agentic checks passed 43% readiness - how well this site can be read, trusted and transacted with by AI agents
Last checked
wa.gov is live and passes 8 of 30 agentic-readiness checks (43%). It runs on drupal on nginx over HTTPS.
For AI agents, wa.gov's strongest signals are clean semantic HTML, fully indexable pages, a visually stable layout, and a clear canonical URL. 16 blocking stylesheets in <head>.
Its main gaps are text that is hard for agents to extract, no structured tables or lists, long, hard-to-quote sentences, and no Schema.org structured data. The weakest area is Structured data; addressing it first would raise this score the most.
