agentic checks passed 45% readiness - how well this site can be read, trusted and transacted with by AI agents
Last checked
umkc.edu is live and passes 10 of 30 agentic-readiness checks (45%). It runs on Apache over HTTPS.
For AI agents, umkc.edu's strongest signals are fully indexable pages, a visually stable layout, a clear canonical URL, and a lightweight page. Average 52% atomic sentences across 1 pages (target 40%+).
Its main gaps are thin semantic structure, text that is hard for agents to extract, no structured tables or lists, and few clear definitions. The weakest area is Structured data; addressing it first would raise this score the most.
