Agents score group: how agent experience is scored

Agents is one of the four score groups on every report, alongside SEO, Performance and Security. It measures agent experience: whether an AI agent can read the content, reach the site, discover an entry point, understand the policy the site declares, and act on what it finds. Most of its rules are advisory and report what an agent sees without moving the score.

See AI crawlers for how an agent works through a report.

The group splits into five pillars:

• Readable: content without JavaScript, token weight, Markdown responses
• Reachable: AI crawler access, behavioral blocking
• Discoverable: llms.txt, AGENTS.md, agent manifests
• Declared: Content-Signal, noai, RSL licensing
• Actionable: API/OAuth discovery, pay-per-crawl

Category

A handful of cloud rules (LLM parsability, page-type match, AI content, site metadata) extend this group with AI analysis when you’re logged in.
