What Core Agent Vitals is

Core Agent Vitals (CAV) is the framework — created by Rafael Lopes — for measuring how AI agents read, understand, and act on a web page: what a machine consumer actually recovers, comprehends, and can use.

The six metrics (defined by Rafael Lopes)

CRR — Content Recovery Ratio (good ≥ 0.95)

Meaningful content present in the raw pre-JavaScript HTML divided by the content available after a full render. A client-rendered page can score near zero even when it looks perfect to a person.

SSD — Semantic Signal Density (good ≥ 0.60)

Half the share of tokens that are main content (signal vs. boilerplate noise) plus half the coverage of required structured-data (JSON-LD) fields for the page’s critical entities.

ARR — Action Resolution Rate (good = 1.0)

The share of critical-path actions resolvable through stable accessible-tree locators with zero selector drift. Your ARIA labels are the agent’s API.

TC — Token Cost (good < 4,000)

The cl100k_base token count of the agent representation of the page. A bloated, boilerplate-heavy page burns the agent’s budget before it reaches your content.

TTFUT — Time to First Useful Token (good low / watch)

How fast the first useful token reaches a streaming agent — the latency signal. Timing-based, so a signal to watch rather than a hard gate.

AF — Answer Fidelity (good ≥ 0.95)

The north-star metric: given only the page’s agent representation, an LLM correctly answers canonical per-template questions about it. Measures whether the page is not just recoverable but actually understood.

Diagnostics

high CRR Content is hidden behind JavaScript

30% of content requires JS

Fix: Server-render or statically generate the main content so a non-JS agent still receives it; make client rendering a progressive enhancement, not the source of truth.

✗ No CAPTCHA wall high impact Detected: turnstile

Business impact CAPTCHAs stop bots — including the AI agents your customers send to shop or book. Content behind a challenge is unreachable.

What we measured We fingerprint reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha and Cloudflare Turnstile in the page.

How to fix Reserve CAPTCHA for login/checkout flows, never public content pages.

Spec: https://developers.cloudflare.com/turnstile/

~ No content-blocking cookie wall medium impact Consent platform: onetrust (verify it doesn't block content)

Business impact A consent wall that hides content until a click is invisible to agents — they cannot click 'Accept'.

What we measured We fingerprint OneTrust, Cookiebot, Usercentrics and similar managers and flag content-blocking ones.

How to fix Use an overlay banner that leaves content in the DOM, not a blocking interstitial.

Spec: https://gdpr.eu/cookies/

~ WebMCP endpoint low impact Absent (emerging standard)

Business impact WebMCP lets agents call actions on your site directly (book, buy, query) instead of scraping the DOM. Early adopters get native AI-agent interoperability.

What we measured We check /.well-known/webmcp and /webmcp.json for a valid actions array.

How to fix Add a WebMCP endpoint exposing your key actions to agents.

How to improve

highReduce unused JavaScripthighest leverage

3225 KiB (66%) of JS goes unused. Code-split, lazy-load below-the-fold scripts, and drop unused dependencies — less JS also lowers CAV Token Cost (TC) and speeds up agent parsing.

mediumCut total transfer weight

2.4 MB transferred. Enable Brotli, serve WebP/AVIF images, and defer non-critical resources.

JavaScript coverage

3225 KiB unused of 4908 KiB (66% unused JS) — unused JS inflates Token Cost (TC) and slows the agent's parse.
