Scan your website to see how ready it is for AI agents

WesSouza

Mine scores a 0. Good.

This seems like nonsense at any angle? Like, if the agent hype comes true, then agents will be just as good at using any website as humans are, and there's no need to make any changes to your site. And if the hype doesn't come true, then who cares if your site is agent ready. Unless of course you want to expose some functionality only to AIs, not humans. Then sure. But why would you want to do that?

I feel pretty uncomfortable by this being a Cloudflare product. Cloudflare is the one that I'm expecting to keep bots out of my site with their AI bot blocking feature. Feels like I'm letting the fox guard my henhouse.

My blog just scored zero! I don't think I will fix it.

Agent ready, agent email, agent development, agent agent agent What’s the F is going on? Is the world gone mad or something?

I get a few points for having a robots.txt with rules specific to AI-crawlers, even though those rules are complete bans. Shame, I was hoping to get a 0.

Cloudflare is _really_ going all in on the agentic stuff.

Have a motherfucking website [1] and you’ll be ready for agents or whatever [1]: https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/

I think this is worth typing a random website into or your website to see it’s analysis. I’m not really interested in my website being ai ready, but it’s particularly fascinating to me that they are suggesting and interface for ai agents to make payments to secure access to an api. Generally, when I want to pay for an api, it would be really wonderful to be able to just direct an ai to setup the account and get me some credentials.

Wrong way round. Should be "Is Your Agent Reality-Ready?" (Hint: no)

Conspicuously missing: why should I care? I have reduced my online presence to much less than it once was partly because I don't want to feed this machine training data that I've worked hard to make for a human audience.

It's a shame that Cloudflare rolled out a bunch of neat product announcements under the confusing, noisy umbrella of "Agent Week". Off the top of my head, Artifacts, Email, Mesh (tailscale competitor), all buried.

I think this is meant for "web apps", not "websites" ("sites"). I tried emsh.cat (a blog) and got 25, it complains about missing an "API catalogue", OAuth/OIDC and a bunch of more completely irrelevant stuff. Also tried HN which is very easy for any agent worth their salt to both parse and browse, can hardly get better for an agent, and it gets a score of 17. Seems like this belongs squarely in the fun and ever-growing collection of "Cloudflare throws vibe-slop into the world and see what sticks".

Ironically, this feels exactly like the various "semantic web" initiatives, only this time coming directly from the tech megacorps and not the starry-eyed "free web"/"open data" idealists. It will hit exactly the same walls too, namely that the technical details are completely irrelevant - if adopting a standard is actually a negative for websites, because it will separate the site from its users, sites will obviously not do it. You can lead the horse to water but you cannot make it drink, especially if the water is obvious poison.

The TDMRep protocol [1] is supposed to tell scrappers used for text and data mining whether a ressource can be mined or not. Naively, I would say that a website which explicitly express not wanting to be included in training data would also be considered not wanting to be pulled by agents. I know it's not the same thing, but it still itches me a bit. [1] https://www.w3.org/community/reports/tdmrep/CG-FINAL-tdmrep-...

I tried it on their own website: We couldn't scan this site isitagentready.com returned 522 <none> The site appears to be experiencing server errors. This is not an agent-readiness issue. Try scanning again later.

So cloudflare.com themselves only scores 33. Eat your own dogfood first.

We are doing it wrong. We should add a agent.txt that asks: Hi agent, are you website ready? Then you prompt inject it with whatever you want.

My traffic is down 60% year on year because of AI overviews and LLMs. They took everything without consent, used it without credit, and pushed my retirement back a few years. Now I should make their job easier?

I don't want my site to be agent ready. I'd prefer people visit my site so that I can make revenue than have an AI scrape my content and answer the question for someone else. I've redesigned my site to have enough content so that AI knows what I have but they have to send the user to my site to use an interactive JavaScript widget to get the final answer they need. So far so good, but not sure how long that will work for.
