

10 / 30
agentic checks passed
54% readiness - how well this site can be read, trusted and transacted with by AI agents
Last checked

ua.edu is live and passes 10 of 30 agentic-readiness checks (54%). It runs on wordpress on nginx over HTTPS.

For AI agents, ua.edu's strongest signals are tidy, crawlable markup, fully indexable pages, a visually stable layout, and a clear canonical URL. Average entity density 35.8% across 1 pages (target >15%).

Its main gaps are no structured tables or lists, long, hard-to-quote sentences, few clear definitions, and no llms.txt for agent discovery. An agent can read ua.edu's content but has little machine-readable way to discover it - closing the AI discovery gap would be the fastest lift.
