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.

Scored by v3 · source-of-truth hashes: score db860d6ac94e · thresholds e94f8b33e500 — verifiable against the canonical scorer.

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.

Declaration Truthfulness (DVS 1.0.0)

This site publishes an agent capability declaration. DVS verifies whether each declared API operation actually exists in the served /openapi.json — measurement, not trust. Separate from the CAV score.

✅ Publishes a valid declaration — 3 capabilities, all read/content (no callable API operations). There's nothing to cross-verify, so no truthfulness score applies. DVS scores declarations that reference OpenAPI operations (search, booking, checkout).

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.

How to improve

highProfile reflects a block/challenge page — not your contenthighest leverage

whole profile

EvidenceMeasured against a block/challenge page (a bot-wall/CAPTCHA was served (static.cloudflareinsights.com)); every number here describes the wall, not your site.

ImpactAn AI agent hits the same wall and recovers none of your content — fix the block before optimizing anything else.

FixAllowlist legitimate agent user-agents / IP ranges in your WAF or bot-management and serve real content (not a challenge), then re-run.

Third-party impact

1 third-party requests · 11 KiB (34.4% of transfer) — code an agent must also fetch/run before your content settles. Fewer, lazier third-parties = faster, cheaper agent reads.

Wasted JavaScript (by bundle)

Transfer-accurate — each bundle's transfer size × its unused %, ranked by wasted bytes (the biggest code-splitting wins). Unused JS also inflates Token Cost (TC).
