AWCS

What “AWCS” measures and how

The figures the score is made of, each with its own series: a technology whose score is flat can still have moved on one dimension.

Measured on 100 pages, 98.0% of which carried the agentic category, with a confidence margin of ±5.30.

Read

What Read measures

Lighthouse builds the accessibility tree an agent would traverse and scores the page pass or fail. The denominator is only the pages the audit could evaluate: a not-applicable result or an error is excluded rather than counted as a failure, and the fraction that could be evaluated is published beside it as the coverage.

Stable

What Stable measures

Lighthouse's Cumulative Layout Shift audit, counted per page: a page passes when Lighthouse rates its layout shift as good. The denominator is the pages the audit scored. It matters to an agent that works the page the way a person does, by taking a screenshot and clicking where it saw a button: if the page has moved in between, it clicks something else.

Guide

What Guide measures

The pages that pass the llms-txt audit: they serve a file and Lighthouse considers it valid. The denominator is every sampled page, so this is a fraction of the whole web and not of the sites that have a file. This is the figure the score uses, because a broken file does not guide an agent.

Act

What Act measures

A count, not a percentage: how many sampled sites register WebMCP tools that an agent can call. It is the audit that defines the Act dimension; the other WebMCP audits measure how good those tools are, not whether they exist.

Reachable

What Reachable measures

Read from the robots.txt of the sampled sites: of the AI agents we track, how many are not disallowed. It is gradual rather than a yes or no, because turning away one agent is not the same as turning away all of them. A site with no robots.txt blocks nobody, so it counts as fully reachable, and that is what was measured. This is the only figure that multiplies the score instead of adding to it, because it is a precondition: if an agent cannot fetch the page, nothing else about the page matters. One caveat: a blanket Disallow under User-agent: * is not counted, because the corpus-wide measurement cannot see it either, so both are measured the same way.

Measured but not scored

These signals are kept apart from the dimensions because, next to them, a low figure would read as a bad grade for something the score never counts.

The score Lighthouse gives the Agentic Browsing category, read from the report as published. We republish it as a declared reference and never as a figure of ours: its weights are conditional and undocumented, and a number whose calculation we do not control is not one we cite as our own.

Not a Lighthouse audit: it is read from the robots.txt of the sampled sites, and counts the ones whose file names any of the AI crawlers we track. It measures having an explicit policy, whichever way it goes, and it does not count towards the score.

The same llms-txt audit as the figure below, read differently: this one counts the pages that serve something at /llms.txt, valid or not. The distance between the two figures is large, and it is the interesting part: of the pages that serve something, 40.2% serve a file that parses. We believe a good share of the rest are soft 404s, that is, a server answering 200 with an HTML error page, although we cannot check it because we do not fetch those files. So the figure to cite is the valid one below, and this one is best read as an upper bound. Pages whose audit errored are excluded from both, and the coverage says how many that was.
