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.

The 28-day score is the p75 of nightly runs — the stable number to cite. Deterministic metrics (CRR/SSD/TC) show their latest value (they move only when the site changes); timing (TTFUT) and answer-fidelity (AF) are smoothed by 28-day p75 — the same lab-vs-field split Core Web Vitals uses. Synthetic daily measurement, not real-user field data.

Diagnostics

high CRR Content is hidden behind JavaScript

pre-JS raw HTML

Evidence77% of content requires JS · 23% of rendered content recovered (rest is placeholder/wrong)

ImpactA non-rendering agent never sees the JS-injected content.

Effort1–4 h

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.

high SSD Low signal-to-noise for agents

content vs chrome/boilerplate

Evidencesignal 0.39 · JSON-LD 0/1 · missing: structured-data

ImpactAgent spends tokens parsing nav/boilerplate instead of content.

Effort30–90 min

Fix: Wrap the real content in <main>/<article>, cut repeated nav/boilerplate, and keep the primary content dense and early in the DOM.

✗ llms.txt present high impact Absent at /llms.txt and /.well-known/llms.txt

Business impact llms.txt is the robots.txt for AI: it tells agents what your site is, what matters, and where to find it. Without it AI guesses — and guessing means inaccurate recommendations and lost visibility.

What we measured We fetch /llms.txt and /.well-known/llms.txt and validate the spec (H1 title + a one-line blockquote summary). We also note /llms-full.txt (your full content as Markdown).

How to fix Create /llms.txt with a short summary + key pages; optionally /llms-full.txt with full content in Markdown.

✗ Structured data (JSON-LD) medium impact No JSON-LD found

Business impact Schema.org JSON-LD tells agents what a page IS (product, article, business) with typed fields (price, rating, hours). Without it agents extract less reliably.

What we measured We parse <script type=application/ld+json>, validate it, and check for populated @type fields.

How to fix Add JSON-LD: Organization/LocalBusiness on the homepage, Product on product pages, Article on posts.

Transport & Trust (SEC 1.0.0)

HTTPS, HSTS, CSP, sniffing, referrer and CORS posture. Diagnostic only — this does not affect the CAV score. A security header does not make a page more legible to an agent, so scoring it would reward a CDN toggle that changes nothing an agent can recover. We measure it and say so.
