Is your site ready for AI agents? A free 10-second agent-readiness check

Jul 3, 2026 · 2 min read · By Mikhail Kuzmitskii

Google added an Agentic Browsing audit to Lighthouse, Cloudflare shows sites an Agent Readiness score, and BrightEdge predicts that by the end of 2026 most “visitors” to commercial sites will be AI agents. “Can an agent consume my site?” has become a discipline of its own — so we built a free checker for it: the AI Agent-Readiness Checker.

What the checker scores

Paste a domain — get a 0–100 score across six machine-readability signals (weights in brackets):

Structured data, JSON-LD (30) — the only format where an agent gets facts about the page without parsing prose: types, prices, authors, FAQs.
llms.txt (20) — a curated site index for AI engines (the llmstxt.org standard): what matters, where it lives, what to read first.
Author / Person markup (15) — the E-E-A-T anchor: who stands behind the content. A standalone Person node with knowsAbout and worksFor, not just a name in the footer.
sameAs entity links (15) — connecting your brand to the knowledge graph (social profiles, Wikidata) so an agent knows WHICH entity you are.
llms-full.txt (10) — your whole site’s content in one fetch, so an agent doesn’t crawl a hundred pages.
Markdown alternates (10) — rel="alternate" type="text/markdown": a clean markdown version of the page instead of tons of HTML/JS — the format RAG pipelines love.

A score of 75+ is “agent-ready”, 50–74 “partially ready”, below that agents see your site as a brick wall.

We tested it on ourselves — honestly

We ran the checker on our own homepage and scored 75/100: no standalone Person node (the author markup was hiding nested inside Organization) and no markdown alternates for the homepage. Cobbler’s children. We fixed both the same day — seomatrix.ai now serves /index.md and a proper author node. Check us — and yourself.

When a score isn’t enough

The checker answers “can agents read us”. The next question — “does AI actually cite us on real queries?” — is covered by the free AI-visibility check, and the full picture with an element-level prioritized fix list comes from the paid GEO/SEO audit — which now includes a free month of AI-visibility monitoring.

FAQ

What is site agent-readiness?

It's a site's ability to be CONSUMED by an AI agent or answer engine — not "render nicely in a browser" but expose machine-readable structure. The key signals are llms.txt, llms-full.txt, JSON-LD, author markup, sameAs entity links and markdown page versions.

How is agent-readiness different from classic SEO?

Classic SEO optimizes for a crawler and blue-link rankings. Agent-readiness optimizes for an agent that reads your site as DATA — fetching, citing and acting on it. A site can rank perfectly and still be unreadable to agents.

How do I check agent-readiness for free?

Paste your domain into our free checker at /tools/agent-readiness/ — you get a 0–100 score across six signals, and every failing signal explains what to fix. No signup.
