agentic checks passed 35% readiness - how well this site can be read, trusted and transacted with by AI agents
Last checked
utah.edu is live and passes 7 of 30 agentic-readiness checks (35%). It runs on wordpress over HTTPS.
For AI agents, utah.edu's strongest signals are tidy, crawlable markup, fully indexable pages, a visually stable layout, and a lightweight page. 1 render-blocking script(s) in <head>.
Its main gaps are text that is hard for agents to extract, no canonical URL, no structured tables or lists, and long, hard-to-quote sentences. The weakest area is Structured data; addressing it first would raise this score the most.
