This is how AI agents (not browsers) experience infoq.com. The score weights five categories of machine-readability; the ticks on the arc are the 31 individual checks behind it.

Top fixes

Checks tagged “emerging” are 2026 agent-protocol standards most of the web hasn’t adopted yet — adopting early is an edge, not a defect.

failLink response headersDiscoverability

No HTTP Link: response headers. Emit canonical/alternate/describedby relations so HEAD-only or stream-rendering agents get them without parsing HTML.

Fix: Emit `Link:` headers for canonical, alternate-language, and describedby relations. Agents that fetch HEAD-only or stream-render rely on these.

failText-to-markup ratioReadability

Visible text is 6.7% of HTML weight (15920/236094 bytes). Low. Markup may be crowding out agent-usable text.

Fix: Heavy ad or navigation markup crowds out agent-usable text. Aim for a text-to-DOM ratio above 15%.

warnStructured data validatesStructured data

1 recommended-field warning(s). First: WebSite recommends "potentialAction" (improves agent comprehension).

Fix: Validate your JSON-LD with Google Rich Results test. Fix missing required properties.

warnHeading hierarchyReadability

Heading issues: 8 skipped level(s).

Fix: Use a single H1 and avoid skipping heading levels (H1 → H3).

warnTime to first bytePerformance

TTFB 740ms. Acceptable.

Fix: Agents time out aggressively. Use edge caching for anonymous requests to cut TTFB below 800ms.

failContent-Signal directivesemergingDiscoverability

No Content-Signal directives. Add e.g. `Content-Signal: ai-train=no, ai-summarize=yes` to declare granular AI usage policy beyond binary allow/disallow.

Fix: Add `Content-Signal:` directives to your robots.txt. This is the emerging standard (Cloudflare-driven) for declaring fine-grained AI usage policy beyond a binary allow/disallow.

Does AI actually recommend infoq.com?

This scan shows whether an agent can read the site. One free probe asks a real assistant a real buying question and records who it cited.

Run the free probe →
This scan graded one page. Your site is more than one page.

This graded your homepage. Your pricing, docs, and checkout live on other pages — the ones assistants actually quote when they recommend you — and a 75/100 here means agents are already missing things on the page you polish most. The $29 Deep Scan audits the whole site against all 31 checks, then emails a PDF with every failing check and its exact fix, ranked by what costs you the most visibility. One-time, delivered in minutes, no subscription.

Qualifies for certificationBronze

Right now, only you know this score. Your buyers ask AI before they buy — certification is how you show them, and anyone comparing you to a competitor, that assistants can actually read, quote, and use your site.

  • A public verification URL you can drop into a sales deck, a procurement questionnaire, or a partner review — anyone can check it, dated and signed.
  • An embeddable badge for your site — the visible version of a property competitors can’t claim without earning the score.
  • Weekly re-checks for a full year. A deploy that breaks agent access gets caught before it costs you recommendations — and before the certificate would lapse.

Sites under 70 can’t buy this at any price — that’s what makes displaying it mean something.

Track this score

Get this report by email, then a heads-up when infoq.com’s agent-readiness actually changes — a check regressing, or the composite dropping.

Two things never trigger an email: a score change caused by us publishing a new rubric, because that is a different instrument rather than a change to your site, and movement explained only by timing-derived checks, which shift run to run on a site nobody touched.

Want it on your own schedule, with Slack or a webhook instead of email? Score-drift monitoring is on every paid plan.

This score says whether an AI agent could read infoq.com. AI traffic analytics says whether one actually came — and which pages turned it away.
